First the 1880 teaching:-
"The seventh trumpet .. reaches to 1914.. Christ entered upon the official work of King in 1878.. But what becomes of the idea of those who now oppose us in these things, that Christ does not come into possession of His crown, until after this day of wrath? Will they not be compelled to admit for consistency's sake that the harvest and the treading of the winepress must be located away beyond 1914? It seems too much like desperation for them to take such ground, but they must do it or admit that a part of the harvest and the disposal of such as are represented by the clusters of the vine, and which are to be subjected to the wrath of God, take place after the Son of man is crowned. Will any one be so reckless as to take the ground that the 'seven last plagues' of Revelation 15 contained in the 'seven vials,' in which are filled up the wrath of God, are to be fulfilled after the day of wrath is ended? Will any whose lamps are burning brightly with the light of the truth on the Times of the Gentiles, and the time of trouble or day of vengeance with which those times end, take the ground that the day of wrath extends beyond 1914? They must do all this, and thus ignore the parallelism between the two days of wrath, or admit that Christ receives His crown before the subjugation of the nations in this day of wrath." - 1880WTWR 07 01 04
(a) SUMMARY OF WATCHTOWER'S 1880 TEACHING: Only reckless people without the light of truth believe that the day of wrath (a period of many years) extends BEYOND 1914.
Now the 1938 spin on the 1880 teaching:-
"As far back as 1880 The Watchtower pointed to A.D. 1914 as the .. time great trouble would come upon the nations" - 1938WTWR 02 01 035
(b) SUMMARY OF WATCHTOWER'S 1880 TEACHING ACCORDING TO THE 1938 SPIN-DOCTORS: God's people believed that the day of wrath (a period of many years) STARTS in 1914
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So, how can one and the same period (of many years' duration) both start in 1914 and end in 1914?????????
Yet another shameful LIE by the Experts at Vending Door-To-Door Weasel-wording, Roguery .. and DEATH.
Or perhaps the subtle message in the 1938 Watchtower was that Jehovah's Witnesses are precisely those desperate, reckless people without the light of truth referred to in the 1880 Watchtower?
No other possibility.
The Watchtower Society and the Creed of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a SHAMEFUL NUISANCE, a CHEAT, a BLASPHEMOUS INSULT, a SHAM, a FILTHY LIE, a DECEITFUL TRICK, a SCANDAL, an ORGANIZED FRAUD, a DISGRACE, an ABOMINATION and a DAMNED OUTRAGE from start to finish.
Why argue about it?
