Sea Breeze, you are so right! They are earning their own salvation RIGHT NOW by going to the meetings, going out in service, helping with various cleaning or construction. Nothing about a relationship with Christ.

"Millions Now Living Will Never Die" - a small book published in 1920.
Whose 'fantasy' was that?I doubt anyone old enough to read that little literary gem would still be living today. Their shamelessness knows no bounds.

Halcon OMG, They are still recycling that garbage talk? I've been out of the org for about 25 years and I remember this talk given that long ago.

😂Ditto. I'm sure I remember that talk.
Kingdom realities?? Like the generation who saw 1914 with understanding would be alive at Armageddon? Or selling your house in 1975 to use the last few months before the The End™ to preach?Those realities, they mean?!

I'm far from being old enough to have read it in the 1920s myself, but you don't have to google JWs or Watchtower very long to learn about it - and to learn much more about the silly fantasies of JWs from the past.

Compare Watchtower fantasies with a typical daily devotion by Oswald Chambers, probably the number one devotional book of all time - www.utmost.org
Getting There
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. — Matthew 11:28
Do I want to get to this place of rest? I can, right now. The questions that matter in life are remarkably few, and they are all answered by the words “Come to me.” Not “Do this, don’t do that” but “Come to me.” If I will simply come to Jesus, my life will be brought into accordance with my deepest desires. I will cease sinning, and I will hear the song of the Lord begin.
Have you ever come to Jesus? Watch the stubbornness of your heart. You will do anything besides the simple, childlike thing. But if you want to stop sinning, you must be simple enough to come and commit yourself to what Jesus says. The attitude of coming is one of complete surrender; you let go of everything and commit all to him.
Jesus Christ makes himself the touchstone for our lives. Look at how he uses the word come. At the most unexpected moments, he whispers, “Come to me.” The instant you hear his voice, you are drawn to him, changed by him. Personal contact with Jesus changes everything.
“And I will give you rest.” Jesus isn’t saying that he’ll put you to bed, hold your hand, and sing you to sleep. He’s saying, “I will get you out of bed—out of the inertia and the exhaustion, out of the state of being half dead while you are alive.” He’s saying, “I will fill you with the spirit of life, and you will be sustained by the perfection of vital activity.”
Sometimes we get pathetic; instead of accepting the will of the Lord with confidence, we start talking about “suffering” [enduring] it. Where is the majestic vitality of the Son of God in that?

No offence to the oratory skills of your brother Rules, but the though of listening to such a talk, brings up a little vomit in my mouth. Yet, jw's will sit through pretending they are listening.
When my son was a teenager, he told that talks sounded like the Charlie Brown meme:
