“They say that it is sufficient to read the bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such ‘Bible reading,’ they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom’s clergy were teaching 100 years ago…”—The Watchtower, August 15, 1981, pp. 28-29
Thanks Punk , that sounds right.

Rattigan350: There was a GB update that said not to look for that cry and it appears that many didn't even notice that.
I think it's because they are so conditioned to look for signs that the end is near. I remember when the UN designated 1986 as the Year of Peace and Security. If ever there was a moment to recognize a sign, that was it. It may be that, after nothing came of it, the WTS decided to be a bit more circumspect. That was only a few years after they finally made a grudging concession about 1975, and they would not have wanted to stall growth after it had picked up again.
