  Charles Russell was very explicit as to what, when, and how things would happen. He wrote it in explicit detail in his six books Studies in the Scriptures:

  • 1799 - 1914: The time of the end. The last days.
  • 1874 - 1914: The battle of Armageddon. It was supposed to start as a slow motion social Armageddon accelerating to a peak by 1914. Religion would be overthrown; communists and anarchists would be causing disruption; and pure chaos and destruction would culminate by 1914 (No earthquakes, world wars or other pyrotechnics like the JWs current pyrotechnics).
  • 1914: The beginning of the Millennium. All nations would be overthrown by then and Jesus' reign of peace would commence.

  When something doesn't happen as predicted, spiritualize its fulfilment. Adventists did it in 1844 when the predicted end did not occur, and JWs (known then as Bible Students) did it in 1914 when the end did not occur.

  You cannot successfully argue with the invisible fulfilment of Scripture.

  “9 Some may feel that they can interpret the Bible on their own. However, Jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only channel for dispensing spiritual food. Since 1919, the glorified Jesus Christ has been using that slave to help his followers understand God’s own Book and heed its directives. By obeying the instructions found in the Bible, we promote cleanness, peace, and unity in the congregation. Each one of us does well to ask himself, ‘Am I loyal to the channel that Jesus is using today?’

  ”

  baker: "#9-- the only channel for dispensing spiritual food. Since 1919, the glorified Jesus Christ has been using that slave to help his followers understand God’s own Book-- ( yesterday's wt study. )

  The spiritual food that the f&d slave dispensed in 1919 was: " The world has ended, Millions now living will never die, ." so to help us understand that:

  the wt slave predicted then, that there would be > 2 000 000 ~100 year old jws now? If Armageddon came in the next 3 years? if not, will the OS, Great Crowd have to start overlapping too? some help that is.

  This lying omission F&DS self promotion stinks. Eigenlob stinkt.

  slimboyfat - "JWs have such a low bar for what passes as proof that these statements make perfect sense to them."

  "Everything is proof we're right! Even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff!"
