Most JWS today dont know that once the WTS proclaimed that 1914 was going to be the start of Armageddon and that Jesus's return was in 1874.
The WTS leaders took the start of the WWI as another poignant event to exploit and embellish their End Times doctrine. Sell it, exploit and market in literature, we're Jah's earthly publishing house.
Its an apostate sin to point a specific date according to Jesus and he also instructed his "True" followers to not listen or pay attention to these false Prophets.
There are many reasons why the WTS doesn't want people to actually read the bible, particularly the words of Jesus Christ.
For an organization that proclaims that anyone who comes under their control and direction they actually lose their chance of salvation by being devoted to the WTS/JWS
So the war started in July 1914, and by August 15 of that same year, they were saying this:
Notice: THEN (right after the war) the great Armageddon of the Bible may be expected.
On September 1st, 1914, they said Armageddon would come in the spring of 1915. They didn´t link it to the end of the war, but given the many other times they mentioned that Armageddon would come at the end of the war, they obviously thought that the war would have a quick end.
Then in October 15, 1914, they repeated that Armageddon would come right after the war:
Notice that they also said that they were in the "Great Tribulation", and that the "Cry of Peace" prophecy had already been fulfilled.
So in the WT Study for January 10, 1915, they repeated: Armageddon will come right after the war!
February 15, 1915, they repeated it again:
The war was the prelude to Armageddon.
This one´s rich! On March 15, 1915, they said that "Pastor Russell´s enemies" were saying that the end of the war would NOT result in Armageddon. Guess "Pastor Russell´s enemies" were right hahahaha
April 15, 1915: the war is the prelude to Armageddon... the war is leading to Armageddon...
