When I began discussing my observations in Revelation (only with "mature ones", of course) that Armageddon, the resurrection of the "rest of the dead", judgment, and the new earth did not occur until "after the end of the thousand years"--not at the beginning as the WTS teaches (Rev. 20)--and I could find no scripture basis to support our belief about the "last generation" never dying and a new earth DURING the thousand years, I was warned. After considerable effort to rationalize the WTS position to me, one of the "annointed" said "... and this is a warning: You might be right, but you could be disfellowshipped for 'getting ahead of the Organization.' "
He cited an example of a Witness brother who challenged a WT teaching. The fellow could not be persuaded, was disfellowshipped, and about 3 years later the Watchtower came out with "new light" on scripture in agreement with what the man had been disfellowshipped for professing.
Oh well, we all know that Russell and Rutherford would be disfellowshipped today for their beliefs, and quite probably Knorr and Frederick Franz as well.
Watchtower moral: It is better to have 100% blind unity in the dark than a fraction of light.
