    I remember in the late 80's, the elders said that "peace and security" would be alot more than the 1986 year of peace. Now I guess that they don't see any peace on the horizon, so they look back to 1986.

    If they can look back to different dates and not make a prediction, they could always be right. Sputnik could be true after all!

    Human nature sure makes for intriguing study; no matter how many times they guessed wrong, people still line up to try their hand at the old ``pick the pea in the shell" game; it's depressing to contemplate how many JWs have already gone to their graves while hoping desperately for the Big A to restore their youth, health and fortunes, yet how many more have taken their place in that queue!

    P.T. Barnum sure had it right.......

    That's right, "There's a SUCKER born every minute". And the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society lives off this truth.

    Full colour magazines started that year, if I recall correctly.
    I was a Pioneer back then.

    Who declares "Peace and Security"? They've flip-flopped on that one, too.

    I remember in 86 they re-issued the Peace and Security book at a "special talk." There was a lot of speculation and excitement when the congregation received their copy of the book at the special talk.

    Several made the comment that this was the start of the Great "T".

    If I remember correctly they were saying that the worlds religions were false prophets for declaring a year of peace when there wasn't peace at all . The scripture implied says in the days the nations are saying peace and security ,not on the day they say peace and security . They continue to claim they will bring peace and security thru their efforts at the UN with the current war on terror and tyranny .

    My prediction: The Society aka "the faithful & discreet slave", will continue to allude to old events as PERHAPS fulfilling Bible prophecy.It's a no-lose situation. That way they can't be quoted as definitively saying something was said.
