    Here's a blast from the past.

    *******************************

    The Watch Tower Herald Of Christ's Presence
    Sept 1 1930 p. 2

    TO US THE SCRIPTURES CLEARLY TEACH

    THAT JEHOVAH is the only true God, the Maker of
    heaven and earth, and is from everlasting to everlasting; that
    the Logos was the beginning of his creation; that the Logos
    became a man; that ho is now the Lord Jesus Christ in glory,
    clothed with all power in heaven and in earth.

    THAT GOD created the earth for man, and created perfect
    man for the earth and placed him upon it; that man wilfully
    disobeyed God's law and was sentenced to death; that by
    reason of Adam's wrongful act all men are born smners and
    without the right to life.

    THAT JESUS was made a human being in order that he
    might become the Redeemer of man; that he gave his life a
    sacrifice for man and thereby produced the ransom price; that
    Jesus the divine was raised from the dead, ascended into
    heaven, and presented the value of his human sacrifice as the
    redemptive price for man.

    THAT FOR MANY CENTURIES God, through Christ, has
    been selecting from among men the members of his church,
    which constitutes the body of Christ; that the mission of the
    church is to follow in the footsteps of her Lord Christ Jesus,
    grow in his likeness, give testimony to the name and purpose
    of Jehovah God, and ultimately be glorified with Christ Jesus
    in his heavenly kingdom; that Christ, Head and body, eonstitutes
    the "seed of Abraham" through which all families of
    the earth shall be blessed.

    THAT THE WORLD HAS ENDED; that the Lord Jesus
    has returned and is now present; that Jehovah has placed
    Christ Jesus upon his throne and now commands all nations
    and peoples to hear and obey him.

    THAT THE HOPE OF THE PEOPLES of earth is restoration
    to human perfection during the reign of Christ; that
    the reign of Christ will afford opportunity to every man to
    have a fair trial for life, and those who obey will live on earth
    for ever in a state of happiness.

    That's why it's taking so long. It happened and we all missed it. The world ended, Christ returned, it's over.

    THAT THE WORLD HAS ENDED

    is that the 1925 ending or the 1914 ending? there's been so many that they should really identify which one it is. it's been such a long time since it's ending, and jesus hasnt done anything yet. taking his time during his millenial reign isnt he? is the lord jesus one for procrastination? and if the world has ended in whatever year the WTS wanted it to happen, then how can the world we have now end? there's no prophecy for another ending to the world, so this system will carry on as normal.

    More than a few active Witnesses don't know their belief is that the world ended in 1914 and then Jehovah declared an intermission so more religious literature could be manufactured and distributed for a requested donation except that was changed to a voluntary donation and so Jehovah's name could be vindicated only his name didn't need vindicating and that was changed to sanctifying because his name did need sanctifying.

    It is an academic teaching and compares with the mediator doctrine which says Jesus is the mediator for the anointed only and not to the Jonadabs. The Jonadabs mediator is the Governing Body because they are really the mediator for the rest of the anointed class and they get their information directly from Jesus through thought transference.

    Most Witnesses I know will deny both teachings and both are plainly taught in their literature. So how do ya figure that?

    Jim, What ended in 1975 was the end of 6000 years of man's total history on the planet. Archeological and scientific evidence that may indicate a much longer human history on the planet is all wrong because it does not agree with The Bible. The secular opinion of the structure of the planet and the universe is also all wrong and there really are angels and demons and snakes really can talk.

    This was really all explained in the Aid To Bible Understanding book except it really didn't explain it very well and was replaced with the Insight On The Scriptures book which plainly states that Biblical things can't be plainly stated. This was also microscopically discussed in a special needs segment of the Service Meeting last March in Puckwanna Iowa that was simultaneously broadcast by closed circuit television to all congregations on the planet that had a satellite dish and a de scrambler.

    So I hope this clears up the confusion caused by speculation by some brothers and it was decided by the Governing Body during a secret meeting that the world did not end in 1975 and that 1975 was only an anniversary of the creating of Adam and Eve was not created at that time even though they had reported that Adam and Eve were the same age when Seth was born they are hoping no one will read about that.

    Any questions?

    Gary, the fact that God's servants have misunderstood Jehovah's timetable shouldn't undermine our trust in Jehovah's Organization.
