  In 1955 it was claimed:"In light of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy it is becoming clear that the war of Armageddon is nearing its breaking out point.That same year Newsweek reported:"Last week N.H.Knorr told the witnesses in convention to its highly audible delight that Armageddon would come 'soon'. Its terrible upheaval,he assured his audience,' will take place in my time.I anticipate seeing it.

  Watch Tower president Knorr died on June 8,1977.

  Do you know of any other statements without specific dates that have been made.I have more, but I'll wait for yours.

  the constant claim that the end is "so near" and we'll live to see it. too bad the generation before was told that, and the generation before, and the generation before.

  This "end is near" thing isn't novel to Jehovah's Witnesses. This rubbish has been preached as long as there have been zealots calling themselves Christians.

  1936.To say that Armageddon is far off is merely expressing the opinion of man;it is speaking arbitrarily, out of human shortsightedness and without the due consideration of the scriptures and the prsent progress of Jehovah's work....Watch Tower president Joseph Rutherford who died in 1942!
