greetings, folks: so, it's been 40 years since 1975. and, if you were actively involved with the witnesses back then, the mindset of many was, that by early autumn of 1975, it would mark the anniversary of 6000 years of human existence.
and, the hope was then, that it would mark the start of the 1000-year of christ, from the heavenly realm.
but, looking back now, 40 years ago, in june of 1975, only 3 more months remained until early autumn.
How about this:
Back in 1968, my PO dad recounted to his flock how he'd had a long conversation with a work colleague. The colleague had asked him what he would do on Jan 1st, 1976, if armageddon hadn't occurred by then. This is what he said:
"Give me a year either way. If armageddon hasn't arrived by the end of 1976, I shall go and buy a pack of Woodbines (UK ciggies) and smoke the lot alongside you".
wow.

We did the countdown starting in 1966. Our CO worked out that we would cover our territory just 9 more times before 1975. There was also the matter of us all bearing blood guilt if we didn't get the word out and our householders became a part of the "slain of Jehovah".
He'd kill them and it was all our fault!
i am looking for some songs that are in ref to celebrating leaving, seeing the light, realizing what you were told wasnt right, being happy w your life, etc etc.
all those emotions about being controlled and repressed, being told what you can feel or think or how to live, blindly following the "brotherhood ".
I think I may have hummed this tune just after the JC gave me the boot:

Forget armageddon. In 1975, this was what was really scaring the pants off everyone:
the latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.
he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.
not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.
this is a crappy letter from the watchtower.
i'm only posting it to show how micro-managers these fools are.
and at the end, they say: "we should avoid making specific rules about somewhat technical matters".
