If I remember correctly there was also some sort of peace and securtity book that came out around that time and also some last minute (just before the end of the world) special tract work being carried out in earnest at that time. And here we are forty plus years later.

Awake October 8 1972 False Alarm About "Peace and Security"
by scotoma inthe watchtower study yesterday made it clear that the cry of peace and security has not occurred yet.. what they don't mention is their false alarm that they falsely pointed to events in 1972 as the cry of peace and security.
that was 42 years ago.. they did this with a special awake in october of 1972. they devoted the full issue to the subject.
it rivals the infamous "is it later than you think" special awake of october 8 1968 in its grandiose predictions.. the october 8 issue of awake 1972 is must reading in view of the latest discussion of peace and security.. here are a few exerpts with the grandiose statements in red.

Do you feel guilty?
by Justmenthedogs inso while i was out hiking with the dogs today i got to thinking about this forum and was wondering how many of you still feel guilty from time to time for leaving?
i do, i miss my family at times but then i think about the life that i have created and i have a good one, i have good friends and i am happy, happier then i ever was as a jw.
i was just wondering if others feel the same way sometimes..

I don't feel the least bit guilty. Actually I feel very greatful that I got out when I did while I was still young and had the time to make a better life for myself rather than wasting decades of my life selling books and magazine for a religious cult waiting for the end of the world that never came.

If the family lost the case and it cost them all they had financially defending their Watchtower based beliefs no doubt the Watchtower would come to their rescue and get them back on their feet. Yeah right. The Watchtower would reward their loyalty by letting them go down just like that poor man's wife. It is really sad that these misguided people will die or let others die for an organization that couldn't give a you know what about them.

I went back and read the that post and the related ones wearewatchingyou. OMG How confusing is that. I think you could asked 6 jws about this subject and get 6 different answers. If he didn't come back in 1914 and select them in 1919 then all those years they have been peddling a lie. What has been the point of it all.
If you were a devoted JW wouldn't you be a little upset over all the years you've spent proclaim a false message. Wouldn't you feel like asking the Watchtower: What is the point of me spending my life proclaiming this sh#t as the truth if your just going to change it? Shouldn't you wait till you're sure you've got something right before you ask people go out and to spread your message around? And shouldn't we wait till we if God selects you before we put all a eggs in one basket and follow you?
To me it seems like they just canceled their own authority with this change.

If he didn't return in 1914 then he wasn't around to pick them. That could be a problem for them.

I don't think they are interested. Once people are indoctinated (brainwashed) they just go along doing whatever the Watchtower tells them to do no matter how bored and miserable it makes them.

Dubbies stopped by
by rebel8 inwell just like everyone else, we were visited by 2 old ladies.
mr. rebel8 was home and it went something like, "we're on a worldwide mission and we wanted to know if we could just leave this in your door.
" so he said ok and took it (because he knew i'd have fun with it later).. the tract reads like a note i passed to a boy in 1st grade:.

I think a lot of witnesses are feeling a lot of stress these days trying to force themselves to believe they have the "truth". They just can't seem to admit to themselves that they have been wrong. And they fear what would happen to them if they did.
