JWs predicted something big would happen in 1975, and sure enough it did!"
Exactly.
The main problem of the WTBS is they are too much focused to bible verses and numerology. Because of too many trees, they do not see the forest ...

The year the end finally came: the YEAR OF THE BIG LIE
by Terry inyou have to understand three things to comprehend the significance of 1975.. 1975 was the end of the watchtower society as we who lived in the 50's and 60's once knew it.
it would forever change because it was exposed for all the world to see as a group of liars and deceived dupes.. it all began with a baptist farmer named william miller who sat down with only his bible and a concordance and a crackpot idea that a .
a "day for a year" and the gentile times meant something profound which would effect his own day and time.

snowbird (sylvia): I never believed 1975 was to be the end of anything
Sorry, this is not quite right. I already posted it yesterday in this thread.
1975 was a turning point in the world history. Similar to 1914. But it seems nobody takes care. Even WTBS ignores the facts.
In 1975 began the rising of state indebtedness, up to point of no return (worldwide!) - as a result of the Yom-Kippur-war in Oct. 1973 and the following oil price explosion. 1975 began the epoch of shortage of crude oil (peak oil 2010? - perhaps earlier..)
There is no way out, as you can see. This situation leads into a new war for oil and other raw materials. Read the works of important economy scientists, please.

PeacePeriodRemarkablyForecast
I found great joy in returning to the many warm brothers at Brooklyn Bethel. I had come in time to attend the history-making convention in Cleveland, Ohio, September 18-20, 1942. There, Brother N. H. Knorr, the Society’s new president, gave the talk "Peace—Can It Last?" This brought new light on Revelation 17:8. It was revealed that the Allied powers would prevail and that a new international "peace beast" would arise. This did occur when, after the war ended in 1945, the United Nations was organized!
It was not too difficult to make this "remarkable forecast" in Sept. 1942.
Why?: look at wikipedia - history of the United Nations, and see:
"The term "United Nations" (which appears in stanza 35 of Canto III of Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage) was decided by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill [1] during World War II, to refer to the Allies. Its first formal use was in the 1 January1942Declaration by the United Nations, which committed the Allies to the principles of the Atlantic Charter and pledged them not to seek a separate peace with the Axis powers. Thereafter, the Allies used the term "United Nations Fighting Forces" to refer to their alliance."

Coming to a KH near you...the generation/new light WT
by Mickey mouse innext weekend congregations around the world will be studying the wt article on the new definition of a "generation".. i would think there will be an epidemic of cognitive dissonance.
this must be the first time there has been a change of doctrine on a singular topic twice in 13 years.
for those still in like me, use the opportunity to get your partner thinking..

" This feature of the Lord's day extends from 1914 until the LAST OF THE FAITHFUL ANOINTED ONES DIES AND IS RESURRECTED."
But if ever that evil slave should say in his heart: "my master is delaying", and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, THE MASTER OF THAT SLAVE WILL COME ON A DAY THAT HE DOES NOT EXPECT AND IN AN HOUR THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW, and will punish him with the greatest severity and will ASSIGN HIM HIS PART WITH THE HYPOCRITES.
