Well at least they can't blame the current calendar screwup on Clayton Woodworth. He died in 1951 so someone else will have to take the 'heat' for this one.

Me too Dwain..............quit school in 1972, pioneered and went to Bethel in 1974. The hoopla and circus around 1975 was built up at every meeting, circuit assembly, district assemby, field service meeting and private gathering . It came from the top down and was NOT the private interpretation of a few over zealous brothers.

You are so right Violia.
The new Pope is concerned about 3 things:
1. The image of a newer more modern Catholic Church in the eyes of outsiders.
2. The finances of the Catholic Church.
3. Retaining their youth.
The new Governing Body Popes are concerned about 3 things:
1. The image of a newer more modern Jehovahs Witnesses Church.
2. The finances of the Jehovahs Witnesses Church.
3. Retaining their youth.

Do you remember the 15 minute break at the Sun. meeting?
by 3rdgen ina poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.
break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.
the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.

Our Sunday meeting was in the afternoon. During the intermission I went out to the car and listened to the Boston Red Sox game on the radio for as long as I dared to.

"Demon activity appears to be on the increase, varying in degree and form from place to place. The more prevalent that spiritistic practices are in a certain area, the more problems there are likely to be with demon afflictions and harassment.
The attack by wicked spirit forces can take many forms. From actual cases, we know there may be physical attack, as well as mental attack. There may be a bodily blow, a slap in the face, a throwing of one to the ground (Mark 9:17, 18), bodily illness and pain, doctors being unable to find a cause. (Luke 11:14; Mark 1:26; 9:25;, Matt. 12:22) One may be disturbed while trying to sleep, due to the prevalence of abnormal noises in the house. There may be a tugging of bed covers, a shaking of the bed, an apparition such as a face or a pair of vicious eyes. Often a 'voice' is heard that harrases and terrorizes. The voice usually suggests or commands a certain course of action, which, if followed, can lead to spiritual collapse, violcence, insanity or suicide." - The Watchtower December 15, 1966 "Repelling THE ATTACK OF WICKED SPIRITS" pgs 739-744
Foolishness and idiocy right from the horses mouth. This article scared the $HIT out of me for years as a child. My mentally unbalanced, ultra spiritual witness mother believed this 'hook line and sinker'!
Read the entire article and you will see why there are so many 'crazy' Jehovahs Witnesses.

Publisher increase for 1974: 13.5%!!
Publisher increase for 1975: 9.7%!!
Publisher increase for 1976: 3.7%!!
Publisher decrease for 1977: -1%!!
Publisher decrease for 1978: -1.4%!!
The most significant growth in the history of Jehovahs Witnesses took place in the runup years to 1975. To all you lurking Witnesses and apologists: Do you really think that such growth was accomplished by 'a few over zealous' publishers that 'read too much into the 1975 date'?

My opinion is that collectively they probably average under 120. (Just an OPINION of course , like everyone posting here I have no evidence one way or another) It seems to me that they are trapped in what I like to call 'Watchtower Logic'. Since they live, work, emote and think in a 'closed system' they are never able to test their 'wild and wacky religious ideas' against any form of concrete reality. Only when time and concrete reality prove their idiotic prophesying and pontificating to be WRONG (Armageddon in 1914, Return of the prophets in 1925, Organ transplants are cannibalism, and on and on and on.......) will they capitulate and change their mind. "Stupid is as stupid does."
