it means that within relatively few years we will witness the fulfillment of the remaining prophecies that have to do with the "time of the end.".
the lead article "the finest work on earth" in the october 1967 km (p. 1) continued the theme of preaching with a sense of urgency:.
the sense of urgency was effective in getting some students to make a decision.
Maybe if we remembered more of the stuff from 1975 it would not seem so long ago:
Abba were the top selling group in the UK.
"Jaws" was terrifying cinema audiences everywhere.
"Fawlty Towers" made its BBC debut.
The Vietnam conflict officially ceased.
Gerald Ford had already taken over from Nixon.
After 3 years out of the org, I bought a teal blue MGB Roadster.

Hi Mac,
You think that is unusual? Here in Weston super Mare the congregation were exhorted to thank Jehovah before having sex!
Englishman.
via "new light" of course.
would they truly follow it as scriptual bashing of evil ones forsaking their god jehovah, all this old light changing into new light makes one go hmmm........regards nojw
StiLLinTruth,
I thought that your personal comments were mean and petty.
I've also noticed that the pro - JW brigade never complete a user profile, not even a country is revealed.
What is it that you're all afraid of?
Englishman.
do you believe that someone learns from past...experience?.
there was a measure of disappointment on the part of jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1914, 1918, & 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time.... and they also learned to quit fixing dates.
(vindication i, 1938, p 338).
Tina,
Me too, I'm certainly marching to the beat of a different drum.
Englishman.

i thought the name of this thread was so on time for this thread demostrates one of the sad things about claiming to speak for god, when one actually does not.. when i was a newly appointed elder at the tender age of 27 .
i was introduced to the world of the judical committee.. it was in fact my first case.
i had gotten a call from the po before the meeting stating that their would be an elders meetings to discuss some judical matters.

JT, wow, what a stunning story, as for the lassie walking out I say Well done!
Kimberley, I did't feel that JT was being particularly bigoted, he seemed to be saying that it was a novelty for this guy to be turned on by a pretty ladies sex revelations because he (the elder) was esconced with a physically unattractive female. The bit about the colour was just detail, there are an equal number of unattractive white females I'm sure.
