as we all know, armageddon was just around the corner in 1974. at the district conventions that year, it was announced that there would be two special meetings during the month of september; one would be for interested people (e.g., bible studies, family members, inactive, etc.
), and the other would be for baptized publishers.
these were to be held in place of the service meetings for the two weeks, iirc.
I remember preaching with my dad (I respect him very much) and his favorite was explaining 1914 to the housholder. With the 2520 years construction and the then current sign of the times. and the then current generation teaching. What a mess it is, looking back. We were fooled and tricked.

When it look likes fraud, it smells like fraud and it makes sound as fraud, you can fill in what it is.

just want to share my take on the new circuit overseers visit.
first impression, he's a control freak.
he got up several times to correct the servants on lights, sound and speaker stand positioning.
They could be great Nazi's in the last century, with their Hierarchy acting.
I know some CO personally. They are not all stupid. Some are even pretty to talk with, to eat and drink with.
That was the same with Nazi's. Some were very friendly and charming. That was not the problem.
Their absolute Hierarchy and organizational loyalty is the danger.

last night, during our "christian life and ministry" meeting, we had a session on local needs.
elder opened the talk with a disclaimer saying that this was a reminder (cited psalms about how david loved jehovahs reminders).
he reminded us of how bless we are of having our own local assembly hall.
