Here's a puzzling set of numbers I found in the Jan 15 issue of WT. You will see scans of the election results for society's officers. I took the few minutes to tally the numbers of voters to the sum of 1,142,980.
Here's where my ignorance shines through. I thought WT membership was in the realm of some 25,000 to 50,000 at that time. Therefore, that sum of more than one million who voted for the officers appears strange. Any thoughts?

Two quotes within that video I would like to source.
Referring to 1925:
1. "fixed date beyond doubt"
2. "he had made with god himself"
I've googled these phrases and can find nothing but paraphrased references.

Hey, Paul Grundy (JWFacts), that was an excellent video on 1925, Million's ...

I almost forgot, it was 1917 when they launched the Millions campaign so it's not surprising to find a reference to it in the first issue of 1918. Note, however, that they only used "may" never -- not the "will" never modifier -- like the title of the infamous book / booklet.

do you believe that the king of glory is present, and has been since 1874?… this is the day of all days.
behold, the king reigns!
Hey, Vanderhoven7:
h. Do you know why JWs were adding rooms onto their homes in the early 1920s? (because in 1926 they could call Abraham in Jerusalem and ask him to raise grandma)
What's the source for that one?
the oldest reference i can find is 2012, as follows:.
"think of that if you are ever tempted to violate god’s command not to associate with your disfellowshipped relatives.
" the watchtower 2012, 4/15/ p. 12 par.
You are right, Wild_Thing. I think I found it.
"The second situation that we need to consider is that involving a disfellowshiped or disassociated relative who is not in the immediate family circle or living at one’s home. Such a person is still related by blood or marriage, and so there may be some limited need to care for necessary family matters. Nonetheless, it is not as if he were living in the same home where contact and conversation could not be avoided. We should keep clearly in mind the Bible’s inspired direction: "Quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person . . . , not even eating with such a man." -- 1 Cor. 5:11. The Watchtower, 1981, 9/15 p. 29 par. 18Of course, they got their team of lawyers involved, making sure they didn't cross legal boundaries that would have been impossible to navigate in today's society, "necessary family matters".
