Suavojr,
They did the same thing with the date 1872. The same message for 1872 was regurgitated for 1975.

Found this interesting article in the March 15, 1919 Jacksonville Florida Times Union.
"BIBLE SUPPRESSED WILL
BE LECTURER'S SUBJECT
"J.A. Bohnet, of Pittsburgh, a direc-
tor and traveling respresentative of
the International Bible Students' As-
sociation, will speak Sunday after-
noon at ? o'clock in the Woman's club
auditorium, 1? East Duval street, on
the fulfillment of the prophecy in the
eleventh chapter of the Book of Reve-
lation; his advertised topic being The
Bible Suppressed.
The Bible students it is said inter-
pret that Rev. x1 relates to the French
revolution of a little more than 100
years ago and was a picture or type
of the greater world disturbances, war
and revolution which society is now
experiencing.
The speaker it is promised will make
some interesting parallels of the
Fench revolution and the present.
As usual the lecture is free and the
public cordially invited."
As late as 1927 the Creation book was still claiming that 1799 was the BEGINNING of "the time of the end."
See http://www.quotes-watchtower.co.uk/1799.html
It's amazing to me the amount of time JW's have misspent in the dating game.
Even till this day they have never come to grips with Jesus' admonition at Acts 1:7 "It does not belong to YOU to get
knowledge of the times or seasons which the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction."

The Complete Scammer's Guide - by "Pastor" Russell (New Light!)
by Focus inmost of us are reasonably familiar with reports of scandalous goings-on of that old jellyfish lecher, the founder of the watchtower cult, the one and only charles taze russell.. but, are these stories true?.
this thread is going to be devoted to his allegedly scurrilous activities.
so, bookmark it, please, bro' focus is in possession of noo light, and we're going to explore russell like you've never seen him explored before.. we're approaching his 100th death anniversary, and for all i know this virtual exhumation may lead to a real one.

Rosemount United Cemetery is located in Allegheny, Pa. This is where Charles Taze Russell is buried. See
http://www.freeminds.org/history/cemetary.htm
There is a Masonic cemetery across the road, which has no connection to Rosemount. The Cross and the Crown on the pyramid structure was a religious emblem of the time used by other groups of the times besides the Bible Students. Those motifs can be seen in other cemeteries elsewhere and on graves of people who were not Bible Students. (Cross & Crown came to be debunked). The pyramid was thought by Russell and the Bible Students to be God's stone witness corroborating Biblical time periods (Isa. 19:19). This belief was later debunked by Rutherford et al in 1928.

whether the Jewish or SDA Saturday, or Sunday, the Pope has a point
by nonjwspouse ini keep liking what i hear from this pontiff.
he lamentes not keeping a day of no work to spend with the family.. .
campobasso, italy (ap) pope francis has lamented the abandoning of the traditionally christian practice of not working on sundays, saying it has a negative impact on families and friendships....... at one point, the pope, speaking off the cuff, encouraged parents to spend more time with children.

I think everyone should have a rest day. Big business doesn't think so. It sees everyday as $ day. I make it a point not to shop on Sunday--and to rest. But, most workers don't have that choice.

A precious gift to all from Jehovah (channelled via Focus)
by Focus insome souls here may feel i was a little harsh.
if so, i am deeply sorry.
i was abused by a handful right from the start, presumably on the basis of the avatar picture (and 2001 vintage).. when visiting dubland, i often find that others start fights with me - for whatever reason, and i provide quite a supply of them - and when it doesn't quite go the way they expected, they cry persecution.

Stealth,
I just saw recently at http://www.topix.net/forum/religion/jehovahs-witness/ someone who posted there as AlanMF. He is responding to Thirdwitness on a topic entitled "Evidence indicating Egypt's 40 Year Desolation." The title of this topic is approaching the end of the page you will be linked to. Click "Evidence, etc." Alan's response is on page 3. He has made some 3,800 posts or so at topix. I presume this is the same Alan F.

IC 2014 talk: "A Century of Kingdom Rule Contrasted With a Century of Satans Rule"
by AnnOMaly ina discussion of this talk on friday morning deserves its own thread.
as i said elsewhere, it was a remarkable one.
the speaker was manfred vencebi (google him - he's a bethel bigwig) and some of his remarks are real gems.

When you get to that page click on "Search for The Time Is At Hand." According to Russell, in the Foreward, inventions meant that the Millennium had BEGUN in 1873!

So, because there are abuses in technology, it is not a good way to measure progress? Compare that to what Charles Taze Russell, the founder of their Watchtower magazine and Society, had to say about inventions. He claimed they pointed to the Seventh Day or Millennium! LOL Read the foreward of "The Times Is At Hand."

Neither the term "Watch Tower" nor the name "Jehovah's witnesses" come from Jehovah's Witnesses
by Kenneson inthe term "watch tower" originated with the second adventists and was a carry over by charles taze russell to his own religious periodical and society.
even the proclaimers book admits as much.
in the footnote we read: "the expression 'watch tower' is not unique to russell's writings or to jehovah's witnesses.

That is correct. It's called "The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages."

Actually Ironside belonged to the Plymouth Brethren, which in many respects are similar to Jehovah's Witnesses. They were
founded by J. Nelson Darby in 1829.
