1975 was not a "TEACHING"
it WAS A MENTION OF SOMETHING THAT COULD HAPPEN.
The ones that listened to Jesus in his word 1975 simply did not matter, no body knows the date of the end.

sebastious,
You forget that those young people turn in to older adults, you can consider it a sales pitch, but at that time it was thought that the generation that saw the beginning of the end wld not pass until the end wld come, this was the generation of 1914. We hope to never grow old end die
“I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all.”—JOHN 11:25, 26.

What is the 'Truth' or 'good news/gospel' of the Jehovah's Witnesses?
If it is different than what the Apostle was speaking, how did they come to that 'light'?

The Witnesses had long shared the belief that the Thousand Year Reign of Christ would follow after 6,000 years of human history. But when would 6,000 years of human existence end? The book Life Everlasting—In Freedom of the Sons of God, released at a series of district conventions held in 1966, pointed to 1975. Right at the convention, as the brothers examined the contents, the new book triggered much discussion about 1975.
At the convention held in Baltimore, Maryland, F. W. Franz gave the concluding talk. He began by saying: “Just before I got on the platform a young man came to me and said, ‘Say, what does this 1975 mean?’” Brother Franz then referred to the many questions that had arisen as to whether the material in the new book meant that by 1975 Armageddon would be finished, and Satan would be bound. He stated, in essence: ‘It could. But we are not saying. All things are possible with God. But we are not saying. And don’t any of you be specific in saying anything that is going to happen between now and 1975. But the big point of it all is this, dear friends: Time is short. Time is running out, no question about that.’
In the years following 1966, many of Jehovah’s Witnesses acted in harmony with the spirit of that counsel. However, other statements were published on this subject, and some were likely more definite than advisable. This was acknowledged in The Watchtower of March 15, 1980 (page 17). But Jehovah’s Witnesses were also cautioned to concentrate mainly on doing Jehovah’s will and not to be swept up by dates and expectations of an early salvation

In modern times such eagerness, commendable in itself, has led to attempts at setting dates for the desired liberation from the suffering and troubles that are the lot of persons throughout the earth. With the appearance of the book Life Everlasting—in Freedom of the Sons of God, and its comments as to how appropriate it would be for the millennial reign of Christ to parallel the seventh millennium of man’s existence, considerable expectation was aroused regarding the year 1975. There were statements made then, and thereafter, stressing that this was only a possibility. Unfortunately, however, along with such cautionary information, there were other statements published that implied that such realization of hopes by that year was more of a probability than a mere possibility. It is to be regretted that these latter statements apparently overshadowed the cautionary ones and contributed to a buildup of the expectation already initiated.
In its issue of July 15, 1976, The Watchtower, commenting on the inadvisability of setting our sights on a certain date, stated: “If anyone has been disappointed through not following this line of thought, he should now concentrate on adjusting his viewpoint, seeing that it was not the word of God that failed or deceived him and brought disappointment, but that his own understanding was based on wrong premises.” In saying “anyone,” The Watchtower included all disappointed ones of Jehovah’s Witnesses, hence including persons having to do with the publication of the information that contributed to the buildup of hopes centered on that date.

OUTLAW,
Jesus is in full control, His God has given him all authority in heaven and earth,
that is according to my bible and what I have learned from the Witnesses, if you think I shot my self in the
"foot" (let's clean it up)...........
¿What relationship does waiting on Jehovah God have with weather Jesus is in control or not?

THEFINGER,
Jehovah witnesses and the WATCHTOWER, have never claimed to be recipients of new prophecy, The witnesses work with what is written there
THe problem with 1975 was that it was an article in awake and people got carried away with it but the watchtower never
Wrote that Armageddon wld come in that year. Just too much information that caused people lots of grief, people are desperate for a change, especially those who respond to the message of Christ and His kingdom.
Focusing on the wrong thing, we have lots of people that need bible studies, in the preaching work here where I live , they stop us on the street and ask for the latest mags and a bible study

If someone got kicked out it was not for following the bible, it seems to me it was not necessary to kick people out they left, they left because their goal was not the kingdom and God's sovereignty, people were looking to the future, to a world much different than this, people got exited, But against ones that sat quietly and read their biblical knew that all this wld bow over.

Sebastious, Rebellion is black and white, yr either with us or against us
30 He that is not on my side is against me, and he that does not gather with me scatters.
Mat 12:30
If you are at work and rebel against the boss yr gone, this applies to all groups, they are formed for people w something in common, if you disagree with the group you no longer have something in common with the group, you will either try to change it or accept it as it is no other choice
