Is this the earliest WT reference to 1975?
by Splash ini thought that the 1975 thing started in the mid to late 60's, but it seems the seeds were sown two decades earlier.is this the earliest reference to it?.
18 how many today are awake to the fact that the lord christ jesus, by his resurrection of the faithful bride members that slept in death, is taking his "bride" unto his father's house and the marriage of the lamb has begun' .... they do not say, 'it is a long time yet to the wind-up, and, according to the present understanding of bible chronology, six thousand years of human history will end first in the coming seventies and till then it is a long stretch to serve the lord continuously and undividedly.'.
... they keep their eye and heart on jehovah's kingdom, and not on the time clock.

It is interesting to me how often Watchtower "bible-based chronology" has had 100-year "patches" applied to it, as shown by this:
"In this chapter we present the Bible evidence which indicates that six thousand years from the creation of Adam were complete with A.D. 1872; and hence that, since A.D. 1872 are chronologically entered upon the seventh thousand or the Millennium." (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 2, p. 33, 1889)
Watchtower Time Patches come in sizes of 40 years, 50 years, and 100 years, to name a few. Collect 'em all!

GREAT CATCH! You are to be LAUDED!
I used to try to get some conversation going over the incontrovertible FACT that one of the books from the 1940s provided a "can you do the math" discussion which, if followed led directly to 1972 as the answer. No one seemed very interested in this topic.
Right now I can't recall the name of the book or the page this arithmetic exercise was on, but it should be somewhere in the archives here.
I agree that this is an important and noteworthy Watchtower quote.
A-HA! It was the 1943 book "The Truth Shall Set You Free" that had that challenging arithmetic exercise on

The latest JW Craziness: Theocratic Board Games

What makes them "Theocratic" is that everyone who plays loses.
On the other hand, I suppose some people will figure out that the time they spend PLAYING "House2House" is as effective, results-wise, as real-life "House 2 House."
"It's raining; why don't we put on a big pot of coffee and play "House2House" for a few hours? We can still count the time..."

Show up at the Kingdom Hall she attends and during the meeting stand up and say "[Girl's name], I LOVE YOU."
That will bring this pathetic and doomed romance to an appropriate end. You will then be able to get over it and move on with your life.

Dunedain said, "Being a parent myself, i find it mind boggling that parents would rather give their financial possesions to a multi-million dollar corporation..."
Uh... the WTB&TS brings in almost a BILLION dollars each year, so please re-write your post 1,000 times.

Phaedra --Maybe, if you're lucky, they will enjoy a long and enfeebling old age of continuously creeping decrepitude in which they'll wonder every day, "WHERE are our "brothers" and "sisters?" [by the All-Seeing Eye of Agamoto I CURSE THEM] while you live out the remainder of your life with nary a thought for those jerks who neglected their obligation and abandoned you.
A philosophical point: Baby Jesus might try to argue otherwise, but familial obligation flows in the same direction as TIME. It is PARENTS who have an obligation to the children they brought forth, not the other way around. Your children ought not be your SLAVES. Any late-life reciprocity from child to loving parent is from gratitude, NOT obligation.
