  1974 and all that

  i came across this footage recently whilst searching for something completely unrelated and it blew me away!.

  it's from the august 1974 convention at murrayfield, edinburgh and you can clearly see the stage set up still keeping the 6000 years and 1975 mantra going.. what makes this very personal for me is that i was here.

  I've watched the film and can see the numbers going up to 7000 on the front of the podium.
  What am l missing?

  Good question. As I recall, they were still teaching the chronology that 6000 years of man's existence, that is from the creation of Adam, was to end in 1975. The gentile times would end and usher in the next 1000 years (hence the '7000' on the platform) would be the Millenial reign. After that a perfect existence of eternity. The 7000 was the 7th creative day, and jived with the belief that each of the creative days was 7000 years long. All preposterous of course, but that is the chronology they inherited from the Russell days and still taught into the '70s.

  Cool, shame they wasted so much footage on the lame dramas. More views of the audence would have been more interesting, looking back at it 50 years later.

  I was at a convention in '74, don't recall where.

  Followup:

  The old Gilead building was apparently reused as the Lansing Residential Center, a sort of rehab facility for troubled youth (girls). The facility was shuttered in 2013 according to this article I found:

  https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/local/2013/05/29/new-york-state-to-close-two-juvenile-justice-centers-including-lansing/2369645/

  There is another complex of buildings very close by which is a secure prison. I'm not sure if the prison is on former WT land or if it just happens to be next door.

  What is Self-deception?

  by Kosonen in

  i googles about self-deception and found many articles about it.

  it is a thing reseachers in psychology have studied.. here is a quote from an article that describes it.

  and it is interesting because of so many ideas about how to understand the bible.

  I don't know the source, but this is one of my favorite quotations: "The more intelligent a person is, the more sophisticated he or she is in the art of self-deception"

  Well said,

  Economics, in the sense of control of limited resources, ends up controlling everything. It brought down the Soviet Union, something we never dreamed would happen back when I was in school. It causes wars, revolutions, unrest. Ultimately it will be the demographically driven economics which will force the WT to either change or they will collapse. I figure they will find a way to change to survive as a social organism.

  An attempt of a close up view of the word Gilead on the structure. I hope it is more visible. I find it interesting and humorous in a way that the present owners are OK with leaving it there.
