100 years: Rutherford and seven other Watch Tower executives were imprisoned in 1918 after charges were laid over the publication of The Finished Mystery, a book deemed seditious for its opposition to World War I.
A public talk titled "The World Has Ended; Millions Now Living May Never Die" was first delivered on February 24, 1918 in Los Angeles, California. Five weeks later, on March 31, 1918 the title was changed to indicate absolute certainty:
The World Has Ended; Millions Now Living Will Never Die."
The public talk continued to be delivered under that same title until 1925. The material was published as this book in 1920. This book may be of interest to students of human psychology and students of religious movements, particularly millennialist apocalyptic, "prophetic" religious movements."

1918 was the begin of a new epoche of biblestudents. They were urged to preach with the focus on the "millions now living will never die" talk and the earthly resurrection of OT heroes. This teaching only stopped 1925.
