Soft&gentle ...**** sorry pterist - I ought to have said predicting to pinpoint 1914 by their calculations. And I agree that what Russell and others made of their predictions failed to happen.***
I guess thats why the New light kicks Russel out of his own organisation and corporation as the FDS...however, 1914 / 1919 is still their foundation, when the r&f realize this, the source of the GB's claim to the awesome authority as the ONLY CHANNEL is very questionable.
Shalom in Christ

Jeffro ** The period of the "seven Sabbaths of years" for which the land rested also fits the period from 587BCE until the Jews returned in 538BCE.**
I belive we are on the same page in this respect.

The only significant thing that happened in 1914 was the Singer 66-1 red eye sewing machine and the first world war. Christians who held to a POST-Millinium eschatology review their thinking.

Ucantnome *** The generation that was cognizant of world events in 1914 is all dead. I think there are still some left ***
And this qualifies Jesus words ..." this generation will BY NO MEANS pass away" ...come on if they were of accountable age they would be almost 120 years old now. I'm sure there are a few...but "BY NO MEANS pass away ....Get real

Soft&gentle *** i have a theory (a rational one) about how people (not just JWs) who were predicting 1914 could have made a prediction that came true.***
What came true ?
The WTS was preaching that Jesus was invisibly present in 1984 and that 1914 would END this system of things .....so what exactly came true ????

The priestly writers place a special emphasis on the Sabbath, beginning in Genesis 2:2-3, and continuing through Exodus into the book of Leviticus. In the list of "appointed festivals" and "holy convocations" in chapter 23, the weekly Sabbath takes first place. The Israelites are to work for six days, but the seventh day is to be "a sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation" (23:3; see also 26:2). In chapter 25, even the land is granted a Sabbath rest. Every seventh year, the land is to lie fallow. No sowing of fields or pruning of vineyards is allowed in this Sabbath year. Echoing the commandment in chapter 23, it is to be "a sabbath of complete rest for the land, a sabbath for the LORD" (25:4). The Israelites, their servants, their livestock, and even the wild animals are allowed to eat what the land produces of itself in that Sabbath year, as well as what they have stored from the sixth year, and the promise is that there will be enough food for all (see 25:20-22).
The text goes on to speak of what could be called a Sabbath of Sabbaths. The Year of Jubilee is set by counting off "seven Sabbaths of years," or seven times seven years. The fiftieth year, then, is to be the Year of Jubilee (25:8-10). It is proclaimed with the blowing of the ram's horn on the Day of Atonement, the tenth day of the seventh month.
The Year of Jubilee is a time of Sabbath rest, a time of homecoming, and a time of liberation. The land is to lie fallow, as it does in the Sabbath year. Each Israelite is to return to his ancestral land and to his clan. Debts are to be forgiven, Israelite slaves are to be set free, and land is to be returned to its proper owners. In other words, if a person falls on hard times and is forced to sell his land or himself to pay off debts, the sale is not permanent. Both land and people are set free in the Year of Jubilee.

Cantleave ...*** What does any of this matter? 1914 is nearly 100 years ago. The generation that was cognizant of world events in 1914 is all dead. *****
Exactly, sow a false prophesy, reap the bad results...
If it were some pastor, he would be embarrassed and would apologize.
In the WTS case they can't because it's their whole foundation of existence and justification in being the only channel, if the dates are wrong, they can't be just another sect, can they ???, They are way too arrogant for that !!!
