1874
The start of Christ's invisible presence. Russell's most important date. Three Worlds p175, SiS2 p170, Our Lord's Return p27, Proclaimers p133 footnote. Until around 1904, Russell taught that this year marked the start of the Battle of Armageddon, WT 1/15/92 p21-3 [repr p1355]. SiS2, p101.
Abandoned in 1930; [Note 2] WTS itself claims it was abandoned in 1943

Hi Jan!  I love your list but how could you miss the references that says that 1874 was the invisible second coming of Christ?  This was a major date for focus for the WTS!  Furthermore, you missed the actual CHRONOLOGY behind this date, that is, it's reference to the fulfillment of the "1335 days"!!  I think that's critical, don't you?  I mean what they attach to the date after the fact is another thing, but where they came up with the date in the first place is very important.

If you can get ahold of the 1927 publication (can you believe it? as late as 1927?) called: "The Harp of God" I think (I'll check it out further) it discusses this chronology.  But 1874 is based upon the 1335 years since the establishment of the Catholic Church...that's where 1874 comes from based upon Bible chronology. 

I'm really not sure, in fact, about the name of the book, it might not be "Harp of God" but I'll recognize it if I look up some of the older publications and I'll try to find the references for you so you can add this and the reference to 1925 being related to 3500 years of 70 jubilees.  If you were not aware of these references then I'm glad I was able to bring them to your attention.  In fact, I KNOW it is not the "Harp of God" but another one.  I don't have a copy available to me.  But I'll get the title and you can look it up, or maybe it's posted on the net.  I'm sure the list old publications on the net and I'll get the title for you!!

Thanks so much!
