    .... there have been those in times past who predicted an "end to the world," even announcing a specific date.... Yet, nothing happened. The "end" did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying.

    i think it is indeed.

    considering the April 1 1972 Watchtower where they called themselves ''prophets''

    however, as we have seen, they wriggle out of that by saying

    Never have we said... 'Jehovah says'...in front of a prediction

    It actually really pisses me off that they say that!

    Just because they dont use those Magic words changes nothing

    but it works on the Dubs...

    Perhaps they were criticizing those in the organization who came before. They certainly admitted in places that they had been wrong.

    Uh, we didn't say that. It was some of our brothers moving ahead of the organization.

    BARF!

    One year later in 1969- Charlie Sinutko was telling JWs at a circuit convention to "stay alive until 1975".
