What happens in 2014, do they drop 1914 ?
No dropping 1914 yet. I have posted this before. I still feel the same.
They are currently going to say that the GB can feel/taste/sense that the end
really is imminent. After a couple of years, they will have to switch tactics.
They will try to minimize the 2014 anniversary mark (100 years for those that
aren't following) of Jesus' invisible presence BY LOOKING PAST IT.
They will heavily start to promote the 120 years that God decided to give Man
before bringing about the flood. That takes them to 2034. Most GB members
will be dead, or the few younger ones will be helpless old men, by 2034. They
can live with being wrong by the time it arrives and (same as the past) nothing
happens.
JW doctrine requires a "Chicken Little" attitude. 1914 will be dropped a few
years after 2034. First they will have to say "The 120 years are approximate."
"The 120 years didn't start until Jesus' inspection of the world's religions in 1919,
so that gives us a few more years."
Finally, the monthly Watchtower (consisting of the Kingdom Ministry and 4 study
articles with no color, and no art) will say "We regret to inform the 3 million JW's
who remained faithful, that the others ran ahead of the organization with a
misunderstanding of what we really said. We only thought it was an interesting
possibility that our 'last days' would be of the same length as the 'last days' before
the flood."
I love these speculative threads. You should all try this.
