Here's a little poem that Linda and I put together last night about the prophetic
failures of the watchtower. Linda had the idea, and I did most of the writing, so I
thought I'd post it for your amusement
1914 was when Charlie thought
That the battle of armageddon would be fought
So with great expectation he approached that year
But in 1915 the world was still here
Charlie died, and the judge came along
And he was singing the same old song
This time it would be 1925, he said
When all the ungodly would be dead
But as before, 1926 arrived
And all the ungodly seemed to have survived
Within a few years boozer Joe was no more
And the new man at the top was Nathan KnorrOne of his ideas for the organisation
Was the writing of the new world translation
He spoke of man's 6000 years on earth
And pushed 1975 for all it was worth
When 1976 came, and still no paradise
The watchtower didn't apologise
They said 1914 was now the important date
And those that remembered it now knew their fate
For their generation would by no means die out
Before the promised paradise came about
But all that changed in 1995
When many of the generation were no longer alive
The teaching on the anointed was clear
Their gathering had been completed for over 70 years
Until new light flashed in 2007
And once more opened the door to heaven
Since the 1870's for year after year
The watchtower has said that the end is so near
But not one of their prophecies came true
They should say they're sorry, but they never do
For when anything goes wrong, they always say the same
It's never their fault, it's the brothers to blame
