I was reading some of the assembly threads - on food service (gone), seating (practically assigned - if just to clean the area), walking around is condemned (it was practically a tradition in my day), motels assigned by list, food on outside or brought inside under control, dress and name tags under control, etc. etc. etc. I would not know an assembly now, last one being in 1977 or 1978 for me. But - isn't this kind of change a perennial thing for them, at least every 25 years or so?
1900 - CTR is the faithful slave. End will come in 1914, 1874 was just symbolic coming.
1925 - Rutherford is defacto faithful slave. CTR somewhat discredited - most weird diet & medicine stuff on way out. All witnesses are annointed. Congregations about to be assimilated, if you follow much of CTR, you are "evil slave class". BTW, this is also the year the end is coming. 1914 was an invisible presence.
1950 - Well, Rutherford was a hopeless old drunk, but we don't talk about it much. Almost all witnesses are now Great Crowd. Vaccinations are wrong, blood transfusions kind of OK, but this will change momentarily. Knorr & Franz leading us into the great advancement of the truth - our Golden Age of Business. End is close but no date set just now.
1975 - OK. This one really is the date. The end of 6000 years of mans time on earth. The beginning of the 1000 year rule of Christ. BTW, blood is now totally verboten, Vaccinations are OK, and Tobacco products are demonism in dried leaf form.
2000 - Well. That "Generation" stuff we told you about didn't mean that. We were an NGO for a while, but only to use the library at the U.N. Governing Body is now all powerful, we will control all thoughts from our central control position. On blood, fractions may be OK, maybe not. College degree may be OK, maybe not...forget food at assemblies - too much trouble in these last days. Knorr age of business printing at end - we don't sell food or magazines any more.
2025 - ?
