Although it would take much more time and articles, the idea would be to do
something along these lines:
Stop printing the 1914 date or the 1918-19 dates. No references to 607 BCE in
new stuff for awhile. Come out with some new stuff like this:
At one time, the Watchtower did not have a Governing Body. Jehovah's spirit
guided the organization primarily through the first few presidents of the WTS.
These were imperfect men who made mistakes. For instance, they assumed the
door to the anointed had closed in 1935 or so because of the presence of a great
crowd. It is now apparent that the door was not closed.
Jehovah's spirit operated through the Governing Body, but did not reveal things
to them until the spiritual food was able to be digested by the anointed and the
other sheep. Allowing us to go on with some mistaken notions of Brother Russell,
Rutherford, Knorr, and Franz, many made the proclaiming of the Good News the
most important part of their lives. If they thought the end would not come in their
lifetimes, perhaps many colporters and pioneers would have been less diligent in
their assignment and been led off to worldly thinking.
It now becomes apparent that there is much more work to be done. Secular history
has verified that (an entire 4 articles would be used here) some calculations about
607 BCE and it's significance have been slightly off. The Governing Body has been
guided by Jehovah to understand that we are to go back into the field because the
day and time of Armageddon is still not known, but it is just as urgent now as it was
in the first century to aid mankind to know the Good News.
This is not reason for disappointment. As the day draws nearer and our understanding
gets clearer, we rejoice. BLAH BLAH BLAH- Same old same old.
