@ trthskr, the Revelation Climax book is not recent. That came out when I was a kid and I'm in my 30's now. It wasn't even EDITED recently (that happened in my 20's). We're talking about a Watchtower, Awake, etc that says that same point. Guaranteed you will not find it.
We here keep up with what's going on inside the Watchtower...some of us more than JW's do. We get our magazines before they do, we pick them apart and find the falacies and double-speak. Trust me, it's there.
I was an active JW, born and raised, married to one, all of my immediate family and in-laws were JW's. I was surrounded by it. Many religions claim to be the ONLY TRUE religion... But when you look closer, not only at their doctrine, but at the stuff they don't want you to look at (pedophile lawsuits, etc), you see they couldn't possibly be the true religion.
Let me ask you something. Why does there have to be a true "religion"? Why can't one worship god on their own? Have you researched the bible and it's history? Have you read other books that were found with the books of the bible, but discarded and excluded from the bible canon?
Many JW's will say "Well, we're the ONLY ONES who go door to door!". No. They are not. The Mormons do as well. So do other Christian denominations. Did you know that Jesus did NOT teach that his followers were to go door to door? In fact, he said the opposite. He said "Do not be transferring from house to house".
The hype about 1975 DID happen. It wasn't a rumor started by one person that "got out of hand". It was printed in Watchtowers, people were praised for selling their homes and belongings in order to spend more time in the door to door work. Someone on this thread has posted the mp3 of the talk given at an assembly that specifically stated that 1975 was THE year. You cannot refute facts. You can refute opinions, you can debate them, you can prove them wrong. But facts and truth will ALWAYS remain the same.
