New Date for Armageddon - 2015 (page 2)

Kismet

you can go from 1914 plus 40 years to approx 1935 (helloooo great crowd!!) and from there to 1975 (hellooo 6000 years of man's existence) it's only a hop-skip and a jump to 2015! -ish

Umm 1914 + 40 years would bring you to 1954 1954 + 40 = 1994 1994 + 40 = 2034 Still can't quite figure out where 1975 or 2015 comes into the picture

With all the 'math' JW's find in the Bible, how long is it gonna be before they announce a new "Theocratic Math School"?

That'd have some interesting 'counsel' points, eh? Explain how we blew it with 1799, 1874,1878, how we 'saved' ourselves on 1914, why 'millions aren't still living' since 1925, how we never really said anything about 1975,etc...

have I left any out?

@ joeshmoe:

LOL that is very true! however i have the impression they unfortunately gave up on precise predictions. no more king of the north nonsense, no more armageddon dates...really sad that...makes the whole thing less fun.

In 1919 the JWs (then known as Bible Students) supposedly received their preaching commission

Noah was given 120 years to preach and build the ark before the flood would sweep away humankind.

1919

plus

120 equals

2039 AD for the end to come.

(Just kidding)

You're right Realist. It's so much easier to be vague (but I still think they can't resist!).

"...1914 plus 40 years to approx 1935..."

I think poor Dawn is another 'victim' of 'home schooling' - the JW way.

<sigh>

As the numbers of the Dubs start to decline they will be forced to try what has been successful for them in the past , that is using scare tactics. Most Jdubs now, came in after the 1975 scare, so they will be "ripe for the picking". They will have them urgently out their preaching because the time is so short. It is funny because today i heard a Dub admitting of the past mistakes of the WTS making predictions.
