    I believe that 1919 is being emphasized to draw importance away from Russel's prophecy of 1914, and transfer legitimacy to Rutherford.

    Two years from now we may see the biggest ever 100th Birthday celebration.

    100 years since the appointment of the faithful & discreet slave.

    Wonder what's in the works for 2025, the centennial of the Millions campaign?

    And, remember, in the year 1919 when Jehovah God allegedly chose them, the dictatorial, organization-focused years under Rutherford's arrogant leadership still lay in the future, along with his crazy-minded writings about "millions now living will never die" and the resurrection of the "ancient worthies' on earth in 1925.

    Some choice, huh Jehovah?
