I wonder how many Russian "brothers" gave a huge sigh of relief that the Russian Government banned the Watchtower?
They can now be free Russians again.

And Dreary, I will steal from your quote.
...the Bible Students spent decades pointing out that the year 1914 would be significant in fulfilling Bible prophecy.
I won't re-paste the link.
Yes Dreary, they spent decades, and they pointed to 1914, Dreary.
But the Watchtower was clear that 1914 was going to be ARMAGEDDON.
Is ARMAGEDDON "significant" ...? (see your quote again)
Sure. I bet it is. So I guess you are completely correct. And I am sure that all the brothers in the halls, when they read that the year 1914 was going to be significant in the eyes of the Bible Students, they completely understood that CT Russell was preaching a 1914 ARMAGEDDON doctrine. LOL LOL
And you want us to take you seriously.
And why was 1914 significant? The Governing Body wasn't even appointed (anymore) in 1914. It was 1919 in the latest dogma.

Yes DREARY... we know how it's written and why. I think that most of us here have gathered, over the years, that Watchtower writes everything with a back door.
If it came to a day in court, the Watchtower would say, "well... the first part of the sentence is true... in its own right. And the second part is also true... in its own right."
The point is, it was compiled, on purpose, to give the impression to the reader that "The Watchtower has consistently presented..."
That's why I followed up with the Awake of 1973 quote (which I got from JWFACTS).
The intent, on the part of the Watchtower writers, was to make JWs in the Kingdom Halls BELIEVE that they should put faith in The WTBTS as it is "consistent".
If, when the study was taking place, you answered the question on this paragraph, and you added that fact, that indeed 1874 was the date... perhaps like this.
He discerned that Christ would return invisibly in 1874 and that “the appointed times of the nations” would end 40 years later in 1914.
I would love to have been there when you said that. It would have been golden. As the elders were disfellowshipping you in the back room, taking a strip off you for your spiritual potty mouth and for "disturbing the peace in the congregation" I would have come to you and asked, hey Dreary, what's the matter now? LOL
When you defend the indefensible on here, you open yourself up for all kinds of abuse.
You are a Watchtower troll. We see you.

Well, we all know that it's not a "slip up", it is quite intentional.
What Watchtower said
prior to 1914What Watchtower claims it said
prior to 1914"The year A.D. 1878 … clearly marks the time for the actual assuming of power as King of kings, by our present, spiritual, invisible Lord - …" The Time is At Hand (1911 ed) p.239 "The Watchtower has consistently presented evidence to honesthearted students of Bible prophecy that Jesus’ presence in heavenly Kingdom power began in 1914." Watchtower1993 Jan 15 p.5 "But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble. Zion's Watch Tower 1894 Jul 15 p.226 "Jehovah's witnesses pointed to the year 1914, decades in advance, as marking the start of "the conclusion of the system of things." Awake! 1973 Jan 22 p.8 -

The Catholic Church protecting the Watchtower! GASP
How about this one, the Watchtower protecting Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.
Remember that one? LOL
The Church is only looking out for its own interests. The Watchtower and other smaller fish are like a buffer zone around them. Once the small fish get eaten, what's left?
No, you cannot take anything from this. The Church, and Watchtower are both self-serving, today, yesterday and tomorrow.
