Jan, sorry to unintentionally have hijacked your thread, but wt printed 1975 in connection with the 1000 years. beginning, and Fm and I are quivelling about the end.
Fisherman, . may be wt is thinking of the light at the end of the tunnel, I am thinking of the 25 foot mark at the end of a measuring tape.
just a quirky expression of one of their past writers that they dare not abandon. They have to tread carefully, they never know what can of worms the ramifications in their story will lead to.

Need to look at the base text
Fm: The base text mentions that the nations are already in the 4 corners of the Earth "whenever" (interlinear) "otav" the 1000 years are ended, and "satan" is released. so,
come 3075 + hat makes it either a square disk or a 3 sided pyramid. where the perfect nations will be after a millenium under wt control.
Wt writer's careful wording is usually not a question of the base text, but their hidden agenda.

final test with perfect humans just like with perfect Adam and Eve. —That has always been the teaching.
Fm: correct, but are wt writers trying to gaslight the r&f by insisting again and again to say the test happens "at the end" and not after? are there factions that push an before the "4 corners of the earth" agenda?
i find it astonishing that humanlike feet could have existed that long ago.
i wonder if some non-human upright ape might have had that kind of feet that long ago.

how about the fossilized footprints in the New Mexico sediment? ? https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/fossil-footprints-challenge-theory-when-people-first-arrived-americas
3 times older than the 7000 year wt's A&E story, no wonder 1975 was wrong, without welcoming these new world wanderers.

it was stated that 1975 was the end of 6000 years of human history
R 350, and the sentence in the book finished: it therefore appropriate that the 1000 year would begin in that year.
That is a different issue to be dealt with because the Messianic Kingdom and the Millennium only address the consequences of the sin of Adam and Eve.
FM: Wt keeps harping on the sovereignty issue, and that is what they want the armageddon repeat mess cleared up during their (7X7) days senario, during the rest day too 6X1 =7 . That is why in wt literature the final test happens "at the end of the 1000 years" not after the count past 1000 is ended.
If you look at the jubilee year cycle, there is of course year 50, after the 49th year, 7x7 is finished.
my in-laws are two such people.
people who pioneered and did not work and try to save, instead they made just enough to get by and waited for the end to come.
now my mil is in palliative care and the state is paying for her keep, my fil lives in a dilapidated home and can not keep it up.
pp, These kids, could not go to university, because their father would have lost their elder positions. They are now in good paying trades, with the measly, wt scripted spirituality as MSs, and junior "elders"
LGH, good observation, only one or too of The Great Generation were true, no holds barred committed believers and are in poverty, many others are in above average wealth.

If I recall, JW teaching in the yellow Kingdom of 1000 years book published in the 1970s,
F: but consistently wt has still, within the last year used their hackneyed phrase " at the end of the thousand years". which reflects their wishful thinking that after the 7000/1000 years are ended, there will no more mess to be dealt with.
the talking snake would be highly displeased.

Creative Sabbath would fit perfectly in time to fulfill God’s purpose for humanity: 6000+1000=7000
F: wt still clings to that fixed time frame. They still, in recent writings refused to admit that the final test, destruction in the lake of fire will occur in the post-millennium period. In the projected wt land, it still al happens "at the end of the 1000 year rule" . not after. as the scriptures specify.
so janet yellen, the us treasury secretary, thinks taxing unrealized capital gains would be a way for them to fund their runaway spending.. first, they claimed that the real cost of their nonsense spending was $0, so they were lying then or are lying now ("why not both?!").
second, they claimed that money printing doesn't affect inflation, so why not just print the money instead?.
third, the "for billionaires" is to get the feeble minded masses on board, those that live on benefits and vote democrat for more "free money", but the irs monitoring of $600 bank accounts is also apparently to target the ultra-wealthy as well.
and is this done every year?
you're doing everything you can, meeting attendance, field circus, helping out where you can and you are told your not progressing!?!
as anyone had that happen to them in the "trooth "?.
not kowtowing to the bullish elders enough? nose not enough to the grinding wheel or other brown places?
