ok. so i'm sitting there at the convention.
the video comes up about 1975 and the fact that the faithful brother in the video maintained his faith in the bible by adhering to the scripture that says:.
'no one knows the day or the hour as to when the lord is coming'.
Tony, thanks for the clear citations, so, you were among the spiritual strong that did not take the then published data seriously.
Do you have problems with the spiritual strong that do not take the current wt hype, overlapping anointed, seriously today?
this is a nice article about archaeological finds, what caught my attention is the use of 586 bce as the date for the destruction of jerusalem.. according to biblical descriptions, in 586 bce, the babylonian king nebuchadnezzar vanquished the judaean king zedekiah and razed his capital city, jerusalem.
the babylonian captain of the guard nebuzaradan was dispatched into the city, where, as told in the book of jeremiah, he “burned the house of the lord, and the king’s house; and all the houses of jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire.”.

what a chore trying to shore up, support or suppress?
new system, brother, sister , kingdom hall, wordly person, in the truth .
there is a whole jw language that has to be deprogrammed..
"The Name" in prayer, Jesus did not. If you have to pray, to a possible creator the most truthful you can do is say "father" mother? life giver.

It's absolutely crazy for wt to bring up this failed prophecy,
Chook you would think so, but they did, so, why? because
WT knows that at the centennial, 2075, the overlapping anointed generation will turn out to be a failed prophecy too, assuredly, because it already has, no need to wait.
Following the logic in the 1975 video, the spiritual strong don't believe a word of wt's words.
this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.
feel free to add your own observations and experience.
the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.
it is not the pastor, nor company servant, or congregation servant, not even the presiding overseer, no, it is the Coordinator of the body of elders.
i have just seen the film "dunkirk".
do yourselves a big favour and go see it.
(not for kids).
Goering's name is actually Meier, He said " if an enemy plane reaches Berlin, my name will be "Meier" a common commoner's name. it stuck. stukas notwithstanding. He failed over Dunkirk and over germany.

before 1929, the President, King and Queen were the Superior Authorities, then it was that Jehovah and and Jesus (really the wt) were superior, the 1960s: ... surprise! it was the President and Queen again. up to now, but also Satan's agents ?

It is not an admission of doctrinal error, dismal bible study, it becomes:
"upon further consideration..."
It is not : We published error, it becomes:
"some brothers developed false expectations..."
wt "becomes" is unbecoming for a pillar supporting truth.

@ saename : good point. They believed the then anointed generation would not have to overlap, would be all raptured in 1914. WT could not admit, even to themselves, that the world had not ended in 1914, so they made it invisible, hence their 1918- 1922 talks: "The world has ended, millions now living will never die".
as Carl Sagan observed," the world had ended, but nobody noticed it--"
586? 607? ancient stuff, but the wt blunder are blatant and before us in their literature, "-- Proclaimers..." book

"Finds in Jerusalem shore.." and
I thought it was Jerusalem's beach, ancient curiosities, like amber, after global warming sea levels reach their peak.
