DATE-SETTING WATCHTOWER SAYS "WE NEVER PREDICTED THAT!"  OH, REALLY!  THEN EXPLAIN THE PUBLISHED STATEMENTS: http://www.imagger.com/view/559858_1969_Awake!_May_22_pg._15.jpg.html http://perimeno.ca/1975_&_Life_Everlasting_Book.htm http://www.imagger.com/view/639500_1968_October_Awake_8th_1975_related.jpg.html http://www.imagger.com/view/422878_1975_Mosiac.jpg.html

Jeremiah 14:14 says "Then the LORD said to me, 'The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.'"

FORMER WATCHTOWER HEAD FREDERICK FRANZ CAUGHT ON TAPE TRICKILY MISPREDICTING 1975 FOR "ARMAGEDDON" AND YET "WITHOUT SAYING" IT OUTRIGHT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqGRgKSS64A&feature=autofb Saying without saying -- just one of the Theocratic War tactics used by Watchtower including on its own rank-and-file

Jeremiah 28: 15-17 says “And Jeremiah the prophet went on to say to Hananiah the prophet: "Listen, please, oh Hananiah! Jehovah has not sent you, but you yourself have caused this people to trust in a falsehood.  Therefore this is what Jehovah has said, ' Look! I am sending you away from off the surface of the ground.  This year you yourself must die, for you have spoken outright against Jehovah.' "   So Hananiah the prophet died in that year, in the seventh month.”

AWAKE! MAGAZINE'S FALSE PREDICTION (How many young lives did this one ruin!) "If you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.... all evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... as a young person you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way toward its finish, if not actually gone"! Awake! issue of May 22, 1969 on page 15, published by Watchtower Bible & Tract Society over Jehovah's Witnesses.  Christ, at Matthew 24:36, says of the end of the world system of things: "But as to that day and the exact time no one knows--not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."  And yet time and again, especially so for 1975, Watchtower has deliberately misprophesied dates, both specific and sometimes more vaguely, for the end.  To see and hear what people who lived through the 1975 failed prophecy testify about it,  simply click the link:

"At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appearand perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect—if that were possible. So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time." (Mr 13:21-23)

Jehovah's Witness 1975 testimonies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVkxmqE0qZk&feature=related The end of the "worldwide system of things," also known as The World, the World As We Know It, The Old Order Of Human Society, This Old World, was predicted, in writing, in these years: 1874, 1875, 1881, 1888, 1914, 1915, 1918; stated as possible for 1920, 1925, the "Resurrection of Princes" or Ancient Worthies like King David in 1929, 1932, 1940, stated as "any day now" in 1942, noted as "why not now" in 1951, strongly noted to be incoming for possibly 1974 then definitely for 1975, surely before the generation that was born in 1914 dies, which was dropped in 1996; brought up orally after a major tsunami in Asia, as within seconds after the major economic downturn hit in 2008. When JWs point these things out they are told things such as: "Wait on Jehovah."  "The light will get brighter." "Well, no organization is perfect." "So... where else will you go, hey!?" "You must be listening to apostates!" "We didn't really say those things." (totally false) "You're starting to sound like an apostate or like ilk to me, my friend." "Don't say this to anyone else or the Elders will disfellowship (order shunning of) you."

"At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. "So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it." (Mat 24:23-27)
