From: CARL MCCASKEY To: CARLA RYGULA CR>Well Keith, I didn't see any 1914 mentioned in your above quote. Yes, CR>all of what he said is true. Millions now living WILL never die. I hope CR>to be included in them. Once again, nowhere will you find any CR>Watchtower material that predicts 1914 or 1975 to be the end of the CR>world. Once again, Carla, you are plain WRONG! The Watchtower DID claim the end of the world in 1975. The following quote comes directly from the Watchtower's publication called "Kingdom Ministry", May 1974, page 3 (look it up for yourself, Carla, I challenge you): "Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining BEFORE THE WICKED WORLD'S END." [emphasis mine - TCM] And let's look at what was published in a much earlier Watchtower publication called "Creation", page 307: "This is another strong corrobative proof of the Lord's presence and of the END OF THE WORLD, beginning in 1914." [emphasis mine - TCM] These are two instances where the Watchtower clearly predicted the end of the world (even stated that in the same words) and got it TOTALLY WRONG! Let's look at another instance where the Watchtower royally fouled up. From the Watchtower publication "Millions Now Living Will Never Die", page 88: "The chief thing to be restored is the human race to life: and since other Scriptures definitely fix the fact that there will be a resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and other faithful ones of old, and that these will have first favor, we may expect 1925 to witness the return of these faithful men of Israel from the condition of death, being resurrected and fully restored to perfect humanity and made the visible, legal representatives of the new order of things on earth." Okay, so where were Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the other faithful ones of old back in 1925. Well, I can tell you where they WEREN'T: They WEREN'T on this earth as the Watchtower predicted. Carla, it is clear to EVERYONE who is a regular reader on this echo that you not only do not know nor understand Christian theology, but also you have NO IDEA what the history of the Watchtower is. Here's a lesson in simple logic. Watchtower=False prophet False prophet=Not of God THEREFORE Watchtower=Not of God So Carla, why do you believe an organization like the Watchtower when it has been shown to you time and time again the lies and deceit from them? Save yourself from their lies and deceit, Carla. I pray that God will open your eyes to the unGodliness of the Watchtower. -------------------------------------------- file: /pub/resources/text/apl/jw: jw-040.txt .
