My point was that the quote attributed to the 5/1/68 Watchtower was completely incorrect. Next time try reading the articles that often accompany the charts, Archaic.

The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Exactly, so why did the JWs keep trying to predict the year it would happen when your own scriptures clearly point out that NO ONE knows, not even Jesus himself?LadyBarbara wrote:This is a quote from paragraph 8 of the May 1, 1968, Watchtower:

You see, scare tactics are the easiest way to convert the weak-minded, so they set some date for the Apocalypse to put them in line. Almost all of the time, the date is a few decades from then, probably to scare them more.Darth Servo wrote:Exactly, so why did the JWs keep trying to predict the year it would happen when your own scriptures clearly point out that NO ONE knows, not even Jesus himself?LadyBarbara wrote:This is a quote from paragraph 8 of the May 1, 1968, Watchtower:

Funny isn't it how these sorts of arguements make strange bedfellows.

Perhaps you should start to cross reference your sources Barb.
After how many hours it took me to compile that, I'd never imagine trying to read it again now. ^^; Don't you just hate it when a debate gets that fragmented, and both sides are tireless rebutters? ^^;
