Teen aiheesta oman avauksen koska se hukkui toiseen eri aiheiseen ja jo hyvin pitkäksi tulleeseen ketjuun. Lisäksi nykymuotoinen s24 "foorumi" tulee hyvin vaikeselkoiseksi kun viestejä tulee hieman enemmän.
1925 : Ohessa joitakin lainauksia Järjestön omasta kirjallisuudesta koskien nykyisen asiainjärjestelmän loppua ennustettuna vuodelle 1925 ja joiden voimakkaasti painotettiin olevan jumalallisia alkuperää, ei ihmisistä lähtöisin:
"As we have heretofore stated, the great jubilee cycle is due to begin in 1925. At that time the earthly phase of the kingdom shall be recognized." Millions Now Living Will Never Die p.89
"Hence these faithful men may be expected on earth within the next few years." The Harp of God p.340
"The year 1926 would therefore begin about October first, 1925 . We should, therefore, expect shortly after 1925 to see the awakening of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Melchisedec, Job, Moses, Samuel, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, John the Baptist, and others mentioned in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. ... No doubt many boys and girls who read this book will live to see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Daniel, and those other men of old come forth in the glory of their better resurrection, of perfect in mind and body. It will not take long for Christ to appoint them to their post of honor and authority as his earthly representatives. The world and all the present conveniences will seen strange to them at first, but they will soon become accustomed to the new methods. They may have some amusing experiences at first; for they never saw telephones, radios, automobiles, electric lights, aeroplanes, steam engines, and many other things so familiar to us." The Way to Paradise (1924) pp.224,226
"The Bible and "The Bible in Stone" [the Pyramid of Giza] give the date 1914: for the beginning of the great change. History proves that the ouster proceedings began promptly on time. Prophecy indicates that 1925-1926 will see the greater part of the ousting completed. All the world's statesmen are dreading the next few years." p.171
"For those who are now living and who will never die " p.211
"When you take up a more advanced study of the Bible, you will find that the year 1925 A. D. is particularly marked in prophecy." p.220
"The date 1925 is even more distinctly indicated by the Scriptures because it is fixed by the law God gave to Israel. Viewing the present situation in Europe, one wonders how it will be possible to hold back the explosion much longer; and that even before 1925 the great crisis will be reached and probably passed." Watch Tower 1922 Sep. 1 p.262
"... this chronology is not of man, but of God.... the addition of more proofs removes it entirely from the realm of chance into that of proven certainty.... the chronology of present truth [is]... not of human origin." Watch Tower 1922 July 1 p.217
"Our thought is, that 1925 is definitely settled by the Scriptures. As to Noah, the Christian now has much more upon which to base his faith then Noah had upon which to base his faith in a coming deluge." Watch Tower 1923 Apr. 1 p.106
Sittemmin kun ennustus osoittautui jälleen kerran vääräksi, paettiin vastuuta ja syytettiin rivijulistajia poikkeuksellisen julkeasti, kylmäkiskoisesti ja valheellisesti, liian innokaista henkilökohtaisista odotuksista, "järjen yli menevästä mieleikuvituksesta" vaikka Järjestö itse oli noiden ennustuksien lanseeraajana, opettajana, moukaroijana, ennustajana, harhaanjohtajana ja joihin tuli uskoa Jumalan epäsuosion uhalla.
"Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord did not state so. The difficulty was that the friends inflated their imaginations beyond reason; and that when their imaginations burst asunder, they were inclined to throw away everything." {WT Aug 1 1926 232}
Vielä nyttemminkin jälkeenpäin Järjestö kohtelee kirjallisuudessaan hyvin halveksien entisiä tuon ajan uskonveljiään jotka se itse kompastutti lanseeramillaan väärillä Jumalan sanan vastaisilla ennustuksillaan. Se julkeaa vielä syyttä heitä uskon puutteesta tai vain vuosilukuihin kohdituneesta toivosta, vaikka se itse oli kaikesta tuosta vastuussa.
