Lupasin laittaa otteen Vt-seuran (lue Rutherfordin) päätöksestä jättää päivämäärien kanssa suhraaminen. Vuonna 1931 myönnettiin jäsenistön, ei siis järjestön (lue Rutherfordin), epäonnistuminen ja luvattiin lopettaa tulevaisuuden päivämäärien ennustelu:
"There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah's faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1914, 1918 and 1925, which disappointment lasted for a time. Later the faithful learned that these dates were definitely fixed in the Scriptures; and they also learned to quit fixing dates for the future and predicting what would come to pass on a certain date, but to rely (and they do rely) upon the Word of God as to the events that must come to pass." (Vindication 1 1931 edition p. 338-339)
Tuosta luettelosta jäi jostain syystä pois vuosi 1920, jolloin kaikenkarvaisten hallitusten tuli luhistua anarkiaan:
"And the mountains were not found. Even the republics will disappear in the fall of 1920. And the mountains were not found. Every kingdom of earth will pass away, be swallowed up in anarchy." (The Finished Mystery, 1917 edition, p. 258)
Kuitenkin jo vuonna 1932 oli odoteltu kristikunnan (huomaa; ei siis Suuren Babylonin) loppua, kuten myöhemmästä kirjoituksesta käy ilmi:
"They had preached that in an early time God would overthrow ‘Christendom’ [in 1925] and then when that date did not materialize the date was moved up to 1932. Again, 1932 came and 'Christendom' was not destroyed, and now it was discovered that ‘Christendom’ would be spared for a while longer for the sake of the Jonadab class, and this made the proud ‘elective elder’ crowd very mad." (w38 Feb. 15 p. 54)
Vuonna 1941 aikaa maailmanloppuun oli enää kuukausia:
“Receiving the gift, the marching children clasped it to them, not a toy or plaything for idle pleasure, but the Lord's provided instrument for most effective work in the remaining months before Armageddon.” (w41 Sep. 15 p. 288)
Sen jälkeen tuli vuoden 1951 ja rinnastus Jeesuksen elämän sekä Jerusalemin tuhon välinen ajallinen etäisyys (1914 37=1951):
"The thirty-six intervening years since 1914, instead of postponing Armageddon, have only made it nearer than most people think. Do not forget: "This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." (Matt. 24:34) Consequently, the important question is: What is the most profitable way in which to use the remaining time? If you are wise you will not dodge or side-step the answer.-Eccl. 8:5." (w50 1 Nov. p. 419)
"By keeping the people ignorant they led them into having Jesus killed on a torture stake at Calvary. Thirty-seven years later this willfully cultivated ignorance led to its fatal consequences, the destruction of the city of Jerusalem with an enormous loss of human lives, just as Jesus had predicted, and the breaking up of the Jewish nation till this day. And now in this "time of the end" the revived nation of Israel with capital at the modern city of Jerusalem chooses to go on in the steps of its forefathers . . ." (w50 Sep. 1 p. 277; see also w50 Oct. 1 p. 407)
"Counting from the end of the "appointed times of the nations" in 1914, we are 37 years into the "time of the end" of this world. (Luke 21:24, NW; Dan. 12:4) During these crucial years Jehovah's witnesses have sought shelter and strength in him, and they can confess for themselves that he is a "well-proved help in trouble". If it were not for this, they would not be here today nor increasing in numbers. But we are entering the most serious and trialsome years of this "time of the end". The final conflict of Armageddon draws near." (w51 Feb. 15 p. 179)
Seuraava mittava laskennallinen epäonnistuma olikin sitten vuosi 1975.

Vt seura on varmasti tajunnut M.M tieto määrän Jt historiasta ja heidän ainoa keino on ostaa M.M pois Vt seuran palvelukseen.
Tuleeko M.M ensimmäinen tupla luopio ja heittäytyy takaisin Vt seuran palvelukseen isosta rahasta, jolla jenkki firma hoitaa hänet puhumaan oikeata asiaa???
Vaihtoehtona on tietenkin se, että M.M ostetaan hiljaiseksi Vt seuran toimesta. No sen jälkeen palsta saattaa hiukan hiipua, mutta M.M nauttii Välimeren rannikolla pirtelönsä tyytyväisenä.
Jotenkin tuntuu, että saamme jatkossakin seurata M.M tarkkaa tietoa Vt järjestön toimista ja käyttää heidän omia julkaisujaan paljastuksissaan.
Kaikkea hyvää toivoen mr. Meilolle
Paljonkos VT-seuran pitäisi sulle Markku maksaa että olisit turpa kiinni kaikesta VT-seuraan liittyvästä?
Vaikka tämä on kaikki hupaisaa mielikuvitusta ja teoriaa, niin kuvailemassasi tilanteessa tahdosta riippumaton hoito olisi ensisijaisesti paikallaan.
Välimerestä olen saanut tarpeekseni jo siinä vaiheessa kun teokraattinen urani lopullisesti nyykähti uiskennellessani talvisaikaan Välimeren etelärannalla.
Itse asiassa tilanteen mahdollisesti vaatiessa olisin valmis maksamaan lisää mahdollisuudesta tuoda näitä asioita esille. Tätä matskua on esillä maksamallani sivustolla ja olen tukenut Veljesseuran sivustoa rahallisesti jo sen alkumetreillä.
