1914, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 and 1994
Jw’s: Here are other dates that the Watchtower Society predicted. 1975 looked likely as it was computed as the 6000th anniversary of the creation of Adam in the Garden of Eden in 4026 BCE. They interpreted Psalms 90:10 as defining the length of a generation to be 80 years. Since 1914 plus 80 equals 1994, they predicted Armageddon would occur around that year. The latest estimate was 6000 years after the creation of Eve, for which no date can be determined with any accuracy.
Do you always get your "facts" from such credible sources?
You sure set me straight..well explained there sport.
Well cowboy, calgaryred asked a question. I answered it and I am correct. But feel free to believe what you want because it suits you. That's fine. But if I asked you to tell me why JW's would be waiting on hill tops for Jesus would you be able to give me an accurate answer? Highly unlikely.
Hesla's comment was also false. They have not changed their stance that Armageddon is close. Ask one.
Location: In a land without pants, or war, or want. But mostly we care about the pants.

Yeah, because they are credulous believers deluded by nonsense. That would be the primary cause - researching it further would just be filling in the unimportant details.

It seems to me that if you were certain about the impending rapture, you wouldn't limit your advertising to billboards and minivans. I mean, what's money worth to you now anyway? And isn't the goal to reach the largest audience possible?
I would expect them to take out a series of superbowl ads to let the world know. They're only a few million a pop. Take out loans, mortgage your churches and houses to the nines, sell your possessions. This isn't amateur hour, souls are on the line here.
The Mormons believe that Jesus is going to come back in Kansas City and have a built a temple here for the big event. Not sure of the date though. I guess as long as they keep wearing their magic underwear they'll be safe?
I've convinced that these people that are predicting the end of the world on a certain day, don't really under stand gods sense of humor.
When it comes, its going to be a surprise, its going to be the funniest twisted thing ever, and the last thing that he's going to hear is "What the f$$k is tha. . . . " from all 6 billion of us.
