Regarding your faulty claim that "JW's never published or made any claim about 1975" in your vandalism of the JW article's Talk page... if your claim were true, why did the Watchtower admit at least partial responsibility for exactly that? Specifically:

• • • w80 3/15 p. 17 par. 5 Choosing the Best Way of Life ***

5 In modern times such eagerness, commendable in itself, has led to attempts at setting dates for the desired liberation from the suffering and troubles that are the lot of persons throughout the earth. With the appearance of the book Life Everlasting—in Freedom of the Sons of God, and its comments as to how appropriate it would be for the millennial reign of Christ to parallel the seventh millennium of man’s existence, considerable expectation was aroused regarding the year 1975. There were statements made then, and thereafter, stressing that this was only a possibility. Unfortunately, however, along with such cautionary information, there were other statements published that implied that such realization of hopes by that year was more of a probability than a mere possibility. It is to be regretted that these latter statements apparently overshadowed the cautionary ones and contributed to a buildup of the expectation already initiated. --Jeffro77 12:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
