Dean:
I agree with AF on the 1975 issue. I was an elder at the time and the Society ( and its surrogates - CO, DO, et al) avidly promoted and strongly pointed to 1975 as the end of the world in addition to the end of 6000 years of mankind's history. And a lot of people (including elders) in my neck of the woods believed them.
Remember, if 1975 was not a pivotal date in WT theology, there would have been no need for a half-hearted apology from the GB. Right?
