I remember growing up in the organization thinking that Russell/WTS predicted that 1914 would be when Christ returned, the Gentile Times would end, and that terrible things would happen. I remember thinking that this was profound and was a big reason I thought that WTS was indeed God's organization since Christ did return in 1914, and the Gentile times did end, and WWI broke out. Of course, through recent research, I have found that this is not true. I found that Russell/WTS thought that Christ had already returned in 1874 etc.
For all of you WTS historians, I would like to know, exactly what was predicted about 1914? Anything?
Sincerely,
Noggin
