Is 2034 the ultimate Watchtower date?

There was a study article in early 2006 that also did the reminder of the 120 years of time after
God's judgement.  I conducted that Study at my hall. 

The WTS is seeing so much decline that it is highly likely they will see a need to set a date.
They will need to set it far enough ahead to give them time to use.  2034 could be that date.
They will do something very similar to 1975, allowing excitement to build, but leaving room to
deny later.

If they started soon enough, most of the current GB would be dead by then, not caring about the
aftermath.  They could get a 2/3rds approval on pushing the date.  This could finance their move
out of the U.S.A. 

I like how Arthur said they could come up with something like "the final gleaning." 
How about, "Jehovah may have delayed Armageddon, because unlike the days of Noah, today's
warning message is effective.  People are coming to the house of Jehovah. He wishes nobody to
be destroyed, so the gleaning will continue as long as Jehovah sees more sheep-like ones out there."
That  could be their parachute in 2035.  I think it will happen.

I also think they will lose more than the total growth if they do that.  They will shrink to a couple
million or even less after this- but it will be a hell of a ride.

>They'll do what they always do. Deny, deny, deny.

Yes and also, blame the sheep, blame the sheep, blame the sheep.

It would be such a trip to live long enough to see the borg disolve.

But alas, they've got enough bread to last the rest of our lifetimes and more.

Whatcha' bet that they'll dust off the 1957 "Sputnik Generation" doctrine proposal

and publish it?

I submit that whatever date the WTBS came up with, or modified for whatever reason, would be accepted by the mass of their constituency, because that's what the constituency wanted to believe to begin with.

I don't buy into the ideas of corporate profits, or individual glorification. People, as a mass (sociological group), do what they do because that's what they want to do. In that perspective, the WTBS is not a director...it's a facilitator.

As are all religions, and political bodies.

People want to believe that they are immortal, or in some way immune to mortality (going to heaven, achieveing Nirvana, etc.)---and yet mortality is the one and only demonstrable aspect of existence (for all living things).

Well it has been circulating in our area since 1995. If nothing happens the tower will not fall, they are already semi preparing for this situation. The whole 1914 (aside from the Rev book) is being less and less mentioned. Up until last year it appeared that the legal department would eventually take over but with the May QFR and the Kool-Aid WT it seems that a deal has been struck between the departments. Yep they all get a win, Service gets to limit production, lay-off bethelites,and close and sale properties(saving $$$), Writing gets to isolate and futher control the "sheep", and of course Legal gets to keep protraying JWs as mainstream. So if the GB/ Writing dept decide to press the 2034-2035 issue then it will be limited to "publishers" only and not the general public. And the average R&F Publisher can easily be replaced with new converts. The only good that will come of this is the lifting of the blood ban, expect that when there are only JWs who were baptized 1985 and after.
