What is the World is 1994?

[TrueTomHarley]

Sometimes those who are trying to embarrass me with failed end-of-the-world predictions include 1994. Search around and it can be found online.

I have no idea what that is or where it comes from. There was certainly never anything in print. Does anybody know, like @JW Insider, who knows a lot?

Google and other search tools know a lot. I just take credit until someone embarrasses me with a word of faint praise.

The Watchtower publications never pointed to 1994, although there were about 4 references to the end of the system coming 'before the end of the twentieth century.' (One got corrected in time to change the wording in the bound volume, and therefore also changed for the Watchtower Library CD, but the original Watchtower, and the cassette voice recording contains the prediction.)

The big 1994 prediction was from Harold Camping who pretty much ran Family Radio. Even JWs listened to Family Radio, after Armstrong's World Wide Church of God dwindled to nothing. He started pushing 1994 in 1992, for odd reasons. When he pushed again for May 21, 2011, I got to talk to one of the members on the train who was willing to give me all kinds of literature and CDs on the subject, since it was his last night on earth. (He said.) I haven't looked at them yet.
