I was a senior in high school and the circuit overseer which is the travel ministry advised me that.. it's best for you to quit school and go in the full time pioneer work because the world and in 1975. we felt so strongly about the imminent approach of 1975 that this whole system was coming to an end we sold our home in lower Michigan, move north build a kingdom hall in there we intended to live up those few remaining years having save just enough money to go a few years beyond 1975. so it was a great disappointment and distress when this event that the watchtower had prophecied did not materialize.
