1975 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses, “Part 2—United States of America”
“The year 1925 came and went. Jesus' anointed followers were still on earth as a class. The faithful men of old times—Abraham, David and others—had not been resurrected to become princes in the earth. ... 'Instead of its being considered a "probability," they read into it that it was a "certainty," and some prepared for their own loved ones with expectancy of their resurrection.'”
Quotes Anna MacDonald: '1925 was a sad year for many brothers. Some of them were stumbled; their hopes were dashed.'
