Carl Sagan accurately commented on a particular teaching of the Watchtower organization, saying it had predicted the world would end in 1914.[1-2]
Based on the form of Watchtower’s response to utter failure of its prediction, Sagan made assertions of the organization. Sagan wrote[3]:
According to Carl Sagan, the Watchtower organization’s response to the failure of its 1914 prediction is shamelessly dishonest, transparent evasion and contemptuous of the intelligence of their adherents.[4]
Carl Sagan needs no introduction. He was a smart guy. Seeing through bull was one of his specialties.
