The Watchtower, ““What Prevents Me from Getting Baptized?””
“When we consider how Jehovah has been dealing with his people during the ‘harvest period,’ it seems evident that the heavenly calling in general was completed about the year 1935, when the hope of the “great crowd” of Revelation 7:9-17 was properly understood to be an earthly one.”
A contemporaneous statement of the position that the 2007 answer later set aside. The next paragraph adds that only “a very few” replacements would be called and that anyone claiming the heavenly hope at that late hour should be regarded with caution.
