Hi MUNKAFATS, and welcome to the board

i keep seeing sites talking about false prophesies from the witnesses (dooms day etc) id like an unbiased opinion as to where i can get more info as the witnesses here in new zealand tell me they have never heard of them, thanks?

The jws never acknowledge that they have ever made any false prophecy. They make "adjustments" to their beliefs, as in the case of the 1995 generation change, when one of their prophecies is about to fail. Prior to 1995, they believed that people who could remember the events of 1914, wnich means that they would have to have been at least 10 years of age then, would live to see armageddon. When those people were obviously dying off, the watchtower changed that doctrine to read that any generation who didn't heed their message would see armageddon, so this so-called "truth" is now completely meaningless.

The jws have, in times past, been guilty of making several false prophecies, like "Millions now living will never die", written in 1920. Obviously, most of those living in 1920 are now dead, but the watchtower keeps on changing doctrine, and does not encourage it's followers to read its' older publications, so many current jws are unaware of the falsehoods their organisation has perpetrated in the past. For more information on the ever-changing watchtower doctrines, see this link

This is a website containing quotes from older watchtower publications. Their false prophecy is revealed by their own words.

You say you are interested in the teachings of jehovahs witnesses? My advice is to end your interest now.

MUNKAFATS

MUNKAFATS

Yes, I am an ex jw. I was a jw for 25 years, before disassociating in 2005.

Before you make any commitment to the watchtower, please research the organisation thoroughly. I wish the internet had been around in 1981 when I joined. If I'd had the opportunities to research the jws that are available now, I doubt I'd have ever been one.

but if there is no monetary gain from jw's then what would they have to gain from you? from what i have learnt so far a cult means worshipping a leader which i dont see as true
