WATCHTOWER'S MANY FALSE STATEMENTS ABOUT "THE GENERATION OF 1914"http://www.jwstudies.com/2010_change_to_generations.pdf

2014 - ITS SIGNIFICANCE IN THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY

As we near 2014 expect to hear more and more about 2014. Many Jehovah's Witnesses quit after 1975 did not turn out to be the year when Armageddon hit earth bringing in paradise. Similarly more will be quitting as we approach 2014 and then go past it.

Watchtower has already stopped printing its own 1914 prophecy on the inside cover of every Watchtower magazine as used to be done. That prophecy is namely that those people who lived in the generation that had their lifetime in 1914 would see Armageddon followed by paradise on earth.

Watchtower has now begun saying that, instead, the generation that lived in 1914 did not see The End but rather saw "the beginning of the End."

Also, instead of predicting The End via Armageddon for a specific year date, Watchtower representatives are saying it is expected any second now.

Of course, all such false date predicting is mentally unbalancing and destructive of the lives of Watcthtower's now some 7,300,000 members around the earth, but Watchtower is a faceless corporation that could care less.

Watchtower's real concern is that its image be protected. However, since it published about 1914 for nearly 100 years, it's going to have a tough time doing so.

Although the Watchtower magazine may no longer mention 1914, memory of the misprophecy or misprediction is thoroughly ingrained into the brains of almost all Jehovah's Witnesses except some of the very young.

Yes, 2014 lifts the veil, exposing the Watchtower as being what it has long name-called competing religious organizations, namely an spiritual adulteress, an entity controlled and manipulated from behind the scenes by the ruler of the world of darkness.

All good persons who put God and Jesus Christ first need to be exiting Watchtower. If you can't do so immediately and directly, then at least cut out donations of money and cut way down too on donations of any time and energy. Instead shift those, for example, to taking better care of your family.

Who can blame people for feeling burnt, betrayed by an organization that has come to believe its own lies.

As we move toward 2014 one of the most noteable occurrences has to do with the young people in the Watchtower Society:

WHY YOUNG PEOPLE AREQUITTINGTHE WATCHTOWERSOCIETY

It's no secret that young Jehovah's Witnesses are quitting the Watchtower Society organization over them as fast as possible. Ask and they say the main reason is that it’s become intolerable, so restrictive as to be unlivable. And h ow so? Well, young people are made to feel guilty by Watchtower because they are unable to attain the unattainable, that is what Watchtower deems to be perfection.

Besides the in-built guilt-tripping, they feel deprived of countless opportunities to enjoy a normal life with normal fun activities. They don’t get to go out to non-JW dances, bowling parties, attend a school-sponsored summer leadership conference, join a YMCA for non-religious recreation etc. Nor can they join Scouts, be a cheerleader, participate in birthday celebrations, go to the prom, enjoy Christmas, Valentines Day etc.

In short, most normal events for enjoyment are outlawed, mislabeled unChristian, worldly or Satanic. Even things they can do they are discouraged from doing, for example, they are told to avoid internet usage and to consider any negative news about JWs even in reputable newspapers as lies and propaganda from Satan. They are also discouraged from higher education.

Young Jehovah's Witnesses have their entire lives ahead of them. The sooner they can make the break the sooner they can start enjoying normal lives with joy. Even when JW young people have married they have been irked to find that Watchtower bedroom laws are applied, a perverting by outsiders even of their state of matrimony.

True, JW family and any friends who stay JWs will shun them, but the Watchtower way of life is too rigid, harsh and unnatural, so they see they must get out and the sooner the better. Instead of constantly be reminded of impending Armageddon and preaching at door after door, they would rather be making friends, having some normal fun and normal lives.

Happily, many, and no doubt more than many with the passing of time, rightly blame the Watchtower for its fruit-cakey, hypocrisy of rules and regulations, not God who has caused Galatians 5:22 to state that the fruits of the Holy Spirit include love and joy.

The highly respect Pew Forum report said, speaking generally without reference to a particular age group, "Jehovah’s Witnesses have the lowest retention rate of any religious tradition. Only 37% of all those who say they were raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses still identify themselves as Jehovah’s Witnesses."

This is far more so the case among the youth. The Watchtower Society is bleeding youths as well as Elders, not exploding but imploding, not suddenly flying into pieces but slowly strangling to death.

So, when the Watchtower no longer exists who gets the cash? Corporations is built to retain and build cash. The Watchtower Corporation is no different. They are actually more successful than most corporations.

The prophetic framework of the Watchtower may end, but the cash remains. Who gets it?

I'm pretty sure that the WTBTS will hang on until the last penny is gone. If they suddenly imploded, someone would step in claiming to be an incarnation of them so as to retain the assets of the corporation. They might not be true believers, but they would put on a front in order to control whatever monies and property might be left. I have my doubts about many of the past GB members and how much they really believed their own propaganda. As long as there are sheeple who are looking for someone to lead them around and tell them that God loves them and that someday, over the rainbow, they will live in the land of Oz forever and ever, and no one will ever look cross-eyed at them again, there will be a version of the Watchtower Society.

I think there are even some International Bible Students still around (the precursor to the WTBTS). Funny how religious cults work.

PYRAMIDSCHEME

1914, 1925, 1975 and many other failed prophecies did not do it. Neither have the many scandals involving blood, child abuse among others. 2014 will come and go, just like 1975 and Harold Campings rapture. A few might wake up but the WT will go on.

godrulz

I hope to live to see the day that WT will implode or dwindle in significance.

PYRAMIDSCHEME

Thats the thing though, they arnt significant. Only jw's care about it. The WT makes us all think the org is important, but the vast majority of the 6 billion plus people dont care.

HAIRYHEGOAT: This religion has reinvented itself over and over for a hundred years or so. Many people are dead and gone who had faith in the religion during whatever phase they were going through at the time. So, I am not as optimistic as some who believe it is on its way out. I think this religion will exist in a different way with a different bunch of gullible followers. Sad to say.

where's their money market with the loss of americans joining the ranks. how can poorer countries support them? it's going to take a lot of chunk change to keep them going and poorer countries cannot fill this void. society is not as brainwashed by religion in this day and age no matter how desperate it is for hope. unfortunately it will probably exist but they definitely need a new marketing plan to attract customers --- doubtful they can reinvent the cult 180 degrees. i'm not optimistic about it's demise but hairyhegoat's opinion is certainly hopeful.

the poorer/uneducated people in this country have few options and will be their prey/base --- so sad. the underprivileged need to be protected in the land of corrupt religious freedom.

HHG your barely concealed wishful thinking is no substitute for accurate reporting. Your breathless sensationalism betrays any shred of awareness of how end-times religions survive - and even prosper from -their failed prophecies. God knows, deluded believers have been waiting for the guy on the cloud to come wafting back for millenia. Where is the evidence that, despite failure, any of them are now better able to distinguish fact from faith? You would have been a scream a minute back in 1926 predicting that the failure of 1925 would be the deathnell of the Watchtower Society. Hello, its heyday hadn't even arrived at that stage and was yet decades into the future. Who'd have known? Oh, yes, those with a sociological awareness of how religion's prosper in the wake of failed prophecies. Suggested reading: Festinger's 1950's treatise When Prophecy Fails.

Beware you don't end up as tiresomely false as the failed prophets in the Watchtower. They consistently fail to predict the end of the world then you come along and fail to predict the end of the Watchtower. Talk about chain of failed prophets!

Even so, I agree the Watchtower is hemorraghing young people - but probably not for the reasons you suggest.
