    Keeping track of Watchtowers' failed "Armageddon" prophecies is way too taxing!

    It is easier to remember that broken clocks are correct twice every day, but Watchtower has never been right. :)

    JWfacts.com covers the subject as well as anyone,

    in my opinion. https://jwfacts.com/watchtower/1800s.php

    They said the 'end' was coming,,,a few times I guess.

    I was scared during my entire childhood. Either I thought I would be killed, or, if Armageddon happened while I was at school, how would I make it all alone? I was the only JW at my school. I was such a nervous kid. 😢

    Biahi.

    You see,, this is the problem with child indoctrination.

    This is what people are so angst about. Children have no choice.

    Even now the purple drawing of Armageddon from the Paradise book is vivid in my mind...

    I always thought 6 billion people are not Witnesses and I guess we have to bury there bodies after Jehovah kills them.

    GBer MARK SANDERSON commented on a JW BROADCAST video, some remark to this effect⬇

    "We really can't say; therefore, we don't know. ONLY Our Heavenly Father Jehovah and His Son, Jesus Christ, actually know. Friends, we just have to wait and see!". Hmmm. . . . . . . . .🤨🤔

    For decades, the membership has been lying in wait for The Great Trib & The Big A to appear. In the meantime, the leadership has been BUSY constructing certain building projects: RAMAPO, specifically, and encouraging yung wans to prepare themselves to apply and travel to Upstate NY to volunteer + participate in this "endeavor". It's SUS how this organization can make claims about a "biblical main" doctrine---and go completely left away from it: For no doubt nefarious purposes.

    As a child whom grew up in the 1980's, I couldn't have ever dreamed in my wild dreams that a Governing Body member would EVER utter something like that. EVER! It was constantly drummed into our heads from the stages, and thru the constant barrage of literature, that the time of the End was NOW! "Imminent." The Ark doors were closing, remember? Better get "in" God's Earthly Organization before it's too late!!!!!

    Now, in the year of our Lord 2025, the GB can actually spout this drivel and not be tarred and feathered because most (if not all) all the Old Timers are dead and to weak to take action. My parents are probably spinning in their graves this very instant.

    What an incredible sight to behold from this date in time. Just incredible! Truly, it is the passage of TIME that has shown this up to be a cult more than anything.
