in just a few weeks, this year will end and a new one begins.
nothing special, just 2006.. but when you analyse the jw doctrine, it is another nail in their already 91 nail studded coffin.
the watchtower has for decades taught that jesus' presence and rulership began in 1914. since changing the generation of 1914 doctrine, a whole decade has passed, with little in the way of anything new.
Truthseeker!
Kuddos on nailing the future with this prophesy! Guess what ? You have prophesized. Accurately. 100% .
The WBTS in a hundred years have prophesized ..Hotdamn !! 100 % too. Falsely, inaccurately, incorrectly!!! Goddam LIARS!!
If they are smart, they should make you a Job offer!
This is ... I can't think of a cussword appropiate enough to describe my feelings. Years ago, 1983 to be exact, when studying with a JW, I asked him why doesn't the WBTS preach on T.V? His reply".. Jesus taught us to preach from door to door. Tele-evangelists do that and we don't want to follow their example." Sonovabitch!! Looks like the tele-evangelists got the better of Jesus!!!
this topic is a couple years late, but i just wanted to get this off my chest.
i don't understand why people say that the society starting a project that won't finish until 2017 means that the end can't come until then, or that they don't expect the end before then.
this isn't a very logical line of thought.
Why build anything after AMG? Land wil be free, materials will be free. weather and climate will be absolutely perfect-not too hot not too cold-not too much rain; if it did you could go and shelter under bushy leafed trees! Take a D*** behind bushes- different bushes for men and women of course in different parts of the compound lest flesh fall prey to flesh!!! No need to cook .New trees with nutritious fruit to take care of all nutritional and medicinal... ( sorry delete please. I forgot. No diseases in the new world) ... and 72 virgins...OOOPS sorry..no... got it mixed up with another cultish belief system.
so far my oldest niece and oldest sister cut me off.
i'm waiting for the goodbye texts from my other siblings.
my parents asured me they would never cut me off.
Sorry about your situation. Look on the bright side. YOU have the TRUTH while they believe in a ridiculous faith.
Hope you recover quickly from the shock of it all and get on with your life.Which will, I'm sure , be a happier outcome in the long run.
Wish you the very best.

...as we were enjoying our weekly sunday "no meetings margaritas.. my friend and i have been meeting for lunch and margaritas ( okay mostly margaritas, we throw lunch in so we dont feel like alcoholics lol ??).
instead of going to meetings.. ( we discovered we could have lunch*margaritas* without the meeting first.).
my jw lady friend still goes out "in service" and stays in touch with her "service buddies" who also know me.. so she was telling me that they asked about me and mentioned that they would like to stop by to see me.
Missfit,
No problem. That's undrstandable. The reason I ask is because I'm a track goer myself. SoCal.

i have thoroughly researched the watchtower doctrine of 1914, and am convinced it is neither biblically or historically correct.
but every now and then i wonder how ironic it is that world war 1 did start in that year, also pestilence and famine perused.
maybe, just maybe the witnesses are correct.
Numbers are an exact science. Going by this assumption, and if the bible has stated numbers correctly, then there should be no room for speculation. Events should occur as the tumblers fall. Not six yearsand 8 months later as in the case of Hitler's chancellorship Jan 30th 1933- and the second WW. Sept 1939 to Aug 12, 1945.

MissFit. Which track is that. Give us the state if not the place.
i stumbled upon this website a few weeks ago due to the jw.org ridiculousness, since then i haven't been able to pull myself away.
the thoughts, feelings, and concerns i have had the past few years aren't just mine.
it's global.
Welcome. Enjoy the journey. And go where your dreams take you.
Thanks simon for the site.
the chart provides a summary of the whole book, supporting the theory of recapitulation.
this view suggests that the events in revelation do not all form a continuous series but the series of sevens (seven seals in rev 6:1-8:5, seven trumpets in rev 8:6-11:19, and seven bowls in rev 15:1-16:21) repeatedly bring us to the end of the world, when christ comes in judgment to either reward or punish.
as noted earlier, even the interlude of revelation 12-14 begins with the first coming of christ (rev 12:1ff.
Thanks.

wt 7/15/2014....page 27...question # 17...what will we consider in the next article...paragraph 17...but how can we be jehovah witnesses and at the same time be witnesses of jesus....well well well...i think they really got the point...all through the greek scriptures, that's what jesus has been saying...we are to witness about him....in the hebrews scriptures was about jehovah god, most of the world got that.
now jehovah, put another spoke in the wheel his son...jesus...that's who paul has been talking about all along...that he was witness of jesus, paul knew who god was.
i think the society monitors sites like these & others & found out....they may have been, uh...wrong....wonder how are they going to spin this one off....i won't read the next article just yet... comments anyone ..... legacy.
wannefree: Thank you.
