Remember them well,
That was the hay day for Watchtower fear mongering about 1914 and the end.
I remember my dad saying there is no way this world is going to be still going on by1990.
Dad died in 2015.
it's incredible how this cover, and also this "series" of watchtower's is burned into my mind.
i was almost 5 years old when these were released.

got a jw letter in the mail the other day.. i decided to throw some comments back.
not perfect, but i figured i wasted enough time since it will probably get thrown directly in the trash.. i found the person's home address who sent it and mailed it there, the address on the letter is the kingdom halls address.. .
curious to see if anything comes of this..
I am originally from the Emmaus congregation, then the Parkway c.and lastly the South Allentown c.
No more congregations for me!
I actually think it helps you to get out if you change up congregations a few times.

i thought it would be cute to mix a little dubdom with mothers day since i'm jealous of everyone who gets ta give their mom sumthin and i can't..........so i'm condemning you damn pagans!mothers day origin moms are the best things that ever happened in the world.
on may 11th every year, we celebrate 'mother's day' as an opportunity to express our love, respect and gratitude to our mothers for all the things she has done for us.
alchemy webmedia has tried to consolidate the origin, history, legends and stories of this very special day, just for you.
i was listening to a youtube where a pastor relates his experience of attending a jw memorial.
he said something that was profound to me.. "how do you have a memorial for someone alive?".
they use this phrase all the time, even printing thousands and thousands of invitations to invite everyone to join them in doing this.. i googled that phrase to see what other christian church's use this phrase and was astounded to see that at least the first two pages of results are in relation to jw's only..
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Jehovah Witnesses proclaim nothing since they do not eat or drink.
Anyone can die for something. The tricky part is being alive after dieing. Is that why normal Christians focus on Easter? Golly.
the new study article 28 watchtower that has just been published on jw.org is about apostate lies and introduces new concepts in their effort to compat apostasy in the congregations.
so despite the loosening of their recent disfellowshipping rules their fight against apostates is still raging hard.
according to the foreword of this article, they will concentrate on :.
I like how they equate themselves (the Watchtower) to Jehovah.
the truth we have learned from Jehovah
nations into taking sides against Jehovah.
strengthen our fear of Jehovah, we need to focus on pleasing him
i’ve noticed a pattern where things don’t go the way i expect them to go and/or whenever i realise there is a trend and, i mentally adjust for the idea that the trend will continue, the trend stops in its tracks.
so on that basis, and given many people, including myself, and active jws, have been asking ‘what changes will the governing body make next?’ perhaps the (disappointing) answer is: ‘nothing much for a while to come’.
maybe they’ve made the changes they want for now, and will wait a while and see how it’s received.
I'm still looking for an expanding role for women. It's long overdue.
I agree, women will be given more responsibilities. Maybe #2 and #4 talks, or service meeting parts that deal with family and women subjects.
They can say the bible had prophetesses Sarah, Miriam, Deborah, Hannah, Huldah, Abigail, and Esther. What a grand privelege this willl be for our sisters!!!
Another stupid thing they do that could be scrapped is the passing of the emblems whithout partaking.
Allow all to partake only change the meaning. They can say it is for both the heavenly and earthly hope.
Only Jehovah and the individual know their heart and what hope they have.
