JWs after the Watchtower?
by Zapper_1 inhas it ever occurred to any one that, unlikely as it seems, jws could continue as a religion if the watchtower collapses?
of course, i don't mean that all congregations would continue to exist - many, or even most, would probably fade away too.
however, there may be a few congregations with enough enlightened leadership to keep their people together.

1914 is way down the list of "important" historical events
by Gopher inthe watchtower society has pushed 1914 as the key date in recent human history.
after all, they have their interpretation of the "seven times" of the book of daniel to prove how important that date is in god's eternal purpose(tm).. while it's true that world war 1 ushered in a new era of advanced warfare, it is not even close to the most important event in the last thousand years of human history.. .
according to the book "the life millenium ... the 100 most important events & people of the past 1,000 years" published by time/life books, these are the leading events in history between the years 1000 and 1998 (when the book was printed).. .
