1935 A Gentle Reminder
by Inkie in.. it must not be forgotten that back in the early 1900's the society taught that world war i was the beginning of the great tribulation and when wwi ended--that was the "unless those days were cut short no flesh would be saved" and it was the "these are the ones that come out of the great tribulation" as recorded by the apostle john in his revelation.
when wwii started it was the great tribulation commencing again such that all of those jw's between the two world wars belonged to the great crowd.
in 1968 at the peace on earth international convention, the society changed its teaching and made the great tribulation a yet future event.

Evaluating Raymond Franz
by greendawn inwhat do you think of ray(mond) franz?
i have seen here some people critisise him as not being a really heartfelt opponent of the wts, but my view is that he was quite honest about his expressed motives against the cult.
with his revelations he gave a lot of momentum to the ex jw movement (the apostate organisation according to the jws) and offered valuable assistance to those seeking to shake off the ideological and social dependance on the oppressive cult.

by Ancientofdays inin the last year i made myself aware of wts.
then i resigned from elder, i stopped service , i stopped family study, but i'm still a formal jw.

WTBTS money making for who?
by awol inthere is a lot of talk on here about the wtbts a money making organisation.. maybe, but who is this money going to?.
like a friend "in the truth" lol said, it's all put back into the work.
and who would want to be a missionary, they don't get any money out of the society etc etc.. so who reap the rewards here then?
