Why 1914 is utterly true (and so is 607 B.C.E.)

1914 is a very significant date for true believers.

faithful and eager students of the scriptures figured out (and "proved") jesus would return to kill the wicked and reward the meek in 1874. the signs were obvious.

but, it didn't happen.

Hi Terry, I really enjoy your articles because they make so clear what I struggled to understand when reading JW literature.

I tried to explain to a JW "friend," that the reason I left the RC church was because a priest told me that I could not claim the promises of Scripture apart from the official teaching (Magisterium) of the Church. (E.g., regarding salvation and Justification by Grace thru Faith.) The JW agreed that I should have left,saying,"That's how the RCs hold people in slavery." BUT,when I told him that now the JWs are telling me that I cannot claim,or even UNDERSTAND, Scripture promises, his exact response was,"Now wait a minute,let's not go on a tangent!"

I think it takes the Grace of God to see thru the blindness of any authoritarian religion.

Thanks also for your humor. It helps to see the truth a lot easier thru laughter.

Dear Terry,Your whole testmony was one of the best ever. I enjoyed the humor on the 1914 thing,but mainly I thanked God that I got out of such a deluded Society. I have never experienced fear or regret since I found Christ without WT mags. (John 5:39-40) He set me free from bondage,what a joy. Praise His Name!
