1975 - Love it or hate it?
by outbutnotdown ini find it quite interesting that, due to minimus' thread about "the end", there were a lot of comments about 1975. everybody who made comments about it here didn't seem very bothered by the fact that they had such high hopes for the year and were let down by yet another false jw prediction.
yet the borg chastises and condemns as being arrogant those same people who may have drifted away because of it.
to me, that says a lot about how, even subconsciously, great it must be to be out of that high control organization.

Did you ever actually make a JW convert from the door-to-door work?
by True North inin all the years i went door to door as a jw, i never once had a study who went all the way to baptism.
in the thirty years i've know my wife -- who has been a jw all this time -- she has never made a single convert from going door to door either.
is this true of others on this forum?

what is the fate of those who aren't preached to before Armageddon?
by True North inrecently i spoke with someone who says they were told that current jw teaching about those who aren't preached to before armageddon (in china, india, etc.
) is that such ones will be allowed a "second chance" in the "new order" (or "new system" or whatever it's called these days).
in reply, i said i found it unlikely that this would be their teaching and that if so it would mean that even from a jw perspective, people would be better off if they were never preached to.
