first let me say this.. i have constantly been hearing of the legendary honesty/intergity of the jehovah's witness for some time now.
i have also been informed that they are the happiest people on the entire earth.. my problem is this:.
when a jehovah's witness comes to your door and you actually decide to give them a few moments of your time they never give the whole story as to what you would be getting involved with when you join the watchtower.. case in point.
seedy your lucky that at least everyone dident shun you.
But I'm not too shure about something though.
I asked how often do they speak about theocratic warfare at meetings and noone seemed to anwser my question.
I could really do with a reply.
thanks
jesus was a nice guy most of the time, but don't you think hes a bit rude and thoughtless sometimes?.
the watchtower today discussed the supposedly marvelous example that jesus showed to youths today, citing his escapade at 12 at the temple.
what hit home to me was that he was missing for three days - three days!
Why oh why wasnt it mentioned that because jesus was THE SON OF GOD his parents gave him a little lead way?
He was the massiah!
So tell me why would he have to respect the highpreists?
His mother Knew that he could take care of himself.
Oh forget it

Does anyone have a link to the Watchtower photocopy where they had a train with six train cars about the fall off the tracks in to a ditch with ARMAGEDDON at the bottom?
I cant find my own.

larc you are right in a sense that the Watchtower dident actually say that:
Armageddon will occur in the region of autumn 1975.
Does weeks or months not years equal region?
But let me continue to bring forth the evidence.
Exhibit B...
WATCHTOWER, 15/8/1968, P494: Article heading -" WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOWARD TO 1975?'From the above quote my point is verified.'ADAM CREATED AT CLOSE OF "SITH DAY' Are we to assume from this study that the battle of Armageddon will be all over by the autumn of 1975, and the long-looked-for thousand year reign of Christ will begin by then ? Possibly, but we will have to wait to see how closely the seventh thousand-year period of man's existence coincides with the sabbathlike thousand-year reign of Christ...It may involve only a difference of weeks or months, not years.'
I said in the region of autumn of 1975 and here is the proof.
It may involve a difference of weeks and months not years.
......
If you need more evidence I have lots more.

Does anyone know what is in the '...' section before the last sentence?

Hold a second ok...
But in the mean time exhibit A.
This photocopy is really about the generation change in 1995.
But its significant realtes to the fact taht 1975 was said to be a marked year and since in feel within the 1914 generation life span it was implied that the end would occur around then.
I have more solid proof further down the thread.

Hold on a second i'll be right back.
okay, i thought since us apostates have been called bitter and angry and unable to see both sides of an issue lately i'd share a positive story about a sister in my old congregation.. this sister was my best friend's grandma.
she was in general just a kind sweet grandma type woman.
every year, she'd put together a "give away.
Rosco....
A POSITIVE story about the jws?

Until I recieve independant conformation for the entierty of this presented information I will continue to catogrize this document as propaganda bearing in mind that anything protraying the Watchtower Society in a positive light and especially appealing to the emotions sympthy/empathy cannot be trusted.
There are no references to source documents. The opposition is not adequately represented. The Watchtower Society was never once protrayed in a negative light while the opposition was catagoritically villified and it is quite apparent that the aim of the document was to involke sympthy/empathy for the Jehovah's Witnesses.
This fits my definition of propaganda.
An appeal to emotion without proper representation of facts.

in about 2 or 3 weeks i'll be stepping down as a ms and leaving the wts for good.
but before i do so i'm trying to prepare some information in regards to the 607 date and numerous false prophecies (predictions).
in particular i was hoping someone could give me some information on the following:.
Here is a link about pratical persuasion.
It may take you about 3 days out of you busy schedual to read the entire thing.
But I think that it may be worth the effort.

Not like i'm an expert or anything though.
But as far as I know witnesses dont usually care about false prophesy verses in the Bible.
You should know that that particualr issue is one of the first that witnesses are innoculated against so it really wont make an im pact.
If I were a witness who was stepping down the front page would have on the UN scandal because there isnt a comeback for that one. But with false prophesy theyll just call it 'mistaken expectations'.
Not saying that they wouldent be moved by reading photo copys of old watchgtower articles with 1975 and other dates set foward.
If you wanted verses about false prophesy all you have to do is randomly open the bible any where in the new testament and you'll find them.
But good luck though because you'll need it.
