how many of you here remember 1975?
i hope the newer generations never forget.the true believers got shamed for it.
those who were hedging their bets, fared much better.
I turned 16 in 1975, I remember that very well. If I bring up 1975 to my relatives, they gaslight me, telling me that it didn’t happen. I WAS THERE, IT HAPPENED. I remember Sunutko’s talk, “Stay Alive Till ‘75”.
At the district assembly in summer of 1976, Fred Franz came to the convention and pointed his finger at the audience. He said it was OUR FAULT the end didn’t come, because we were expecting it. I remember thinking to myself, You are a f##+ing liar.
for many years, since the mid 80s, marilyn zweifel manned the help-line.
several months ago, the help-line stopped due to marilyn's serious health issues.
marilyn was hospitalized a few weeks ago.. she has serious health issues and has suffered from 2 serious falls... she is now in a nursing home.
I spoke to Marilyn on the phone, what a kind, wise, wonderful woman. The phone number of 1-800-Why-1914 was a great idea.
this is a video i put together about what i see as the future for jehovah’s witnesses.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck_cghensao.
Wonderful, Sea Breeze! Please have your office manager get on here, and tell her story!
on a trip to rome a few years ago i asked my friend (who is roman and jw) what the catholic faith thinks of jw.
he simply stated that jw is tolerated by the church but that really not much thought is given to them.
is there an official stance on jw by the catholics?
True, Kaleb, they are legends in their own minds. They think the universe revolves around them. NEWS FLASH: It doesn’t.

Newbee, you are in the wrong place to be spouting this nonsense. Jehovah’s Witnesses are a cult, not the “true” religion. They are false prophets. This forum is for former JWs who are seeking validation for doubting this religion. Many of us have been mistreated by this organization. So go away.
after finishing season 6, episode 5, it occurred to me that, if the jws were right, (they’re not), the “new system” would end up being very much like this.
picture the commanders as the elders.. it’s a riveting series.
i wanted to see it, because i read the book when it first came out.
Yes, Sea Breeze, I agree it is dark. I do recommend reading the book first. I do like dystopian novels. This became a favorite of mine, and when this Hulu series came out, I had to see it. It is definitely for mature audiences.

Thanks, Blondie. I was thinking about this story.
‘jehovah’s witnesses told me i would die at 15 – so i didn’t save for a pension’.

I know a lifelong JW who never worked, but sold products through a MLM. Her SS payment is $600 per month. 🤷♀️

They even call their country Gilead.
