Bible writers must be rolling in their graves if they saw how their writings were taken apart and mangled by the "spirit directed Organization". The Watchtower prides itself in getting ones 'tasteful spiritual food, nutritional", even! What stupid understandings have the Witnesses believed in over the years that show you they certainly do NOT have the "truth"?

It was ok for Jael to nail a man's head to the ground with a tent peg, but it's bad for a sister™ to handle a microphone in the hall.

That the trumpet blast in Revelation prophicied a series of conventions a small religious group called Jehovah's Witness would have almost 2,000 years later in a country that didn't exist.
I never did beieve that one.
It amazes me how self important the witnesses make themselves.

Hmmmm, prophesy!
The first one that comes to mind is the "king of the north". It was once thought to be the Soviet Union. Last I heard some were quietly speculating it could be the UN, Iraq, or Iran. I say it's Canada!

Yes! This was part of the beginning of the end for me. To think that all of human history was just a back-drop waiting for Jehovah's Witnesses' little mis-guided scenario to play out.................what arrogant ignorance!

Jesus came to inspect the world and found that the JWs (bible students) were the only lot fit to be chosen as his people. What a fairy tale, modern day JWs do not credit Russell with having the truth except on very few things, so how could Jesus choose his followers as his people?

My favorite is that only 144,000 go to heaven while the rest of the JW's and those "worldly people" who die before armaggdeon will live forever on a paradise earth. It's unbelieveable that I once both into that twisted logic. I now understand why people would look at me so wierd when I tried to explain that one in field service.

For me one of the dumbest is that Jesus prophecied that a "faithful and discreet slave" would give food at the proper time. No one can identify the "slave". Really. And millions of JWs follow the "slave" yet know not even how to get in touch with them.

Hmmm.......so many failed prophecies; so little space:
- The "firey" mountain that crashes into the sea and kills a third of all the creatures in the ocean, really represents the "firey issue" of God's Kingdom that came about after one of the wars......can't remember which one.
- The 3 1/2 days in revelation where the two witnesses lay dead on the street, represents the 3 1/2 years from 1914 - 1918 where the preaching work was dead (oh happy days!)
- Armageddon was going to come in 1914;
- Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were going to be resurrected in 1925;
- 1975 was really going to be The End. Better sell your home!
- We never said Armageddon was coming in 1975. YOU read too much into that!
- The Generation of 1914 will NOT pass away
- The Generation of 1914 will pass away. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
- The King of the North (Santa Claus) was going to wage battle with the King of the South (a resurrected Elvis).
- Some of the "annointed" will still be around with the Big Shew starts.
