1/ The end of this system issues 2/ The sign for the end of the system i.e Earthquakes/Famine/Pesterlance/War What other claims can we test to see if they are true?

Open mind

Have you read much about Cognitive Dissonance?

For someone deep in the bowels of Cognitive Dissonance, there are NO JW issues that can be disproved.

But once a crack appears in that dam, then it's like shooting fish in a barrel, IMO.

The endtime issues and signs are basically interpretations.

You have to ask yourself, who is making these interpretive calls?

The WTS bases it's claim to authority on an appointment supposedly made in 1919 and cites a parable that means something different when viewed in context. It says NOTHING about an organization, it's about how each of us uses the resources we are endowed with.

1919 is based on 1914, a date they cling to but misrepresent what they used to teach about.

1914 is based on pyramidology, a pseudo scientific method of establishing time lines which involved measuring the Great Pyramids and using a "year for an inch" formula. They were still teaching this as of 1919 and for some time thereafter until it was decided that it was unsupportable. They then pinned 1914 to the year 607 BCE which is a thoroughly debunked date but it was the only date that made their time line work.

When you look at these foundations of the Tower of Cards, you see that they obviously have no business interpreting scripture regarding endtimes, middletimes or even anytimes at all.

The foundation crumbles and everything else becomes a moot point.

Of course no dubby worth his salt would let himself think down a line that lead there, they are self policing.

Hope this helps.

I feel that the signs Jesus was referring to were those specifically in the Middle East or the area of the holy land. If you recall the abomination (digusting thing) that causes desolation was present in Jerusalem that they should flea. And history has it that Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman army just like Christ foretold. Therefore in parallel is has to be in the holy land that this takes place. It is written that the nations will trample upon the holy land for 42 months. Has this not be happening in this time?
