  Watchtower August 15th 1935 - "...the greatest of all tribulations mentioned in the Scriptures must come after the great multitude appears and must be that which is mentioned by Christ Jesus as “tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time.” That tribulation period began with the “day of Jehovah”, to wit, in 1914, when the war started against Satan’s organization in heaven, and reaches the great climax at the time of the battle of Armageddon, the great day of God Almighty."

  110 years - and counting!

  Other denominations claim the great tribulation is only going to last for 7 years.

  Rutherford's writing; he liked the phrase 'to wit'

  He should have said 'half wit'

  The watchtower taught that the "great tribulation" began in 1914 until 1969 when they changed the belief to the great tribulation starting at some future point (but with the lifetime of the generation of 1914).

  I wish I knew how to get my family out of this cult. If I gave them that quote they wouldnt read it and would run screaming.

  ONCEBITTEN:

  Since I wasn’t raised a Witness, I cannot imagine what it must be like for anybody who desperately wants to get their family out of the JW religion! Even though things weren’t all peachy in my home to say the least, I had somewhat of a ‘normal’ childhood and don’t feel the deprivation that some raised in the religion have.

  I cannot imagine the heartbreak of shunning from loved ones. Strangers in the hall? Couldn’t care less. But, a loved one I would mind. That’s why I’m glad I had no family there that these evil zombies could use against me.

  I wish you all the best in finding a way to free your family from this terrible trap.

  The Great Tribulation Jesus spoke about occurred from AD 66 to AD 70 after which the surviving Jews were dispersed among the nations.

  @VH7 And two thirds of evangelicals believe it is more than that.
