Every year that passes by should be a SLAP in the face for the Watchtower

JH

Every year, a new JW calendar comes out, and I say to myself, the Watchtower should feel more and more stupid each year knowing that what they prophesized didn't happen once more.

I wonder what will be this year's theme written on the calendar?

Millions now living may never die - Oh Sorry that was in 1920 wasn't it. Er howabout 2034 a date to look forward to

The year text that showed me the Watch Tower was a racket and a snare was "If the fig tree fails to bloom . . ." 1974

So Jesus has a millenium reign....yet he was enthroned in heaven in 1914? When is he going to start ruling over his domain? What is he waiting for? Pretty soon the first hundred years of his reign will be over! lol

Wasn't that period meant for seperating the goat from the sheep?

Oh yea, they changed that

Actually every year that passed by since the end of the 1st century is a slap in the face for Christian apocalypticism in general.

Although for those who tried to revive it centuries after the original experience had failed more than one slap a year is probably in order...

"You guys don't get it! Each year that goes by just means we're one year closer to Armageddon."

(Talk about a one-liner joke!)

mungo, you are so wrong it's awful. It's the blind leading the blind . They are 20 years off on all their years as to when Jerusalem was desolated and Jehoakim ruled. Check history out.

Nothing like announcing yourself, eh?!!!

When I look back on it, they have told the truth all along, everything they apply to "Christiandom" is them. They've been telling us, we just haven't been listening or applying their information properly. Self (JW) scrutiny would have helped me alot sooner.
