It's not the only cult that uses 'The Truth' as a name to describe itself or it's set of doctrines.

When JW's say they are 'In the truth'...
by Ron.W. inwhere did this phrase 'in the truth' come from?.
it's been around as long as i can remember.
is it from the time they were promoting 'the truth shall make you free' book back in 1943?

Making Friends with Babylon the Great: Watchtower’s New Goal
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/iv_uifab-qg?si=ttnajiuizmtqlte9.
it began during the last annual meeting of 2014 and now is trikling down to their watchtower magazines, this new "live and let live" attitude towards people of other faiths, or as they were known as babylon the great soon to be dead in the hands of god members.but it is a new different story, so let's read paragraph 15 from study article 15:.
"jehovah is kind to both the righteous and the unrighteous.

It's so well buried in a fluff piece that most won't notice any change. You will have to get your JW to commit to contradicting what it says before you show them the quote and then get them to explain what it means while you shut up except to keep them talking and keep them honest.

Links to articles would be appreciated. I always insist that JWs provide me with sources that I can easily find and I do the same for them when providing them with a quote.

Armageddon Car
by OnTheWayOut inhow many of you bought a nice sedan, suv, or even a minivan back in the days that you described as your "armageddon car" that you would care for and it would last until the end arrived?.
i was driving a 1974 plymouth volare wagon in 1992 when i managed to get an 8-year old buick century.
it was low mileage and had a very luxurious interior.

A friend of mine bought a high-spec. Cooper S,, boasting that he would never have to pay it off. He wasn't the only one in that congregation who bought cars and houses that they couldn't really afford.

I know quite a few couples, many my family, all in good standing, who have been married at much nicer venues than KHs. AFAIK, none of them were pressured to wed at the KH.

1974 and all that
by Number 6 inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xznh9icm1os.
i came across this footage recently whilst searching for something completely unrelated and it blew me away!.
it's from the august 1974 convention at murrayfield, edinburgh and you can clearly see the stage set up still keeping the 6000 years and 1975 mantra going.. what makes this very personal for me is that i was here.

There were different outcomes for The Great Crowd that survived the Big A and the resurrected, Look it up if you aren't aware of it already. The resurrected didn't get to marry, so if you died a day before Armageddon and got resurrected, your spouse was no longer your spouse and it would be a sin to have any hanky panky with them. To make it even worse, your ex spouse would now be perfect in every way, no wonky eye, no crooked teeth, no symptoms of aging, nice arse etc..
According to the literature of that era, Dubs on their deathbeds have a thousand years of some kind of non-sexual existence to look forward to.

When did you see realise James Lloyd Evans was a wrongun?
by usualusername1 ini remember him on this site when he was called cedars and had jw survey.. straightaway i noticed he could not accept suggestions.. the time i knew he was dangerous was when his group aawa added people to their fb group without their permission and were outed.. he refused to close the fb page (whilst celebrating 1300 members joining in a few days).
one member complained and was subsequently disfellowshipped, which could easily have been avoided.. three week's after launching, the fb page was closed down.
from that moment i knew james lloyd evans was dangerous.. when did you realise he not good?.
