Thank you Splash. Just what I wanted. Clyde wants to show this to his friend who is a UBM. This guy has been married for 50 years to a woman who is still indoctrinated. It's hard to imagine how he managed to sit through the meetings all those years.

Almost 60 years ago, The Watchtower made a prediction that has proven to be amazingly accurate.
by Bonnie_Clyde ini haven't posted for quite awhile, just usually lurk, but thought surely someone would have noticed this on jw.org.
this was under the article about distractions.
i clicked on the article and below is the "accurate" prediction that the wt made back in 1958. this has to prove they have jehovah's backing, don't you think?

5 Concerning distractions, how does the world we live in compare with the world of Bible times? “Never in history has mankind boasted superior means of communication, high speed printing presses, profusely illustrated magazines, the radio, movies, television. . . . They bombard us daily with fresh distractions . . . Not too long ago, it was fondly thought that ours was ‘The Age of Enlightenment.’ More and more it is becoming ‘The Age of Distraction.’” These words were spoken to a group of students in the United States over 60 years ago. “Distractions,” said The Watchtower of September 15, 1958, “will likely increase as this world nears its doom.” How true!

You could ask your elder cousin if he can tell you why your mother's long term care insurance policy was cancelled. -

NEW LIGHT ALERT! TARGET 2015 END TIMES! EVE WAS CREATED 40 YEARS AFTER ADAM! THE END IS NEAR!
by Trailer Park Pioneer inthis is going around the kingdom halls now, i thought it was a hoax but are not all the end time dates produced by the organization some hoax or con?
the reason why the end did not come in 1975 was the watchtower society had not put eve's creation in their equation.
i was told when we had a "meet and greet" if "we knew the date of eve's creation we would know the year jehovah was going to destroy the earth.. it's been 40 years since 1975, can you believe it's been 40 years since "stay alive till 1975!"?

Long before 1966...I think it was late 50's, I asked a CO about 4026 and the 6,000 years. I asked if that wouldn't mean Armageddon would be over by 1975 and the 1000 year reign would begin. He replied that we didn't know how long between Adam's creation and Eve's. I thought that made sense, but Freddie decided to clarify things in 1966 with his idea that Adam could hardly wait until he had a mate. -

Will someone please answer the question that Bafh asked?:
My question is where are they buying the merchandise from? Directly from the society or from those companies run by JWs set up to "support" the mininstry by making all kinds of binders, folders, etc.?

Publisher increase for 1974: 13.5%!!
Publisher increase for 1975: 9.7%!!
Publisher increase for 1976: 3.7%!!
Publisher decrease for 1977: -1%!!
Publisher decrease for 1978: -1.4%!!
The most significant growth in the history of Jehovahs Witnesses took place in the runup years to 1975. To all you lurking Witnesses and apologists: Do you really think that such growth was accomplished by 'a few over zealous' publishers that 'read too much into the 1975 date'?
Thanks Sparky - I remember it wasn't until 1979 that the WT very casually admitted that they were just a teeny bit responsible for the 1975 fiasco--since their numbers were starting to go negative.
