Now for the actual answer to your question:
This was the book that contained the chart pointing to 1975 as the beginning of the thousand year reign. It was also released with the famous talk by Fred Franz that got everybody talking about 1975. No, Raymond Franz didn't write it, he wasn't like that at all. Fred was the delusional resident prophet type that would come up with this speculative false-prophecy nonsense. Today, his successor would be David Splane and his overlapping generation chart.

You Know You're in the Wrong Religion When....
by Vanderhoven7 injust thought a review the following material many have contributed to might be helpful .
you know you are in the wrong religion:1. when the all important question is not: "do you believe in the lord jesus christ?"....but....
"do you believe in the "faithful and discreet slave" appointed in 1919?"2.

When your leaders call themselves Faithful and Discreet in fulfillment of Jesus' illustration, but say that the part about the evil slave is figurative and could never apply to them.

New Store called Best Life Gifts
by Franklin30 ini noticed a recent post where it was suggested the store was taken over by hostile means!.
the person who posted it pretended to have knowledge of why the store changed names but clearly was operating with an agenda!
one filled with lies, misinformation and deceit!.

Sorry Franklin, but whenever we here a JW say something was done for "simplification and reorganization", it makes red flags go up because we've heard those lines before in less than honest contexts.

I was invited to address The Presbyterians at their church
by Giordano inso i was asked to give a presentation at the oxford forum which is sponsored by a local presbyterian church.
it's a very old church founded in 1758. it's way out in a rural area and if your interested here is their web site.. for a quick look at a beautiful setting: http://www.oxfordchurchlex.org/ yes this image is eye candy but up close the architectural detailing is pretty impressive............ there is no way you are going to confuse this church with a jehovah's witness soon to be closed kingdom hall.. the pastor told me that they would have 15 to 20 people attending my presentation about the jw life and beliefs.
it would start at 10am and end at 10:50. he would open the meeting with a brief prayer and welcome.

Great story brother Giordano. It gets me thinking: Maybe this is something that some others of us can do in our local area, offer to give JW q&A's at churches, those of us who are okay at public speaking and don't get emotional and angry. Keep it friendly and factual. I'd love to do this myself especially since I still identify as a Christian. But considering I'm still PIMO I'd have to wear a disguise and use a voice changer. I'd also have to walk there with my disguise in a backpack so my vehicle wouldn't be seen. I'm not even joking ☺

Pioneer School scare tactics
by neat blue dog ini just talked with a pioneer who came back from school and she said that at the end there was emphasis put on two things.. 1: stay loyal to the governing body and their teachings.. 2: beware of propaganda.
they said that in wartime the enemy will use propaganda to break the spirit of or confuse the troops.
they said the same things is happening now, so reject negative reports about the organization.. this pioneer (who is fully pimi btw and enthusiastic about it) said she asked her cotboe about if we really have that problem here.

She's pretty die-hard. Her husband is also a die hard JW, and is verbally and emotionally abusive towards her, often in public. As such she's very insecure, but also on edge almost constantly and assertive in an awkward way. She'd be one of the first persons to turn me in for apostacy. 😅

Special Talk
by EmptyInside inanyone listen to the "special" talk today?
i guess it was given by one of the governing body members and shown at all the halls.

To be clear: The special talk didn't have anything about money in it, just a basic Christian message for the most part (because it's for the public). What you're hearing about money just happens to be the Watchtower study for that week, the talk itself is only 20-something minutes.

As revealed in the Disney vs Netflix case, misuse of copyright law by the holder can even result on them losing their copyright if taken too far.
