Is there any evidence that the WTS stated the 20th century would be the last?

by TTWSYF in

i know that other early dates are well documented leading up to 1975. it did seemed that the wts learned to stop setting dates, but i seem to recall talk about the 20th century will certainly be the last according to god's perfect timing.

i can't recall specifically where i heard such blatant rhetoric though.. anyone?

bueller?

From JW facts:

Awake! 1961 Feb 22 pp.5,7,8
"But then it also speaks of a group of people preaching about the righteous kingdom of God, a war of God against all wickedness, followed by a paradise earth without death - all to be realised in the twentieth century. ...
That now-operating kingdom in heaven will, within the twentieth century, cleanse the entire earth of wickedness. ...
Revelation 16:16 calls it the "war of the great day of God the Almighty," Armageddon. This war will come in the twentieth century. It will come right on schedule, as have the wars, food shortages, earthquakes and other events foretold. This generation will see its fulfillment."

1975 Research (sorry, even more!)

by Splash in

here's a document from the time, which exposed 1975 as it was unfolding.. i've also attached a document which is an unstructured collection of 1975 observations, reasoning on the wt teachings and comments, and looking at how they republished certain books with changes to hide their 1975 teachings etc.. if anyone fancies sorting through these they might find a new angle not previously considered.. however the bottom line is that there is a ton of evidence that wt were pedaling 1975 to the masses for years.how they try to turn around today to pretend otherwise is nothing short of hypocritical cowardice..

Thanks for your story Perry !!

Splash awesome work, really interesting and nice to have everything in one file.

Want to read a surprising comment/complaint posted on my website about JW's encouraged not to have kids. Who would have thought!

by AndersonsInfo in

http://watchtowerdocuments.org/did-you-know-having-children/#comment-474.

here's the short article found in the "did you know?

" series found on watchtower documents, and, underneath it, is the unusual comment:.

WHATSGOINGON

Thanks Barbara.

I found this quote from the article disturbing

Bernice, a Nigerian, has been married for 19 years and remains childless by choice. For the past 14 years, she has served as a pioneer. As she approaches the time of life when it will no longer be possible for her to bear children of her own, she feels no regret about devoting her life to disciple making. She says: “I feel happy to see my spiritual children growing up. Even if I had children of my own, I doubt that they would be closer to me than those I have helped to learn the truth. They treat me as though I were their natural mother, discussing with me their joys and problems and asking for my advice. They write letters, and we visit one another.

Thats crazy talk, how can you not be closer to your own flesh and blood, your own children that you brought into the world !!

New JW Talk Show - "The Inside Story"

by neat blue dog in

has anybody seen the new half-hour jw talk show called the inside story?

the pilot is included in part 2 of the latest gilead graduation program, and they said more will likely come.. basically, it's probably one of the most cringeworthy programs to ever come out of jw broadcasting.

it has all the tropes: an opening monologue, a studio audience, a live band, and guests that move down the couch to the left as the next guest is introduced.

WHATSGOINGON

Hi Neat Blue Dog

When I first posted about this I thought that cringeworthy is the perfect word, yes its funny how we both used it lol !!

Maddox v Integro USA, Inc, et al

by Richard Oliver in

i know that this is old but going through and posting about every lawsuit that i can find in this decade with watchtower either good or bad if it has not already been posted.

this lawsuit was brought in the federal district court for the eastern district of louisana.

it involves a family whose mother had died at a district convention in 2011. the mother, patsy, was descending stairs at the convention which was held at the mitchell center in mobile, alabama when she fell and was fatally injured.

I believe it's called Theocratic Warfare.

Doe, et al v National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA.

by Richard Oliver in

this is a lawsuit brought by watchtower against an insurance company.

the company provided four insurance policies between 1989 and 1993. the policies were there to pay out any liability damages that would arise during that time from any damages caused by elders and mss advice.

there were a number of exceptions that were spelled out in the policy which included that of a sexual nature and that if an elder or ms violated a law then the payout would not qualify.

What makes me sick is that they are so sneaky with all their different corporations using anything legal to wriggle out of any sticky situations they find themselves in, they use legalise to avoid obeying the superior authorities which stand in place by God.
