What was actually printed about 1925?
by confusedjw in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i've seen folks reference 1925 concerning "end of the world" claims from the wt similar to 1975.. i've read quotes from the wt about "the 1925 date is even more fixed in the bible than 1914".

but what did they really say was going to happen?

something about moses was said i think.. can anyone with references post them?

What I remember from 1975
by Big Dog in

2. experiences
since i am sort of late to the party this has probably been beaten to death and if it has just kick this thread to the curb.

i was 11 years old in 1975 and i remember being scared silly the whole year.

i mean there was so much hype about it and the tension in the air was so thick it was unreal.

Anyone like me where you still believe in MOST of their doctrines?

2. beliefs
like i don't like that un involvment, record keeping.

i don't know what to think about the paedophile stuff, because you could accuse the catholic church of that too.

but apart from those things i still believe that god's name is jehovah, his son is jesus, no trinity, and he died on a torture stake... i love reading the new world translation, i believe it's the best one, but i love reading other translations too!

by jaredg in
1. watchtower
2. bible
my dad disaggress and backs it up by saying that god has always had an organization or his righteous people on earth.

it used to be isreal but when jesus came he changed that and established a new convenant/congregation.

he then goes on about matt.

Could JW's return to the "generation of 1914" teaching and still be true?
by booker-t in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was discussing the 1914 "this generation" doctrine with my jw mother the other day and she said something that made me laugh my head off.

i told her that the wts were wrong on this belief so why does she put so much faith in them.

she told me that jw's were not wrong on this believe but just back off being so dogmatic about it but that they still feel that the generation of 1914 will see the end come.

How did 1975 affect you?
by AK - Jeff in
1. jw
2. friends
i lived thru the 1975 fiasco.

many here did too.. on another board there was discussion about the way the congregations were before 1975. some thought that they were like small country churches in some ways.

we did our own work on repairs at the kingdom hall, like a family.
