  I found it interesting when I went to this link what the WTS said about 1975 in 1975, then 1976, then 1980. Quotes provided, not needed to link to Watchtower Online Library. https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/1975.php

  Go down to this heading:

  GB making their exit before the GT??

  by stephenlettclownface in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  did i misinterpret something or read something wrong?.

  did the gb say recently that they are to be dead or pulled out of earthly existence before the great tribulation?.

  if so, can someone point me to jw literature or a thread on this topic?.

  No, the WTS says the "anointed" left on earth will be gone to heaven shortly after the GT starts. Why the change. I don't know...maybe someone pointed out that if not all were in heaven, they would not be there for the marriage of Jesus to the Bride of Christ (all the 144,000 per the WTS). In the past the WTS "suggested" that some of the anointed would still be on earth after Armageddon to die a natural death. With several of the GB being younger, there is a possibility if the GT is close like the WTS says, some will have to die sooner than a natural death. Is that like the rapture? I think so.

  And even if the entity apologizes, the abuser does not admit guilt and apologize in public.

  Great answer and commenting:

  oogerMan2 days ago

  No, they don't threaten - they do it. ALWAYS!!!!!! It's the unforgivable sin in JW eyes.

  w06 7/15 p. 22 par. 14 - "Such conversations murmuring is often caused by Bible knowledge a lack of understanding of God’s way of doing things. The Creator progressively reveals the truth to his people. Hence, our perversion understanding of the Scriptures is bound to be reversed refined from time to time. The vast majority of the blinded Jehovah’s people agonise rejoice over such refinements. A few become like the Beroeans “righteous overmuch” and question resent the changes. Logic pride may play a role, and some fall into the trap of seeing the falsehood independent thinking."

  Blues Brother, I agree "Nb, I have got away with asking questions and expressing doubts before now but I have been careful how I said it and not gone around the congregation saying it. I guess they see me as harmless." I always phrased it so I was a person looking for an answer for someone I was studying with, "what do I say to them?"

  Would Watchtower Actually Murder Members Who Question the F&DS If They Could?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  imagine if the watchtower had their own country where they could do what they wanted.

  do you think they would actually kill people who disagreed with them?

  would the elders be willing to carry out the executions?what say you?.

  JW GoneBadan hour ago

  I wonder what it's costing WT to appeal this case...is a WT flunky lawyer involved or did WT source out the appeal proceedings to a pricy appeal specialist attorney?

  Yes, the WTS prices these out to non-jw lawyers, the WTS wants to win especially wants people who will see the "legal" aspects, not the moral, ethical, or spiritual side of things. WTS = Pharisees
