Do we have guts to keep UP the flame of truth

this was sad for me , the very moment i opened the site , this thread caused me pain ........... .

watchtower observer site goes down by norm ...... sad i am because this seems to be the defeat of truth , may be momentarily, but it is a setback , before judging jws and wtbts what they claim themselves to be , all innocent people should be given a chance to discover what was the past of the claims.... and that is why io am sad , this balance of information is being snatched away , .

i would like to suggest contribution of necessary money for keeping up the required 1000$ for a month.. i am ready for my part of contribution , knowing it well that what i mean will only be successful if we all like minded people join hands .... pm me if any thing of that sort is arranged for.... god and truth existed much before wtbts was even born .

hey folks,.

an era in the ex-jw history is over.

kent steinhaug's site http://watchtower.observer.org is being shut down.. it was the first of it's kind, and to this day probably still the largest anti wt site on the net.

I took the "1914 Generation" prophecy seriously. Did you?
by nicolaou in
1. watchtower

i was born in 1964, a convenient 50 years after 1914. even in my early teens i was doing the sums.

i had a worse case scenario figured out - if the 1914 generation could apply to babies and even if they lived to be a 120, i would still only be about 70 years old after they'd all died!

i figured that i was part of the first wave of 'jehovah's people' that really would live to see the new order - guaranteed!!

First ever posting

ok, i've been staring at post after post for hours, done weeks of digging on the web, without speaking to a soul.

i figure everyone had to start somewhere, so i just decided to throw it out.. i only recently came out of my "lockdown" phase (where you don't even speak about your feelings about "the truth") and have just started looking around.

i know you guys can see my profile, etc, but i had to post this and just ask for some direction.
