I'm sure we'll find out more once this subject surfaces during the trial (which is inevitable). There is a possibility that this may become a bigger issue than we all think. Especially how Jacko responds during this phase. You have to look at the fact that MJ will be in a position of defending himself, not the WT. If he needs to degrade the WT to cover his own ass, he will. The only question is how extensively the media will cover this stage of the trial?

How would a JW handle this? 587 proved correct date for fall of Jerusalem
by confusedjw inso i put it out to you who believe the wtbts is the agent used by god's channel on earth based on the belief that in 1919 (3 1/2 years after the gentile times ended in 1914, per pastor russell) they were appointed the fds.. what if it was proved that not 607, but 587 was the date jerusalem was destroyed?
would that affect your faith?
would it matter that the teaching of 1919 turned out to be false?

How would they handle this 20 yr difference? Just add 20 yrs.
1914 + 20 = 1934!!!!
Which would mean we are due for new light on the meaning of "generation" in 1995 + 20 = 2015!!!
10 is the number which signifies perfection, when multiplied by 2 (making it 20) would mean emphasis (double) which proves that this is the perfect perfect new light coming from the FDS!!! Aren't we glad, brothers to be part of such a dynamic ever changing organization which dispenses food at the proper time??!!

You are right, they are right about a lot of stuff but they are also wrong about a lot of stuff. Same goes for all religions. Problem is, they want you to believe that they are right about everything. That's the biggest flaw of them all.

Opposition to this site
by Crumpet ini have only been a recent user of this site.
the other night i explained what it was i was spending time reading online some evenings when my boyfriend is out and tried to explain how it is helping me finally let go of the jw beliefs that i have clung to for so long.
i thought he would be pleased, but he got really angry and now is very difficult any time i try to use the internet at home.

When I was at bethel, the GB member Gerrit Losch was known for hanging out on one of the residential bldg roof in his speedos getting a suntan. He's from Austria. Not many ppl were interested in looking at his governing "body".

Soon Jehovah will move the world?s political elements (in the UN) to unite in efforts to expose and devastate the spiritual harlot Babylon the Great. (Revelation 17:15-17; 18:21).
Later in the article it states that an all out attack will be upon JW AFTER the destruction of false religion.
If the political elements decide to get rid of religion altogether, why would they leave the JW out?
Yeah right, the govts view the JW as a 'special' religion.
This is spiritual narcissism at its very best.

The more I look into this kinda stuff, the more I have the tendency to think that this religion and all other religions as well were put in place to deliberately mislead the masses and function as a diversion to prevent ppl from finding out what's really going on in the world.
