1914 is very important to the Jdub organization. They use this date as biblical proof of 'the sign of the times' because they struck it lucky with WWI. However, it is a misconception that the Jdub's originaly calculated this date. It came from Nelson H. Barbour of Rochester, New York who was funded by Mr Russell(The original leader) . They also use this date as a certificate of proof for the authority of the governing body. They quote some scripture (I can't remember which one, I'm sure someone here can put it in) in reference to the governing body being jailed on charges of being against the US during the war, and the subsequently released as part of proof of their legitimacy.
The 1914 date they calculate from 607. If 607 is wrong, WWI prophecy is wrong, the whole authorized governing body is wrong.
This is the problem with Adventist type religions. They base their premise on prophecy dates that don't exist. Russell was heavily influenced by 2nd day Adventists and liked this date stuff. He even used the 'God built' great pyramid at Giza as proof of the second coming. When the Jdub's promised the big 'A' arriving in the late twenties, they lost a huge percentage of followers in the early thirties.
The Jdub's will eventually see new light on this issue and change it. They will lose a huge percentage of followers. However, money rules, and I don't think they will disappear. Jdub's talk about the original growth of the organization as being Jehovah's spirit working. This is not the case. Mr Russell was a rich man who deposited a large amount of money into his misguided passion. When they lose massive amounts of disillusioned people, soon, you have to remember they are a publishing corperation worth millions of dollars. They will continue.

I feel so angry!
by Ellie in.
not really much point to this except i want to vent some anger but yesterday my little brother came round to my house for lunch, he is studying and living at the house of my jw sister, i myself have never been baptized so am not disfellowshipped but they all (with the exception of my little brother) treat me as though i where.. anyway, my little brother came round for lunch and the next thing my jw mum phones my house, asks to speak to my brother and gives him a telling off for being at my house because i'm bad association, and tells him that he has to spend more time with the members of the congregation.. he tries to explain to her that the members of the congregation don't want to know him, that he is sick of making an effort to be friendly with them when they just ignore him.. anyway, it finished with her telling him he is to go straight back to my sisters house and not see me again.. he is 24 years of age, surely its up to him if he wants to come to my house!.
sorry, i know there is no point to this, but i just wanted to let off some steam!

As much as I love my mother, she definately used to religion as a controlling mechanism.

15. Becuase it would be too close to Google and very simple to cut and paste
Think of all the misquotes used. Well it would be easy to check. The R&F would do this not to double check, but to print it as supportive proof of Awake statements. What a suprise they would find.

Think of it this way,
suppose the host didnt throw away the empty box but said, ' do you what to keep the one you have or exchange it for these two'

Yep, its called the monty hall problem.
By swapping you increase your odd of winning.
heres how:
Box A = 1/3 or a chance
Box B = 1/3 of a chance
Box C = 1/3 of a chance
By selecting box C you hold 1/3 of a chance of winning and the host holds 2/3 chances of winning. When he removes box A that he knows is empty, his remining box B still has a 2/3 chance of winning.
Box B = 2/3 of a chance
Box A = 1/3 of a chance

You're a contestant on a TV game show.
The host has three boxes, A,B, and C.
One of the boxes contains keys to the star prize, a car and the other two are empty
The host asks you to select one box out of the three
You select box C
He then removes one box he's holding, box A, which he knows is empty and then asks you from the two boxes remaining
do you want to keep your box C or swap for the box B.What do you do?
