How does the watchtower come up with it's dates? (607, 1878, 1914, 1975 etc)

by Sharpie in

hey folks sharpie here.. .

can you help me out to find out how the watchtower gets to the date 607 and is it used in the 1914 doctrine?

information about 1975 and other key years in the watchtower's history will be neat to have to, such as the date judge came up with involving the return of abraham, david, and others.

They pull them out of a dark, warm, moist place.

if not, then what the heck am i doing being a christian?

JWs ask- where are the F&DS?

by moshe in

i was thinking that maybe they must be, as the wt recently told the jws that following the gb was like following god (no mention of the f&ds).

can someone post that wt quote from a few months ago?

jws must have noticed that the faithul and discreet slave were left out and they will start asking- "where are they?

watson

Don't they get around the "faithful and discreet slave" thing by calling it a class? Ambiguity is their friend.

Nation wide protest on the shunning policies of The Watchtower Organization!

by koolaid-man in

on jan 21 and 22, 2011 a nation wide protest is being organized to alert people on the discrimination that is blatantly taking place in the watchtower organization.

the public needs to know about the disfellowshipping and subsequent shunning that is going on in the jehovah's witness cult.

this flagrantly heinous,wicked practice must be stopped.

JC question: Do you accept the FDS as God's organization?

by MrMonroe in

my wife and i had stopped going to meetings in april; in december of that year we travelled interstate and stayed with the witness couple who had "brought me into the truth".

we had already told them we'd quit meetings and there was a certain tension in the air for the first couple of days until sunday morning, when, over a breakfast that eventually lasted several hours, they began to interrogate us about why we had left.

had we been stumbled?

watson

I have been preparing to answer this question. I am thinking of answering this way: Well brothers, I am afraid it's worse than that. I am doubting my creator.

I figure that as long as I'm not critical of the organization, they'll back off...
