Does the WTBTS still control your life?

VERY ANGRY at jw for treating someone special to me/other women so bad
by VH5150 ini think that the way jw treats women is absolutely terrible!!!!!

how can the be so cold and insensitive to treat another human being this way for any reason and try to justify with the words of the bible.

The Privilege of Handling the Microphones
by minimus inone of the most unbelievable privileges that a brother could have was being a microphone handler.

maybe i'm thickskulled, but simply restating that it ended in october or tishri doesn't explain away my reasons for asking the question.
i'm only looking for answers about the date in 1914, and i'm not looking for the typical apostate replies that the year is wrong.. i question october/tishri being the end of the gentile times, and thus the start of jesus' reign, for the following reasons:.
