the new midweek meeting has been running for a month now.

How the Bible disproves the JWs' 1914 invisible presence doctrine.
by Island Man in
1. watchtower
2. bible
watchtower teaches jws that christ's presence began invisibly in 1914. they also teach that the start of christ's presence coincides with the start of the last days.

whether you believe in the bible or not, watchtower claims these teachings come from the bible.

so does the bible actually agree with them?

until 1990 they were a straightforward publishing business with the tremendous advantage of free labour in production and free distribution agents.

since then they've been relying on donations for literature to keep the old model going.

The Watchtower is not invincible
by Coded Logic in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
despite claims to the contrary, there's no guarantee the watchtower will be around in a few decades time.

and it seems to me there's ever mounting evidence that the opposite may well be true.

but it's not just that recruitment is down and their defectors are up.
