WT lawsuits - Gog of Magog - Coalition of Nations - Courts of Law - Bankruptcy
by truthseeker inwhat if the society know it only has to lose one big case to lose a whole set of cases on precedent of the first case?.
this means they will lose millions of dollars in lawsuits and settlements.
which means their financial stability is under threat.

Didnt Babylon the Great fall in or around 1918? when the WT leaders (at that time) were released from prison? I'm sure I've read that in a WT book sometime over the last 25 years.

Welcome Andrew,
There are lots of ways to count time without having to talk too to many people when recording time, Not technically lying, just making the most of the time in the field. Walking very slowly, coffee shop, RV on the other side of town that you know most likily wont be home, etc.

I've been stumbled.
by silent ini just realized that all these dates that the borg have said the end would come on or by and then it didn't happen, have stumbled me.
why such a fascination and trying to divine the answer from scripture when scripture plainly says only the father knows the day and the hour?
by their predictions, they actually sent many christians on the path of date-based worship insted of faith-based worship.. if they have stumbled me, then who is reponsible for that?.

Also this warning that Jesus said would happen in the last days:
Luke 21:8 (NASB) |
8 And He said, “See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not go after them.

Great scan.
Top of pg 15, "A fantastic 17 percent increase in crime over 1967." Why is that fantastic?

Since the average JW is not able to verify this statement from the 1969 Awake, it is easier to dismiss this it as a lie, and then forget about it. Beside's, we are now living that much closer to the end, that we should be faithfully following the GB's warnings about how close we are to it now. No time to think about a career in this system of things...

i thought all the embarssing books were supposed to be thrown out?
by purrpurr ini had a look in the library last meeting and my hall still has all the bound volumes going right back to the beginning.
including studies in the scriptures.

Before our rebuild, on one of the weekend cleaning rosters, we did a sorting of any double ups of books in the library to make room for newer books, The elder in charge that day said I could have these extras for my own personal collection. They were mainly WT volumes from the 60's.
Which are now all boxed up in my shed, LOL.

Our KH had an impressive collection of the older books once. It covered one entire wall in the same room that TMS 2 was held in, and there were more boxes of books stored away in the the KH shed that weren't on display. Then came a rebuild of our hall, and now one devoted room to be called the Library. I was looking forward to this, with plently of room for all these books to now go on shelves. When our new hall was completed, a visit to the new library was the first thing I did, and guess what, not one book to be seen. I was shocked and disappointed, (maybe they havn't set up this room yet?) there was now a large table with about 8 chairs in the middle of this room and a laptop with printer on another table. Also a lot of empty cupboard’s (some locked), and in the end 2 cupboards were about 20 of the most recently released books. I hope the impressive library of books we once had have not been throw out. Hopefully they are boxed away in the KH shed waiting for the time that one day they will be available for all to read again.
