It is absolutely amazing how the members hold to 607 with the plethora of factual information showing otherwise...it is simply astonishing.
How long did they think the date was 606? Then they realized the 0 year existed? ...please. 😔
good link to forward to 'friends' or family, mentioning the 587 dates on the tablets.
i know these tablets have been found before validating 587 bce, just more evidence.. http://news.yahoo.com/ancient-tablets-reveal-life-jews-nebuchadnezzars-babylon-174318332.html;_ylt=a0levu5funju.lga0rannilq.

we're all familiar with the organisations claims (and have seen the flow diagrams in books and mags) that the gb is "directed by god".
in turn, the local elders are "directed by god".
so, how exactly do they suppose this happens?
C'mon fellas...we all know they vote on 'new lights' and if 2/3 of them think it's good, then it is solidly from God! 😉
Very sad there is no transparency when it comes to their decision making. I mean, if the apostles saw fit to write their deliberations over the doctrine of circumcision, then why aren't GB meetings recorded in the same detail...Surely, they decide on far lesser issues.
Look how they press on with Warwick, despite being uncertain on Jehovah's will for the project. Great use of donated monies, no?
reference the link below to the national weather service in apologizing for falsely predicting the severity of a series of storms.
i wonder if watchtower society will ever apologize for any of their countless false predictions.
********"the northeast was supposed to have been crushed by a much-hyped winter storm today, but it failed to deliver that widespread blow.
Can you imagine how people on the east coast would have felt if the weatheman above had blamed the public instead? To top it off, he does not even make the predictions in God's name...
When will the WT apologize? I wouldn't hold your breath...😔
on the book of hebrews, the believer's bible commentary says regarding those who leave the jewish faith:.
"now when a jew left the faith of his forefathers, he was looked on as a turncoat and an apostate (meshummed), and was often punished with one or more of the following:.
disheritance by his family.
You are likely correct Wonderment. Very un-Christlike display is shown by the witnesses. When you think about it, JC never had a record of shunning anyone. In fact(something foreign to witnesses), JC did just the opposite...eating with those who had strayed. I believe this gave those lowly ones strength to turn around.
I am sure their absence of empathy from the witnesses and disdain for those who leave comes from a lack of accurate knowledge. They believe and buy the myths that have been delivered in the publications and from the platform.
Perhaps the Lord's example should be the overriding example, rather than cling to Paul's admission in Corinthians?
uh, i'm speechless... is this the same religion against tight pants, colored socks, df etc...?.
i think i'm in two religions... .
this video also looks very familiar, did they steal something from the apostates?
......they should be out there where the "need is great" spearheading the work.
remember now, the preaching work belongs to the annointed, other sheep are just helpers.
the gb especially should be out there doing it.
i have noticed something even long before even looking into ttatt, something about morris bothered me.
i am personally very attuned to body language, facial expressions and general subtleties in human interaction.
there was something about his face that really bothered me, and i will explain it.
I completely agree. He shows his arrogance and feeling of superiority with this lip movement. He is incapable of preventing this.
He does the same thing when he speaks of tight pants to an audience.
After inferring that the fashion industry is run by no one but homosexuals, he poses a leader question of "Don't you know they love it when you wear tight pants?"
The audience will instinctively laugh or chuckle and then he retorts with an air of dominance with "You might think its funny...I think it's disgusting!" It is there you notice this lip sneer. Perhaps Tony has some skeletons in his closet on this subject?
Anyone else feel he looks down on the 'common man' when he does this? Sad the control they have. 😔
john ekrann, a helper to the gb, revealed the true reason for the change was protecting jws from apostates and other "anointed" christians.. see: http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_e_201501_2_video (around 4:55ms).

I think they are 'tweaking' the old prophecies towards a new date that will be given to them (by God of course...who else) because they are losing so many out the back door. It just gets tiring, does it not? To hear the same things twisted over and over again, in an attempt to justify their hopeless dates.
Past truths turn into present truths and this will soon be replaced with future truths...that you can bank on! I mean, who are they kidding? Who deals with truth this way?
Who here thinks they come up with a new date this year?
hey everyone!.
i live in victoria (canada).
anyone in my area?
need a list of people like cain, lot, david, etc who did things they should have been put to death for but jah forgave, excused or turned a blind eye to.
thanks for any info.. .
Nicely done, RedPill. However, a frontal attack like this typically makes them shutdown. However, you need to send him these. Perhaps one day something will make him reconsider. I know it did for myself.
I find it sad to see what 'Gods Sole Channel' of communication does to families. They will have much to answer for one day, no?
Keep us posted.
