There is a picture of the KM online where those infamous words were written. It says clearly it is May 1974. Maybe it was published in a different month in some countries."Yes, since the summer of 1973 there have been new peaks in pioneers every month. Now there are 20,394 regular and special pioneers in the United States, an all-time peak. That is 5,190 more than there were in February 1973! A 34-percent increase! Does that not warm our hearts? Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end." Kingdom Ministry May 1974 p.3 How Are You Using Your Life?

14A discovery concerning 1975 as I am going through old Watchtower literature
by lastmanstanding ini think everyone has heard about the video at the convention a few years back where an older ‘brother’ relates that “some were selling their homes” pre 1975, and it makes it look like the rank and file are stupid.
it shifts the blame to the r&f.
no mention of the km that advocated it.. and you have all seen the km that said it, and that it was the may 1974 km.. however, it was not.

I was privy to an irate phone witnessing conversation
by joe134cd ini happened to be privy to a phone witnessing conversation that my aged father was conducting, the person on the other end just climbed into him.
he got real nasty and my father ended up hanging up on him.
i could see that my father was distressed about it, but or course put it down to satan and persecution.

I must admit Im the same when i get a call trying to get me to buy or join something. If I wanted I will get it myself, i dont need people trying to persuade me that what their offering is the best.

Watchtower were very slow to embrace the internet. So probably while other businesses were arranging togoing online, Watchtower were busy warning their members about the dangers of the internet. They would have had no idea that Watchtower online would take over most of their printing.

The org has the whiole world to pick a good story from. Its really not that hard. Wont change the fact that they have almost as many leaving by the back door as those coming in the front door.

For anyone who takes the trouble to research the subject, it is far, far better to be living now than any time in past centuries. I was lucky I was born after WW2, so missed some of the bad things that happened then. So although there have indeed been reports of war, it is nothing compared to past centuries. Same for food shortages and pestilences.

I used to be a mini servant. They have to be seen as setting an example, and in my case two elders came round asking me why i wasnt having a bible study with my unbaptised son. So Im just warning you. But dont get baptised whatever happens otherwise they will have a very strong hold on you.

Most of that letter was just saying what the governments have been saying anyway. It sickens me that jdubs will think the org is taking care of them, when actually all the advice and rules are coming from 'Satan's governments'

Curious to know the Zoom attendance figures for for the memorial
by joe134cd ini’m just curious to know the local attendance figures for the memorial.
my father told me they had an attendance of 140. not flattering for a cong of 100 pubs.
i was sort of surprised at this considering the quarantine measures and everyone being forced to stay at home.

Any figures this year are not very likely to be accurate. I know the org still want those figures, but they wonr be able to do any bragging about increase this year. I suppose all they can say is that the memorial still went ahead world wide so that shows Jehooba is blessing his people lol
