So when is religion going to fall...and I mean ALL Religion, East and West? Not all societies are secular. The WT looks at everything from a white western upper middle class perspective, but then again that's where they originated.

When will the "final message" be delivered to the world before the end? >>
by WingCommander init is my understanding, and i have always been told, that near the "end", during the great tribulation, the "final message," of jehovah would be delivered before all of the nations of the world, as one final chance of redemption.
and no, i'm not talking about the standard door-to-door preaching work, but a one-time only - final message of the coming destruction that was of to come right before the end, and it would cause the governments to hate the witnesses even more and cause even greater persecution, etc.
i was told this message would be the one final chance for any "inactive" or non-believers to ask forgiveness of jehovah and have mercy on them.

1975
by general indo any you ever remember the elders admonishing you to change certain behaviors, attitudes, and actions that could be considered a consience matter if it was stumbling another brother or sister...they always quoted a scripture "he that stumbles the faith of another will perish in gehena" (i think it goes like that...) correct me if i am wrong.. so i have been reading crisis of conscience and i am at the part about the 1975 debacle...my question is if " jehovah is directing the faithful and discreet slave (eka governing body, wts, etc) why would he direct them into making a colossal blunder on when exactly armeggedon was coming, thereby stumbling the faith of those in god and driving them away from him?
" in essence, its almost as if jehovah allowed them to drive the flock away, which according to the wts he is so "desperate to protect" hence the need for disfellowshipping and such.
yes, it can be argued it was the act "of imperfect men" but don't you think jehovah would have given them a flash of "new light" to correct the fallacy in their reasoning before the disastorous ramfications that occurred in 1975?

The Faithful and Discreet Slave are directed by Jah until it can be clearly proved that they were wrong , as in 1975 (and a whole bunch of other stuff) Then they become just imperfect fallable men, not prophets....gotcha coming, gotcha going. You can't win with these snake oil shysters.

Everything is going to happen "soon". When I questioned a JW relative about this they said a day with god is a 1000 yrs, so soon in gods eyes could be...who the **** knows. The next WT video should be called "Clueless"

Statistics you will not find in the annual report
by architect inwhy don't the wtbs tell us the number disfellowshiped/disassociated instead of saying "thousands"?.
why don't they tell us how much money was made in the annual report?.
don't they owe all this to the membership?

it's a crock of s**t. They read the accounts report at the service meeting because they (Watchtower Society) want you to give more. they read the account statement at asemblies for the same reason...more money...give now. They don't publish the Societies account reports anywhere because all the Bros. & Sis. would know how rich they have become by pretending to be poor and in need.

stilla, you're a smart lad, why don't you show those [edited by request] balls and stand up for your true beliefs instead of pretending, and worse yet, giving upbuilding comments at the KH. Help people get out instead of encouraging them to stay in.

Elder Conversation: Why Reform Won't Happen
by metatron ini had a nice conversation with an elder recently and it illustrates why reform of the organization is nearly impossible.
this elder.
is very aware of how bad things are becoming in congregations and he worries about his retirement.

They don't "think", they have lost their ability to do so. They would much rather do as the WT tells them. This is true of all "faithfull" JWs. I thought, therefore I'm out.

the old "religion is a snare and a racket"is coming home to roost. Thankfully more and more are seeing the WT for what it is...Whitewashed on the outside and decorated with pictures of hapy fruit pickers in paradise, yet on the inside decacay and rotteness.
