1975 failed prediction?

by Garrett in

jw
friends

heyo,.

your favorite garrett here.

so, i'm about to have an elder tell me allll about the failed 1975 doctrine.

I was at "a special talk" in Toronto given by a GB member before 1975. Like the Quebecois say and put it on their license plates Je me souviens. It means "I remember". The talk was at the old maple leaf gardens center,it was packed to the rafters and many couldn't get in so they went across the street and picked up garbage in a park until their buses departed, many remarked at the time " now wasn't that special witness for Jehovah".

All the bullshit predictions they say they never made were in that talk.

“We are not done yet!” – Candace Conti reacts to appeal court decision

http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/we-are-not-done-yet-candace-reacts-to-appeal-court-decision.

candace conti (pictured in her interview with abc) has spoken out for the first time about the appeal court decision.

as current and former jehovahs witnesses digest the news that watchtowers appeal against the candace conti verdict has faltered, albeit with the punitive element of the judgment reversed, candace has reacted for the first time by telling me: we are not done yet.. news spread on monday that the state appeals court in san francisco had upheld the $2.8 million compensatory damages in the original june 2012 verdict, but overturned the $8.6 million punitive award against watchtower.. the court decided that, though watchtower had neglected its responsibility to supervise known pedophile jonathan kendrick in field ministry, a church-sponsored activity, the organization had no duty to warn parents in the congregation that a pedophile was in their midst or report him to authorities.. an insightful report by investigative reporter trey bundy has suggested that the court reached its decision because the precedent set by the conti verdict might be too burdensome to enforce.. the burden would be considerable because the precedent could require a church to intervene whenever it has reason to believe that a congregation member is capable of doing harm, and the scope of that duty could not be limited with any precision, the judges wrote.. candaces attorney rick simons responded by pointedly telling bundy: they think in public policy terms that theres too much risk in broadening the churchs responsibility and liability so that it burdens what churches do.

Huge Shift in Doctrine?

by Lemonp in

i am not sure why more people aren't talking about this?.

- all unbiblical "types and antitypes" are now dropped.

Shifts in doctrine come and go in this cult. It doesn't matter! Rely on Jehovah LOL.

Thank God For Disfellowshipping!

by Nicola.threeangelsmessage in

i had the misfortune of being born into the jw faith.

however, i thank god every day that i was disfellowshipped otherwise i would never have found the truth.

good riddance to the watchtower bible track societys false publications, especially that book they claim contains the holy scriptures it is deceitful and full of darkness, and gets darker with every revision!

Accidental Posting of 2015 Release on JW.ORG

by rosesinbloom in

a couple of weeks ago someone posted that jw.org accidentally posted the 2015 regional convention release.

i can not fine the thread now.. i saw a picture of it yesterday.

a sister had downloaded the pdf and read it that night.. it is a 16-page brochure entitled "return to jehovah", with a purple background.. it has been designed specifically for inactive ones are those who have been raised around the truth but never baptized.

"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation". So true, but then again I'm not most men. Bringing out a leaflet like this, just screams how desperate they are.

This brochure (Returh to Jehovah) will be released on Friday afternoon at the convention.

I can hardly wait! Still looking forward to a couple of elders showing up at my door.

The 4 mill award in the grand scheme of things is chump change to a publishing empire like the watchtower. Publishing empires come and go and especially in the internet age that we all live in now. Just ask any magazine or newspaper publisher.
