  it was the year 2011. remember that one?

  surprise, surprise -- it wasn't one of their predictions.

  it was from one of their competitors, harold camping.. "religious leaders sometimes predict tragic worldwide events to warn mankind and gather followers.

  I`ll bite RubaDub how did they get the 1922 horn-blowing in Cedar Point Ohio right ?

  My memory of that is when we went through the" Revelation" book as being fullfilled starting with those conventions from 1922 to to 1929 ,that had to be my start of of my questioning the religion ,I just could not swallow that interpretation.

  So let us in on the joke RaD

  Jeremiah 10:23 - "...It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step."

  i have been accused recently of "trying to direct my own step" because of my questioning the org and refusing to come back to the "truth" for the past 6 years.

  i personally still believe in god, i just doubt that he is behind the jw org, that's all.

  why is that so hard for jw's to understand?

  Well historically it doesnt appear that it belongs to Jesus Christ to direct his steps either since his enthronement in 1914.judging by his achievements or should I say lack of them since then.

  What the Org Teaches #8 "Jehovah's Witnesses" is Our Scriptural Name!

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  #8 "jehovah's witnesses" is our scriptural name!

  jehovah's witnesses are taught (and believe) by their hierarchy in brooklyn that the name of their religion is based on the bible itself.

  a little bit of research comprehensively reveals that the statement which was written in isaiah 43:10 about the jewish nation 700 years before christians appeared, has been corruptly and un-scripturally adopted as a "god-given" name.

  After that statement was made in Isaiah 43:10-12 nobody least of all the nation of Israel ever took up the name Jehovah`s Witnesses And centuries later when Jesus walked the earth he never chastised them for not doing so

  Regional Kickbacks to WTS for Conventions

  by Simon in

  i guess tax payers get to subsidize the conventions, who knew!.

  https://user-cb2rbzy.cld.bz/jehovah-s-witnesses-2017-regional-convention/4.

  no wonder they really push people to book through the congregation rather than privately, directly - it's all about the rebates!.

  Selling Sacramento, CA Convention Deal to Skeptical Public

  by dannyboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i live near sacramento, ca and earlier this week the local convention authority held a big deal press conference announcing a "deal" with jehovah's witnesses (see clip below).

  based on comments to local news media on their websites, more than a few people are not too crazy about the idea..... i heard an interview on a local station where the head guy [of the convention authority] was defending (sounded very defensive) the city's deal with the dubs, by saying "well, they'll bring hotel dollars, food dollars, and they'll be visiting all of our local museums, evening life, and entertainment attractions.....so the monetary impact will be huge for us...".

  specifically discouraged from doing any of those "extra" things..... hope those attractions aren't hiring more employees to handle the witness "crowds"........ also, during the interview, he said that the convention authority would be able to select the dates for the various conventions.
