Actually there is more to it than that. They were actually proclaiming twenty years prior, that 1914 would be end of this system, and Jesus would come and destroy the nations. When nothing happened, they said he actually did come, but no one saw him, it was actually an invisible return. They changed their teaching to fit their nonsensical false propehcy.

Jesus' invisible return
by poppers ini know the jws claim that jesus returned invisibly in 1914 (?
) - what is this based on?
how can they state that he returned; i mean if it was an invisible return then they are only stating a belief, right?

Is Islam a religion of Peace?
by Perry inhttp://answering-islam.org.uk/quran/themes/jihad_passages.html
the above link shows 164 verses in the koran that instructs the faithful to kill infidels.
in light of this, how can some still spout the mantra that this is a religion of peace and that it's only the "radical fringe" that are causing problems?

Im not 100% sure these writings have anything to do with God. Old men with overloaded testoterone levels who decided to write a book or two.

Interesting read. Another site to check out is www.prophetofdoom.net I have a good friend who is Muslim. He couldnt defend much that he was shown there. Just that there are fanatics who take things too far. Have a look at what the quaran says about woman, and how to treat them. Quite the eye opener.

Do Circuit Overseers Give Up Their Lives For Jehovah?
by minimus ini've heard for years how we should really appreciate the circuit overseers and their wives for all that they give up to enter the circuit work... do you think that's true?
?

Trust me, Circuit overseers get by pretty nicely. Before I dissasociated myself, I would visit my brother who has been a circuit overseer for years, and notice his top of the line Sony sound system, and dvd souround sound. I saw him once empty his brief case after he finished a visting a hall, and there was at least three hundred dollars there that he counted right in front of me. All of this while preparing to go to Spain on vacation for the second time in four years. Ya being a company man has its perks. Remove a few elders, ruin a few lives, and be a yes man, and you too can travel the world, on someone elses dime.

Just Re-Read 1984
by Francois inand i remember the days when the jws warned about the catholics and their "index" of books, movies, and plays that were denied to catholics as being "dangerous" to their faith.
that is to say, they were revelatory of the actual truth of a matter and the roman church did not want these truths spreading throughout the faithful.
now the witnesses are up to it to.. have you read 1984?

Hi Frank, I always enjoy reading your posts. Always very well thought out, and thought provoking. If you enjoyed 1984, you have to get your hands on a copy of 'The Orwellian world of Jehovahs witnesses. The "double speak", and "Thought crime, are so familiar with our favourite ex cult, its surreal. Geddy.
