  The year the end finally came: the YEAR OF THE BIG LIE

  by Terry in

  you have to understand three things to comprehend the significance of 1975.. 1975 was the end of the watchtower society as we who lived in the 50's and 60's once knew it.

  it would forever change because it was exposed for all the world to see as a group of liars and deceived dupes.. it all began with a baptist farmer named william miller who sat down with only his bible and a concordance and a crackpot idea that a .

  a "day for a year" and the gentile times meant something profound which would effect his own day and time.

  Unrealized hopes and dreams - crappy reality of life

  by tartarus in

  2. beliefs

  i am thankful to jehovah's witnesses who taught me the bible.

  i still believe it is the word of god.

  i have studied other spiritual traditions and have compared different teachings and haven't found one that gives such a positive outlook on the future.

  The Friends Ain't So Friendly

  by StAnn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been thinking.

  a lot of posts i read here say things about how the jws are all victims; how people feel so sorry for them; how people believe that the jws they know are really good people who are trapped in a lie.

  then i read a lot of other posts about the cruel things the jws do, like shunning, ignoring df'd people on the side of the road with a flat tire, refusing to be charitable to their fellow humans, delighting at the impending deaths of millions of people, and blaming all of their coldness and heartlessness on the fact that they're just following orders from the gb.

  An Abstract Thought About The New Order

  by chrisjoel in

  just a silly thought.. throughout our reading of the old test.

  we are always pointing out that jeh likes to kill ppl when it suits him.

  he killed someone just for trying to steady the ark.

  You know, I've yet to meet a JW who can explain this

  by Lady Zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know that has probably been covered ad infinitum on jwd.

  so...... if jehovah is omnipotent, then there is nothing he can't do and nothing he doesn't know.. and, according to jws (as well as most other religions), god is love.

  therefore he had to have known, even before creating all of creation, what would happen.
