Welcome need2no, I always wondered the same thing, I always felt so sorry for the sacrificial lamb getting his throat cut and bled to death, I never really liked God much for doing that.

Farkel, thanks I just wasn't sure when the first Proclaimes book was published, the one I saw for sale said it was published in 1993, it seems like they would have been using this book long before 1993.
Aunt Bee, Yes, your right, they dismiss any thing that is critical.
Thanks for all the replies.

1995 for me, first my husband just bought the computer, then one night we did the Prodigy trial and wow, what an awakening, we stayed up till 4 a.m. looking all around.
It was then that I got hooked and have had a love affair with the internet ever since.

Great work Blondi, I can't believe they spend there Sunday meeting on sale calls. How in the world can the jw's feel they are building a relationship with Jehovah when it's all about going out in service to bring in new deciples?
Talk about a con game for getting people to sell the WT material, best game in town!

I guess all of us on the outside of the WT need to keep asking that same question to the jw's. Maybe one day something will click in their minds.
I know if I question my kids on this, they will know I'm being influenced by the devil and keep their distance. I can't take that chance, they hold all the card's, my grand-kids.

So let me get this straight
by TheICE ina web site called jehovah-witness.net where x-jw's and jw's who pretend to be jw's come to chat about how bad jehovah witnesses are and how they brain washed them etc, would it not be more productive to move on and forget than to let something most of you obviously hate take so much of your time and effort.. for some being a jw is about not being part of the world, what other religion is there that is as moral as a jw.
i am d'fed but i belive that jw's are the true religion.
sure some of them can be self righteous pricks but there imperfect just like anyone else,we all need to focus on us and not worry about what there doing because we can't change them.. .

hubert, yes, I have read both books, I wish I could just hand them over to my kids to read but I don't think it would go over to good.
jws, your right they did claim 1874 as one of their worng dates also. It amazes me they kept getting it wrong and everyone still trust and believes the WT.

ompaa, I was addicted to cigerettes, I used Chantx to help me quit. It was the easiest time I ever had quiting smoking.
The other day, on fox news, they said they are having good results with Chantx with people that have drinking problems.
Its by prescription and its costly, about $112.00 for a month. You take one pill for the first week then 2 a day after that. You can take it for as long as necessary to help you quit.
You can google it and read about it. I have seen it spelled Chantx and Chantix
Good Luck

The teaching is that Jesus returned in 1914 to begin his Second Coming or " invisible presende" in fulfilment of Matthew 24:3. Then in 1918 he began to make an examination of all the religions claiming to represent him to see if any of them had been faithfully and discreetly providing true teachings of the Bible (spiritual food) at the proper time during his absence. They say the only religion he found doing so was the Wathctower Society nd therefore Jesus appointed them over all his earthly interest in the sping of 1919.
Well back then the witnesses were celebrating Christmas and Birthday's. Smoking wasn't a disfellowshiping offense till the 1970's. The Cross, today the cross is said to be of pagan origin but, it was predominantly displayed on the front cover of every issue of the Watch Tower magazine up till October 15th, 1931.
Today these teachings are considered so offensive to God that any witness who believes or practices even one of the would be disfellowshipped.
If they are so wrong today when the Society doesn't teach them, they must have been just as wrong during all the years they did teach them.
If these teachings would fail an examination by Jesus today, they would have failed his examination in 1918-1919.
The watchtower religion stands or falls on Jesus decision back then.
This comes from the book Captives of a Concept
