  HOW to PROVE the ORGANIZATION misled, lied, erred about 1975

  by Terry in

  the march 15, 1980 watchtower article "choosing the best way of life" contains, on pages 17-18, a partial text of the talk.

  in modern times such eagerness, commendable in itself, has led to attempts at setting dates for the desired liberation from the suffering and troubles that are the lot of persons throughout the earth.

  with the appearance of the book life everlasting-in freedom of the sons of god, and its comments as to how appropriate it would be for the millennial reign of christ to parallel the seventh millennium of man's existence, considerable expectation was aroused regarding the year 1975. there were statements made then, and thereafter, stressing that this was only a possibility.

  oh man!

  i almost died reading this list from the private jw group on facebook.

  usually the posts there are quite nauseating, but this topic was priceless.

  ok, this isn't meant to sound sexist, just an observation.. did you ever notice that the ratio of women to men in the borg is like 3 to 1. .

  i find that strange.....

  Mama,
  
  Someone close to me went through something very similar. What I realized is no one else can understand what's in your head. By the response to your posts there is an awful lot of us who really seem to like you thus far. Always look forward, as that is what you can control. And keep posting!!!

  all those in the org who claims to belong to this class, are they just imagining it?

  this has always been one of the big proof for me that this was the "truth".

  that there actually are those who have the heavenly calling...it confuses me.... appreciate your thoughts on this.. have anyone in this forum, previously, claimed to belong to this group and can explain it, how it feels etc.?.

  Posted before I was through....
  
  Here is my take:
  
  He was very very successful in the organization.
  
  He was very very successful in business.
  
  He was very successful raising his family.
  
  He had a huge ego as much as he tried to be humble.
  
  What was left that he hadn't accomplished?
  
  I don't believe it was calculated. I believe he had nowhere to go or nothing to go after.
  
  I don't believe it was a conscience decision but rather a result of his being so tweaked in the head he really believed he was.
  
  He also admittedly did a lot of drugs years ago which may have contributed to his state of mind.
  
  His wife and kids are not happy about this!!!
