I remember meeting Glass back in the 90s. He gave the memorial talk at our hall. I was a young teenager in 84...and don't remember too much expectation or talk about 84. Must have been one of those things that circulated more in some areas than in others.

Do JW still hold to their 1984 Doomsday deadline?
by bytheirworks indid jw's predict the world would end in 1984?.
the september 21, 1984 issue of chrisitanity today on pages 66-67, ran an article entitled: "do jehovah's witnesses still hold to their 1984 doomsday deadline?".
that's as far as my search has gotten me and it isn't on chrisitanity today's web-site.. can anyone find this article for me?.

Sent the dude an email...another stupid article that JWs love. I hate reading these.
Here's what I sent him. His email is at the bottom of the article.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It would be good to do some research before writing a 'flowery' article about JWs...they are a dangerous group that break up families and let children die, refusing blood transfusions.
here's a good place to start.
Thanks

(not my real initials...but I have to stay extremely anonymous because I will be shunned by my family and friends if they found out how I really feel about the organization. They don't like members who do not agree with the "Watchtower Society" (even sounds like a cult) anymore. They LOVE journalists that write favorable, flowery articles about them! You my friend, gave them some good press. I don't understand why most newspapers don't have the guts to dig deep and write a real article)

Convention in Canberra Aus this weekend....
by Bells ini'm just wondering whether there is anyone on this forum who may have attended the convention in canberra this weekend.
all of my husbands family went and i'm interested to hear what was talked about - especially in regards to members who have 'fallen away from the truth' or references to worldy people.... i find that how we are treated pretty much depends on what articles have come out in the watchtower (study edition usually) and what talks are being given at the meetings - so knowing what is being said helps me to be prepared.... palso - unrelated but can anyone help me - is the teaching that the anointed will all be gone / dead / in heaven before armageddon comes?
if so, how do they teach that a is 'just around the corner' when the gb are still alive and kicking - as well as other anointed ones... just wowondering.

UPDATE: on the pirate publisher that was selling my book...
by Newly Enlightened inback in may, i had a friend email me after the release of our jwstruggle video and tell me that the book i wrote and had published was all over the internet and some of you requested that i keep you up to date, so here goes.. i hired an attorney to write the publisher a letter.
they stopped selling hard copies and the digital copies of my book but have still not sent a full accounting of how many of my books they sold and reimbursed me and are now ignoring my phone calls and attorneys letters.
so the lawyer suggested that since it is difficult to sue internationally, i call the local office of the fbi.

Advertising the District Assembly on the Radio
by RubaDub inis this just a local practice to south florida or is it done in other areas too?.
i'm driving to work last week and on one of the most popular radio stations (primarily talk and politics) they were advertising the district assembly in west palm beach florida for next week.. it was about a 30 second spot and was the typical "everyone is invited ... no collections taken" .... etc.
etc.. is this common in other areas ???.

That's weird! Never heard of that before...I did see a JW psa on TV about 5 years ago on very late one night, caught me off guard, thought it was so strange.
Wonder if they're testing something new. Do they actually think that would work? What 'worldly' person hears that ad and says hmmm I think I want to spend a summer weekend in an arena.

Something odd just happened when I logged on!
by tornapart ini typed in my name, password and the captcha, expecting to see my name come up in the top right corner and what i actually saw was someone else's name!
(the name was another member of this board).
i looked at it for a few seconds feeling a bit puzzled and not sure what to do about it and as i looked it automatically changed (whithout me doing anything) back to my own name.. has anyone else had this happen to them?
-
-
tresdecu
Yep...I had to see it to believe it. I just cycled through the identities of 3 other members. When I clicked on their name however, it changed back to me. I am sure it's a temporary glitch that Simon can fix with a few key strokes. Pretty odd though!

Why do the GB need a new Bethel compound if the end is so close? Here is the "official" answer
by sir82 inas most of us know, the society is spending 10's of millions of dollars on a giant, state of the art, secluded bunker country club headquarters in very remote, isolated warwick ny.. the question that "some" have is, why?
if armageddon is coming "very soon", why go to all that time & effort & expense?
why have thousands of jws dedicating their time to this massive effort instead of the "lifesaving ministry"?.

Ah just read your comment OTWO....that makes more sense, he can aim or use force field HS bubble, but the roads will be all jacked up. Got it.

So to boil it down, they're spending millions of dollars because Jehovah can't aim.
