I heard this as a jw kid in the 80s. I believe the persecution talk damaged my mental well being.

53"The Bunker" WT Conventions 2016 (Gag Me)
by Poztate inin the very near future the gang will be down in a bunker,cellar awaiting the police,military to break in and take them away to camps or executions .
(paranoid much) this is the foretold "prophecy" of the governments turning on religion and saving them for last.since the couple portrayed as simplifying their life by getting rid of a lot of material things is shown to be (about) the same age in the bunker we know it must be any minute now that it will happen.
i have been out for over 35 years and things seem to be getting more bizarre each year.. when did this doctrine really become main stream?

It is now official: Another falsified Watchtower prophecy
by ILoveTTATT2 in"jesus was obviously speaking about those who were old enough to witness with understanding what took place when the 'last days' began.
... even if we presume that youngsters 15 years of age would be perceptive enough to realize the import of what happened in 1914, it would still make the youngest of 'this generation' nearly 70 years old today.
" awake!

Divination in a congregation in the early 80's?
by purrpurr ini was recently told by a jw relative about a congregation in the 80's i think in the uk but i'm not sure.
this cong got involved with divination big time, like the whole cong pretty much.
oujia boards the works and the branch had to go in there to clean up the cong, about half the cong were df'd and the whole elder body was taken down and replaced.. this is news to me, can anyone shed some light on this?.

I heard the same story in the 80's but it was a congregation in Edmonton Alberta. I think fits just a jw urban legend. -

Are the Mormons and Jehovah's witnesses owned by the same corporation ? Way too many similarities to be coincidence. -

They can't truly be themselves. They can't speak freely with fellow Jws in fear of being reprimanded. -

Lennon and McCartney could so easily have been writing for the Watchtower...
by The Rebel inin fact just like the watchtower, i've no idea what they were writing about half the time.
all that rubbish about " i am the walrus" and eleanor rigby keeping her teeth in a jam jar or something, and what "lucy the in the sky with diamonds" means i do not know!
anyway, i mention the above because shortly after i quit meetings, beattle loving brother, ian x also, stopped attending meetings, and i watched him transform himself in to a, scruffy bearded, hippyish, beer drinking slob, ( translation a great guy) .

I think Eleanor rigby was Paul's song and I am the walrus was johns. At that point in thief career they were pretty much writing indepandant of each other but the songs we're still credited to both writers. -

Eleanor rigby kept her face in a jar by the door. Not her teeth.
