JWs are sure to talk around this subject claiming that while it's true the FDS has made mistakes, they only have our best interests at heart, so it's alright.
To that I say, WHAT!!??

Need help waking up a JW friend - Significant prophetic years in JW history

by SweetBabyCheezits in

guys, i have a chance to help an old friend but i'm pressed for time.

i'll be googling while i'm waitin for responses but i thought others might have some great sources that are harder to find.. first, can anyone recommend a list or website that lists all the infamous years that russell and other leaders expected to have special significance?

it's been too long since i've read up on all of that but i'm thinking about the years like 1799, 1874, 1881, 1910, 1914, etc.... but i need it to be concise, like a table, and i must be able to list references to scans at least.

Excellent list! Thanks LWT and whoever put it together.

Like Franklin, I occasionly have gone to my kingdom hall library and verified what has been posted/quoted on this site from Watchtower publications. It's ALL been true. So far, ALL OF IT. If a year, date, page, and publication was given, IT WAS TRUE.

So, my suggestion? Lurkers/doubters, do the same. Prove it to yourself. If you don't make an effort to show yourself these things, then you are doing exactly what you've been taught as a JW. That is to just read and accept without further proof.

You want to know truth about JW lies/failed or changed predictions? Research. Prove it to YOURSELF. It's worth the effort. But don't just take my word for it.

Something the "Watchtower" left out

by Doug Mason in

the october 1, 2011 watchtower article when was ancient jerusalem destroyed?

includes the following statement.. .

there is also strong evidence from cuneiform documents that prior to the reign of nabopolassar (the first king of the neo-babylonian period), another king (ashuretel-ilani) ruled for four years in babylonia.

District Convention 2011 Observation - RE: Accounts

by dontplaceliterature in

did anyone else notice that they didn't read an accounts report one single time?

usually, this is read at some point, i thought.

i'm usually too busy working on some assignment during the convention to notice but this year i was in my seat for the whole program.

Crisis of Conscience

Interesting to bring this up. At one point when I expected to hear it, it didn't happen. And in review, I don't recall hearing it at any other time.
Makes you wonder.
