  Dispelling JW Myths: Faithful and Discreet Slave

  by AuldSoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  matthew 24:45-51 who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

  happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

  truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.. .

  1874, 1914 and 1943

  by TD in

  1. jw

  a persistent meme that floats around on jw related internet forums holds that christ's second coming was moved forward 40 years (i.e.

  from 1874 to 1914) in the year 1943.

  (this appears to be based primarily on a statment in the book god's kingdom of a thousand years has approached on page 209 and to a lesser degree, a footnote at the bottom of page 133 of the publication jehovah's witnesses - proclaimers of god's kingdom.).

  that it's "jewel-ry"... and not "joo-lery" (may you all have peace!)?

  i know, i know... very small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.

  but, dang, if you're gonna host a television jewelry show, shouldn't you at least be able to say "jewelry"?

  @ Shelby - I just find it funny. I have pointed it out to him but it didn't phase him. So I just go with the flow.

  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

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.
