Yes, 1914 from a tree stump is wacky.
So is 607 BCE.

Jehovah's Witnesses: remembering the weird and wacky!

- venus may be an enormous jurassic park.. - germs don't cause disease.. - no beards allowed.

UPDATE: Wife Pretty Much Knows That I Don't Believe
by JW_Rogue inwe had a nice long talk and i brought up some things that make me think that this isn't the "truth" and she somewhat agreed with me.
i stuck with things i personally experienced or had knowledge of plus all the changes in recent years.
she agreed on a lot of the points but still believes in god and the bible.

"...the Watchtower Society had its own theory long before the asteroid ... theories. It appeared, appropriately, in The Golden Age of April 1, 1931 on page 428. In describing the planets of the Solar System they mention Venus by saying:
It will be very apparent to readers of Judge Rutherford's book Creation that the present condition of Venus is about what the earth was prior to the Flood, and it is significant that some astronomers have advanced the idea that animals like the dinosaurs that once roamed this planet are now finding Venus a happy place in which to live.”

Pandemic as part of Bible prophecy?
by truthseeker ini was thinking that since russell started the movement in 1879 which became jehovah's witnesses in 1931 never has there been a period in time when all their activities just - stopped.
especially the preaching work.. do you think they will find some obscure verse in daniel that talks about this period of time and try to make a greater fulfillment?
like the 70 weeks of years or the 42 months?

COVID has nothing to do with the Watchtower composite sign.... nor does it have anything to do with Matthew 24.

Is Bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding the prelude to the great tribulation?
by Disillusioned JW inis bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding a prelude to the great tribulation?.
full disclosure: i still don't believe in the bible's claims about the existence of the supernatural, even of jehovah god (i'm an atheist and a scientific/philosophical naturalist), but i am asking this question because recent events are starting to seem (to me) to fit well the description of some prophecies in the bible.
consider the following.. several hours ago (on 11-26-2021) as i was about to enter a local fred meyer store of my city (in suburb or small city in the metro area of a large city) a person i know told me that a moment earlier a person left the store in a hurry with a cart load up with unpaid merchandise (i think i was told it was groceries but i don't remember that for sure).

Has this been posted yet...like on another thread?
It must be true because it is narrated by Jeffrey Jackson.

A single Bible verse that explains everything—hope even to the disfellowshipped
by Abraham1 in"through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;.
through the fear of the lord evil is avoided.” (proverb 16:6, niv).
sin can be cancelled [yə·ḵup·par] by acts of goodness such as kindness [bə·ḥe·seḏ] and faithfulness, and sin can be avoided in loving remembrance [ū·ḇə·yir·’aṯ] of god.

@ Abraham1
Why does anyone have to know or believe anything about Jesus or Paul. Just do good works and be kind and all will be well at and after Armageddon - right? I mean, all are coming back in the resurrection because of what Jesus accomplished, so why do we need to believe anything about him or about God. Just carry on doing good stuff...no?
Sounds like Abraham1's gospel but not Jesus' or Paul's.
