I guess the point in apocrypha chronology----if it sounds in anyway believable wait until the last minute to jump on, so if it doesn't turnout to be true,the time invested would be at a minimum.

19Was there a 1974 Franz speech and subsequent coverup?
by Nickolas infor those of us who remember it first hand, the 1975 fiasco is a strong indicator that the watchtower bible and tract society is not what it represents itself to be.
in the late 1970's, after several years of unprecedented growth, the wtbts experienced an exodus of disallusioned thousands which many attribute to the failed 1975 prophesy (see www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/1975.php for details).
the wtbts hierarchy subsequently played down the great disappointment of 1975, blamed its rank and file for having precipitated it, and has successfully swept it under the carpet.

Why I think Jesus spoke against Organized Religion
by sabastious inthis is going to be a short essay on a point i have been thinking about for a while now.. jesus explicitly stated in the gospels not to judge.
i think this a grossly overlooked statement from jesus from the witnesses and a lot of christian denominations.. judging could be defined as figuring out what's right or wrong for another person.
it's a pretty simple concept really, and jesus warned against it.. organized religion by definition creates doctrine and policy, some enforce them more than others (like the witnesses).. to create (or interpret) doctrine and initialize policy is to judge others.

So let's see WTBTS took the bible and put in an erroneous derivative of his name over 7000 times, but say that they are the only truth religion spreading his name?

There they go again playing the ventriloquist for their God. It is not up to any human to determine who has no hope, unless you are a judgemental son of gun.

Why did the WTBS endorse 1975?
by jay88 inis it not true that the leaders knew that it was a blatant lie when the 1975 teaching was propagated in the 60's?.

Belief in a delusion does not make it truth. The bible says that no one will know the day, so any date created is a lie.

Good apostate
by phoebed inguys, i have a little time and i wanted some advice.
i really like to be "good" and "super good" in everything i ever do.
i am kinda "perfectionist".

If you have a need to be super-good at something why would you want it to be anti-witness? How does a super-good witness transition to a non-witness? I think you care more about being relevant, than just taking the time needed to find out what your passion in life is. The WTBTS has taking a chunk of life away and the best we can do is be a uber-apostate?

It would take a lot from me to have the urge to pray,...when that urge comes I know that it's time to purge myself of thought.
It's hard to take my inner ventriloquist seriously!
