Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses are the best known religion for the preaching work, but what about the content of the message. Have we not preached for decades that the generation who witnessed the events of 1914 and were old enough to understand the significance would not pass away until Armageddon came? Did we not preach door to door that Armagedon was coming in 1975 and then changed it to before the end of the 20th century. Many more doctrine that waschanged was preached door to door. We placed magazines that now contain doctrine we later dramatically changed.
WHY WOULD GOD LET HIS TRUE RELIGION PREACH FALSEHOODS FOR DECADES UPON DECADES? WHY WOULD OUR SALVATION DEPEND UPON OUR PREACHING THESE FALSEHOODS?

Yes, if you can, make a reservation somewhere cool that she will love and just act like you assume she is ditching the meeting.

Who Really Is The Faithful Slave? Really? W-7/15/2013
by apocalypse inwho really is the faithful slave?
i have, for some time, related to my family the underlying reason why the governors at headquarters (pg22p10) say what they say & do what they do.
simply put, they need to make themselves big.

Do you detect an underlying sadness ?
by Phizzy inwhenever i talk to jw's, and even in some of the jw official videos, i detect a definite vibe of sadness coming off these people.. i am very sensitive to "atmospheres" and to peoples emotional state, you wouldn't think so, because more often than not i do not react to what i detect, i just let people get on with it.. but i do get this feeling that they are sad, probably because very, very, very deep down they realise that it is all false, maybe ?.

I used to sit up in the front at the Kingdom Hall and I would turn around a look at the faces of those in attenance. The sisters, in particular, had sad faces, the brothers all looked very serious. I don't think anyone is truly happy. They fake it until they make it, I guess.

1975 - The Killer WT quote
by tim hooper inone thing is absolutely certain, bible chronology reinforced with fulfilled bible prophecy shows that six thousand years of mans existence will soon be up, yes, within this generation!
(matt.
24:34) this is, therefore, no time to be indifferent and complacent.

I was a young adult and a MS's wife at the time and that's all we talked about was Armageddon coming in '75. Those that deny we preached 1975 are deluding themselves.

Just received a phone call from bethel overseer and guess what?
by label licker inhim and another brother will be in our neck of the woods tomorrow from bethel which is and hours drive away and would like to know if i could meet them downtown.
i will be bringing with me the transcript to my jc but not the recording.
although there's names on the papers there's no recorded voices or my signature so there's nothing they can do as far as sueing me, right?

Dealing with JW family
by Laika ina little update on my life: a few months ago i was sure i was going to be disfellowshipped as my mum told me that my dad had reported my apostasy to the elders.
however, nothing has come of this so far in about 2 months and i am very relieved!
i am not sure if it was because the report to the elders was just an empty threat to scare me back in, or because they reported me to their local elders and now that i am a member of a new congregation those elders decided they couldn't be bothered to pursue me.

Yes, I am reading Steve Hassons book also. I went about things all wrong with my daughter. Should have soft sold ttatt. I thought she would see the BS of JW's clearly if I just pointed it out to her. Instead she took a defensive stand. Still hoping for a happy ending for all of us.
