Proof of the 75' incident
by iamwhoiam inok, am i correct in saying that the fds never stated armegedon was coming in 75'?
however, they led everyone to believe it was coming in 75'?.
if the latter question is true, can you provide links to talks or articles that point to this?

Thanks for all the input everyone. Very well put together.
Steve, I have been around awhile and have always been aware of the 75' issue. There are alot of new ones to the forum which makes for new thoughts and personal experiences on the matter, so why not post it? There maybe a take on it we haven't heard before.
Personally, every time I asked the elders in my hall or people that lived during that time about it...they always say, "they don't remember much about it", "they've slept since then", "there were a few that went ahead of themselves", and my personal favorite "it doesn't matter, that was all in the past....we need to worry about keeping in step with Jehovah's Organization now." That last statement meant to make others feel guilty about inquiring about it.
Also, I love asking people that were never around during that time or came into "the truth" after. They regurgitate the same robotic answers and like to tell you the story like they were there. They are under the dilusion that the society never mentioned the year 1975 and that people went off on there own to come up with that date for the end of the world. I find it funny how new ones in the org don't have access to the old books outside of the wt cd (post 1970 publications). Sure, the congregation library has older books for now, but if you start reading them while at the meetings, you will be questioned. They are only good for collecting dust (therefore creating more during the cleaning of the KH). This is why the internet is so awesome...the past doesn't die, it takes new life on the information super highway...it keeps them from forgetting, or worse, rewriting history.

The Money is Interest-Free, People!!!
by Yan Bibiyan ininspired by another thread on the "who are doing jehovah's will today", i did a little digging into the masterpiece.. pg 25. talks sbout khs and there is the revelation:.
"...they (khs) are built with donations made to a central fund.
in every kingdom hall, there is another contribution box for kingdom hall construction worldwide.

Yes. I love it when we have a remodel where materials to complete the job only cost about 6,000 dollars total (including food) and we ask for donations for double the cost. People get caught up in the moment and forget that labor is free. Then..whatever monetary surplus is left over, we donate it the the worldwide work via resolution (like anyone is going to say no). Also, no public announcement is made that we signed over the property to the Society in return for an inflated 0% loan.

Aug 12 Awake: Students who cheat are like a fake brand-name
by Listener inthis comment was found in the august, 2012 awake.
students who cheat are like a fake brand-namewristwatch that only looks good.
this seems a rather odd thing to say considering jws should not be materialistic.. generally most fake brands are copying expensive designer brands otherwise they wouldn't bother making them.

So Jesus didn't walk on water or turn water into wine...I knew it!!! :p
I AM JESUS! I WEAR GLASSES! DEAL WITH IT.
Sorry, but this guy really takes the cake. People believe him because he appears highly convinced that he is Jesus, without question. And if you don't believe him, he and his "followers" treat you like your crazy. Personally, I thought this guy was Jesus...
