so the end was going to come by 2000 as documented in the magazines back in the late 80's early 90's.. so how did they get the time off so badly ( over two decades and still nothing) since the gb is jehovah's earthly mouthpiece right ?

Watchtower 1989 January 1 p.12
"He was laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century."
(The 1989 Watchtower used the term "in our 20th century" in the magazine, but this was changed to "in our day" for the bound volume and subsequent CD library.
Armageddon(tm) came invisibly.
got something to say about the organization, the "truth", the gb, the witnesses, the apostates, life and quantum mechanics?
say it with memes!
let's create a repository of memes on this thread, new old and whatnot!
...and that means practicing Jobots
article from the last days newsletter (june 5-11, 2023).
it has been said that by reading the watchtower and awake!
magazines, along with other publications of jehovah’s witnesses, a person will receive, over a period of years, a considerable and broad education.. …would you like to grow in knowledge, obtaining an education of even much greater value than can be received in any college?
Tone- They want the rank and file to see this massively-reduced output as a blessing of some kind.
Where will they get their 'Spiritual food(tm)' now?
Blimey, surely not their awfully drab website?
Barnes notes and William Barclay commentaries are in plentiful supply if they decide not be bored by the relentless and constant browbeating of 'DO MORE' and 'GIVE US ALL OF YOUR MONEY'.

LV101 - Agreed. They really are utter filth. Not dissimilar to all our Politicians. Control and self service. I loathe them all!

In other words, 'switch the brain off, that Jehovah(tm) gave you, and instead, do obeisance to the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them).'
Where have I heard this before?
What a disgusting CULT the Watchtower Corporation(tm) really is!
i ran across this episode of jay leno's garage on youtube today.
all i know is it seems very similar to j f rutherford's much-vaunted 16-cylinder cadillac.
watch the episode and let us know what you think.
Last seen in Heaven in the book of Revelation................or was that the Arc (anagram of car).
No, that doesn't really work, Ark to Kar.
Oh, well I tried.
behold now is the accepted time.
behold now is the day of salvation.
if you had to do anything before coming to christ to be saved, then now is not the accepted time.. salvation is faith in christ and in christ alone.. jws must first have to prove themselves before they are approved.
I don't need to be told what to believe by people who think they and THEY ALONE, know best. Hubris 101.
I fear that sometimes the Bible is great fodder for those that don't want a proper job and want just to monetise the Bible.
I'm sick of these people that will pick a scripture out of it's original context and say, 'this means (such and such a thing), now.' Yes. Of course. It always does. Then it means something different to someone else.
Sigh!! Get a grip!
im not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.
while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.
lol.
Jan from Tam - Erm what's happened to Beaver?
Dammed if I know.
(Did you see what I did there?)
if you live in the northeastern part of the us, the air is filled with smoke.
