  We are now 23 Years past Armageddon as the GB stated

  by JohnTron7 in

  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 ?

  *** jv chap. 28 p. 632 Testing and Sifting From Within ***
  Based on the premise that events of the first century might find parallels in related events later, they also concluded that if Jesus’ baptism and anointing in the autumn of 29　C.E. paralleled the beginning of an invisible presence in 1874, then his riding into Jerusalem as King in the spring of 33　C.E. would point to the spring of 1878 as the time when he would assume his power as heavenly King

  Ratty - The one who is not serious but pulling our legs said - The end was never forecast in 1914, 1925, 1975 or 2000.

  Oi, Ratty I know you're having a laugh with us. But any in doubt can have a quick a butchers at this

  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!

  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'.

  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!

  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!

  I find it interesting that after the cult people still hold on to religion....

  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.
