  this is a question for those who know - i had a discussion about failed 1975 with jw and been told that wt never announced the year as the date of armagedon and that i will not be able to find it in any wt publications.

  i dont have the publications and can't check it myself.

  can anybody who have been in the organisation long enough or studied this question help me with it.

  It is not up to you to provide copies of their literature

  I need to have a bit of background, Chris. And I do need luck.

  Found it now. Thank you for the link, Transhuman. Really helpful

  Hi Chris,

  Thank you again. I am sorry to ask - what OKM stands for?

  Hello everybody,

  This is a question for those who know - I had a discussion about failed 1975 with JW and been told that WT never announced the year as the date of Armagedon and that I will not be able to find it in ANY WT publications. I dont have the publications and can't check it myself. Can anybody who have been in the organisation long enough or studied this question help me with it. Is it true that it was not published and if it was - where was it?

  Sorry if this has already been covered on this forum.

  Thank you

  Thank you so much DGP for the links. I have 2 weeks before I will see him. So, I have a bit of time to get ready.

  Thank you all very much for your replies. I hardly know anything about this organisation and every word from you helps.

  I can not say that I am a very patient person, but I will try hard and do my best to help this person.

  Chris, what questions do I have to ask, which answers I will probably have and how do I doubt and contrsdict them? I understand it should be based on bible and not just common sence? I have been reading on this forum that JW bible is translated the way to suit their doctrine and some lines are deliberately changed. I dont have JW bible, so it is a bit difficult to compare.

  Wobble, I do think that the main reason for this person is the contact with his daughter, I remember him saying that he wants to see her future children growing. I do hope this is the main thing and I feel so bad I did not do my research about this organisation 2 years ago, then I would have had more chances.

  Thank you again BP,

  That's interesting. The back ground story is - the close friend of mine did not see his daughter (JW) for the years he was inactive, explaining that it would be "bad" for her. Was it over-protection?

  Thank you for the answers.

  Black Sheep, I sent you PM earlier.

  I am a bit confussed. So, they can be inactive, but still allowed to communicate with other JW if they are not d/fed or shunned?

  Thank you Broken Promises,

  The person I am talking about was in for about 12 years, I understand a MS, time time out lasted for more then 2 years. What about door to door and taking part in congress and other similar things - is it allowed in this situation?

  Thank you
