amazing how Jesus and Jehovah "directed" all this information that got changed.
That's right. The Watchtower organization has been God's spirit misdirected organization since 1919!

Thank you Toblerone5 for the explanation. I didn't realize you were doing this in French. What a headache it must be. Smiles!

"...I remember the generation change...it went from being of understanding age in 1914 from being born in 1914..."
There was a another, smaller change in there too. At one time the 'age of understanding' was said to be "about 15 years old." That was later changed to being 10 years old, which bought Watchtower a few more years.
In those days Watchtower said you had to be old enough to understand that Bible prophecy about the last days was being fulfilled, at least have a very basic understanding of it, to be of the generation.
Then the age of understanding was dropped completely and it was being born in 1914 that counted. Of course that failed too.

@ Toblerone5
...he was never an Elder...
Sometimes I have a difficult time understanding your posts, so I have to ask, are you saying that Lloyd Evans was never an elder?

The Gospel According to Jehovah's Witnesses
by Vanderhoven7 inmark jones explains the watchtower gospel much better than i can.. "the good news that christians in the first century preached was the birth, death and resurrection of jesus christ; that all those who believed in him were saved and reconciled to god through the death of his son.. unfortunately jehovah’s witnesses) have been led to believe it is something bizarrely different.
the good news according to the watchtower society is as follows:.

Got it. Thanks.
Their ideas about the 'ending of the Gentile Times' are totally useless. Regardless of when the Gentile Times supposedly ended JWs were banned in Russia just a few years ago, and are banned in several other countries as well. How could that be possible if the Gentile Times have ended and God's Kingdom has been ruling since 1914 (or 1934)?
What nonsense they teach!

Vanderhoven7: Nor would believing or not believing in 1874, 1919 or 1934 affect that salvation in the slightest.
May I ask, what significance does 1934 play in the Watchtower belief system?

Remember Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass? His version of "Jingle Bell Rock," which is an instrumental piece, is also a favorite. (Alpert is the only trumpet player that I ever really cared for.)

Sandie:
1. Can Jehovah's Witnesses practice faith with the Bible as a guide, or is it crucial to include the teachings of the Watchtower Society?
The Bible itself has not changed in over 2000 years, but the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses have changed constantly from their beginning - the religion is only about 143 years old and is virtually unrecognizable compared to the early days (known as International Bible Students then. The name Jehovah's Witnesses came in 1931).
It's what the Watchtower Organization says that counts, not the Bible, but they will NEVER acknowledge this.
Vanderhoven:
You will have a great time here with Ex-JW Atheists, Agnostics, Jehovah's Witnesses and several evangelical Christians.
I love the mix. Getting different points of view is something that Jehovah's Witnesses are not allowed to do, per the directives of their organization's leaders (the Governing Body).
