How Field Service Destroys the WTS

years ago, congregations all over the world were built up.

and solidified by the door to door work.

since all witness.

The young ones are NOT BUYING THE OLD PROGRAM! Last circuit ass. I was at, last year, only three young kids stood up to get baptized. This was out of 1000 people. Most the kids want to work together, if they HAVE to go door to door because they told me, they don't ring the doorbells! They really don't want to talk to any householders, about their personal reglious beliefs.

It works, don't ever buy a home where you see the stair case as soon as you walk in front door, or your luck will run out!

"The boys will just get druck! We better just keep that evil stuff away from them! Is what George Couch PROBLEY said.

It was 1973 brooklyn bethel. The summer of the international conventions. There were 10,000s doing tours of brookyn bethel the weeks before and after the convention.

Two 747s full of Spanish "brothers" went on tour at the factory. Armondo Maraquine took the leaders of the group on tour. At the end of the tour the head brother said "thank you very much we have a gift for you! this fine bottle of Spanish brandy!" then the brother said "we have one bottle for every bethelite!" "How can we get it to them?" "Well" Armondo said "I guess you would give it to George Couch [the head of the bethel home] He would be the one that would make sure every brother got his bottle." That night Armondo was in my room with that bottle of brandy, telling my roomate and me that story.-------------Well you guessed it, the 3 of us were the only ones that got a taste of that brandy.

I later found out that the guys in the Service & Writing Depts. were passing out FREE bottles of brandy to Elders in the local KHs.

P.S. we made $14 a month back then, the brandy was worth $9 a bottle. A quart a beer an a hero was the big splurge once a week for most of us, worth about $2.25.

1975

there has been much said about the watchtower saying that the end would come in 1975. i have never seen any evidence that the watchtower said the end would definitely come in 1975. if there was such evidence, there would certainly be little or no witnesses left today, i believe.

i do not believe that excuses the fact that they definitely put that idea in peoples heads.

i was 10 years old then.

"recently researchers of the bible have RECHECKED its chronology and found that man's first 6,000 years WILL end in the mid-seventies-a fitting time for Jehovah to usher in a sabbath millennium for his creatures."

[10/15/1969,p.622-623]

Your are right they never really said it.

"Since there is such a short time left, study NO longer then SIX months with a prospective convert"

[5/15/1969,p.312]

they never really give a date!

"...there are only about NINETY months left before 6,000 years of man's existence on earth is completed..."

[Our kingdom Ministry, 3/1968,p.4]

But they nevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvver really say it.

We were the problem, the damn JWS jumping to conclusions, again!

I think Hitler never really said "I will build death camps and kill all the jews I can get my hands on"

Connect the dots, thats how they taught us, fill in the different statments.

"are we to assume from this study that the battle of armageddon will be all over by the autumn of 1975, and the long-looked-for thousand-year reign of christ will begin by then?

possibly...it may involve only a differrnce of weeks or months, not years.".

truth from the WT [8/15/1968,p.499]

"True, there have been those in times past who predicted an 'end to the world,' even announcing a specific date...The 'end' DID NOT come. They were guilty of FALSE PROPHESYING...Missing from such people were God's truths and the evidence that he was guiding and using them"

the question keeps coming up here.. how could we have ever been a part of something so evil and sinister as the watchtower society?.

maybe its because we are evil.. joel

THERE IS NO EVIL.

THAT IS SOMETHING RELIGION HAS CREATED. SO THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE A JOB. WITHOUT EVIL THERE OUT OF WORK!

GOD DEFINITLY DIDN'T CREATE IT, TO GIVE HIM/HER A JOB, THAT OF FIGHTING EVIL.

THERE IS ONLY CAUSE AND EFFECT!---------KARMA

THERE IS NO ONE EVIL HERE! OR ANY WHERE FOR THAT FACT.
