for me, the dead giveaway is this.
jesus wrote nothing.. stop and think about that.. if jesus were the authentic messiah, his ministry would not simply be local.. his instructions, his mission, the details of his teachings would be too precious to risk leaving it in the hands of "men unlettered (illiterate) and ordinary (blue-collar yokels).".
jesus, were he the one and only hope of mankind, would be absolutely certain to write down with great simplicity and specificity the exact owner's manual necessary to rescue mankind.. never happened!.
How about that Slavery is never condemned by jesus or any of his "disciples" nor are women talked about as being equal to men.
I wonder if a few words from the son of god on those issues may have had any impact on the future suffering of billions of people?
I guess making poor people feel good about being poor was more important at the time.
those of you fading- with the memorial approaching are you going to appease family?
not going and making up an excuse?
acting like your going but not really?.
watchtower teaches that soon there will be a huge development that will be a sign for jehovah's witnesses!
5:3 the watchtower magazine, principle journal of jehovah's witnesses, writes.... however, just before that day of jehovah begins, world leaders will be saying “peace and security!” this may refer to one event or to a series of events.

Kinda funny how someone (paul, or jesus for that matter) giving out info about the end of the world would be presenting such general and completely ambiguous warnings and signs. Hard to blame any christian religion for trying to make sense of the nonsensical.
This is what happens when people take a work of fiction and try to make more of it that it is. Better off using Lord of the Rings as your guide to life.
post photographic evidence of dubs' false prophecies.
i'll start:.
the preaching work will conclude in the 20th century.
War and reports of wars. It of course getting much worse because SATAN is SO Angry knowing his time is short.
His motto is Rule or Ruin!

It's clear!! The End Is Nigh!! Repent Ye Sinners!!!
If you reverse the graph:)
i was just reading through some posts and had a startling realization.. the comment that sparked this went something like this: why oh why when i started into this in 1989 did i not research the history of the wtbts?
etc....... i too was studying and moving towards baptism around that same time.
i got dunked in dec of 1990.. my thought.
There already is little growth.
Last year the org had a net gain of about 118,000.
That is barely above population growth. Also much of number were kids of JW parents getting baptized. That is why we have the emphasis now (after over 100 years) that anyone not a toddler should be baptized (thank Tony the PTSD Morris.
follow case it may change judicial comittees

so i guess baptism is no longer the "mark for survival".. as a matter of fact, that key aspect of the 'old light' is not even acknowledged in this article.. they are just publishing new understanding without even bothering to explain the full extent of the change, hoping nobody will remember how it was... and they may be right about that..
I thought they specifically said that they were done with that when they condemned type/antitype interpretation
If you noticed they said that - but have continued on that line without stopping.
the memorial is on march 23 this year.
but all the official jewish calendars has nissan 14 as april 22!
april 22 is the start of passover!
have you ever been to a circus and seen a "clown car"?.
the little "bug" volkswagon drives out and clowns get out.
lots and lots and lots and lots of clowns!.
My question is - Who Counted?
And why is it always a round number?
Do Demons only come in groups of a 1000?
the memorial is on march 23 this year.

What would the Jews know about Passover over the WT org?
Not like they were the ones who invented Passover....
