  Why do Jehovah's Witnesses lie to recruits?

  by jerome in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first let me say this.. i have constantly been hearing of the legendary honesty/intergity of the jehovah's witness for some time now.

  i have also been informed that they are the happiest people on the entire earth.. my problem is this:.

  when a jehovah's witness comes to your door and you actually decide to give them a few moments of your time they never give the whole story as to what you would be getting involved with when you join the watchtower.. case in point.

  Did your Church predict that the World would end within the region of a few months past 1975?...
  ...I have too much irrefutable evidence to the contrary.

  Ok, do you know any official statement that actually says the world is going to end 1975? I´d like to know where you can find that sort of statement. Yes, it´s easy to see that if the world would have ended in 1975, jw would have claimed to have foretold that. But did they really say the world will en in 1975?

  this has frustrated me for a while.... ok, pretend that jerusalem was destroyed in october 607 bce.. ok then, 1 year later it would be in october 606 bce, right?.

  and 2 years later it would have been in october 605 bce?.

  .... and 606 years later it would be in october 1 bce?.

  At the time that the Christian calendar was created, the number Zero did not exist (people where tortured and burned for suggesting it).
  The dates went like this: 3BC, 2BC, 1BC, 1AD, 2AD, 3AD...

  and therefor, when we now know that there is a year 0. The correct date when counting 2520 years from 607 bce, is october 1913?

  ...
  And 606 years later it would be in october 1 bce?
  and after 607 years we would end up in october year 0?
  (it´s the first year, yes, but still year 0 uh?)

  Is that correct? coz the witnesses says we would be in october year 1...

  Can anyone correct me here?

  If I am not wrong, the beginning of the end should have begun in october 1913...

  - august 22, 1967.. the links to those pictures are now dead, but i would really appreciate if someone here could tell me what was said in them?

  That article is unbelievable. I haven't seen anything like this since we read about nazi-Germany in school.

  And the way they are presenting it... Words like "evidence" and "certainly" will never have the same meaning again in any of their publications.

  quote from "The Truth That Leads To Eternal Life, 1968, p. 13":

  "Since we do not want our worship to be vain, it is important for each one of us to examine his religion.

  We need to examine, not only what we personally believe, but also what is taught by any religious organization with which we may be associated...

  ...If we are lovers of the truth, there is nothing to fear from such an examination."

  Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. - Albert Einstein

  Who is this "you know" guy? He doesn't sound like any witness I know. I'm not a witness myself, but my sister is, and a lot of my friends are. I respect them because they are very fine human beings, even if I don't share their believes.
  But this has to be a joke? Tell me he's not a witness...

  And to you Meow921: do you know how the witnesses can be so sure on the year 1914, when time itself isn't absolute?
