Also if you are puzzling over the “overlapping generation” aka “one generation/two groups” teaching, hopefully you will find this presentation helpful. It is only 1 minute 23 seconds and you can play it on mute.

Dear JW,
On October 2, 1914--a hundred years ago today--Charles T. Russell announced, “The Gentile times have ended; their kings have had their day.” For almost 40 years, among other predictions for that year, 1914 had been looked to as the end of Armageddon, ‘false’ religion, and all governments, and the beginning of paradise on earth and the resurrection. Nothing predicted for 1914 ever came to pass.
On that October 2 morning, Russell said, “Anyone disappointed? I’m not. Everything is moving right on schedule!” Now a hundred years have passed. Confident predictions were made, among other things, about the year 1925, about 1975, about the generation living in 1914 never dying off before the end. A hundred years and still no Armageddon . Sadly, not one prediction made has ever materialized.
Deuteronomy 18:22 says, “When the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word is not fulfilled or does not come true, then Jehovah did not speak that word. The prophet spoke it presumptuously. You should not fear him.”
Were the Watchtower’s predictions “food at the proper time” made by God’s channel of communication? Or were they spoken “presumptuously”? Deuteronomy 18:22 is very frank advice that might make us uneasy. The question is: will we heed it?
If you are one of Jehovah’s Witnesses who has been wondering about these matters, there is no time like the present to begin a period of deep research. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 says,“Make sure of all things.” There is nothing to fear in such a search. The more a matter is examined, the more truth holds up to scrutiny, the more a lie crumbles.
But where would you begin?
There are many great websites out there.
Nothing can beat: www.jwfacts.com
And you might want to look at:
www.jwsurvey.org
Lastly, I'll put out my feeble effort: www.JWlove.org
JWlove.org is mainly a quick way to link Youtube video series that analyses the following subjects...
607 BC: http://www.jwlove.org/607bc
1914: http://www.jwlove.org/1914ad/
The Faithful Slave parable: http://www.jwlove.org/faithfulslave/
The Great Crowd and Other Sheep: http://www.jwlove.org/greatcrowd/
Whether door to door evangelizing is a Christian duty: http://www.jwlove.org/door-to-door/
Whether the Bible forbids blood transfusions: http://www.jwlove.org/blood/
And much more...
If you wish, you can link directly to the Youtube playlists here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnXY0-N67N4a5a8eKbar-iw/playlists
This website and video series should not be the endpoint in your research, but the beginning. Scrutinize everything...including the articles and videos on this website.

Leaving the JWs, experiencing Christianity and finding freedom! (But it took awhile)
by im_free inthis is my first post here.. i was raised in "the truth", and am an ex-bethelite who worked in brooklyn for several years back in the 90's.
a few years after i left bethel, i started to become disillusioned after doing research about the society and reading crisis of conscience (i know..i wasn't supposed to do that lol).
i eventually stopped attending meetings and going out in service.

They are ramping up the fear with this ditty...
Grant Us Boldness
(Act 4:29)As we tell about the Kingdom,
As we witness for your name,
There are many who oppose us,
And who try to bring us shame.But instead of fearing men,
It’s really you we must obey.
So we beg you now for your spirit,
O Jehovah, hear what we pray.CHORUS
Grant us boldness as we witness;
Help us overcome our fear.
Give us confidence and courage,
So that all the world may hear.
Armageddon draws ever near,
But until that great day is here,
Grant us boldness as we witness.
This is our prayer.Even though we may be fearful,
You remember we are dust.
Your assurance to support us,
Is a promise we can trust.Give attention to the threats
Of those who persecute and blame.
May you help us all to continue
As we boldly speak in your name.(Repeat chorus)
(See also 1 Thess. 2:2; Heb. 10:35.)

Facebook Rumor is Bullshit, Here's Why! Coming From "MyApostateTrial".
by BucketShopBill inthe watchtower told the elders cosmo rose and dennis black and eric macgufus whoall appeared on those videos, they were going to use the "full weight of the watchtower to remove those videos and take eric botorff to court", ask eric botorff if he has been to court to have his videos removed.
same thing with chriswilting and brother wally belt(a causality of meeting with eric, she said wally was deleted for having coffee with eric), each elder and former elder told my sister "we are working on getting those apostate videos down asap!
" it's been years since those videos, do you think the watchtower has any clout, if they did those videos would be removed, it's all bunk!
