Does anybody else think that if the Watchtower were to go broke, the last article they would print would say it's because they are finally in the Great Tribulation and this system will end within the year?

2005 - The year the Society began its decline (without anyone noticing)!
by cedars ini've just finished an article for randy over on freeminds.org, which i've submitted to him for review.
hopefully it should be online soon, so please keep checking!.
the article discusses the fact that the watch tower society is already in decline, and suggests the year 2005 as the turning point.

People leave the Org but don't drop the doctrine?
by Momma-Tossed-Me inthis deserved its own thread.
one thing i have observed being able to speak freely to individuals now about the wtbts is that even though they fade, they hold one to all or a portion of the doctrine.. if you examine the doctrine openly and fully you will see it has as many holes in it as the org does.
although it may appeal to you it doesn't make it sound scripturally.

I left for doctrinal reason. I always said that I became a Witness because I learned the truth through the bible and when I did actual research and found out the holes in their doctrine and their dirty past, I decided to leave. It took me a while cuz hey, it's a cult and it took a little while to accept that the Witnesses were wrong. I loved every bit of it but I reasoned with myself that I converted because I thought they had the truth. Now that I've learned that they were wrong, it would be hypocritical to stay.

No no no. You misunderstood! Jehovah is our savoir THROUGH Jesus! It makes perfect sense.

Do the Jehovah Witnesses break up families?
by trailerfitter inthe answer is yes in my case.
for some of you wonderful people on here will remember i asked a few questions and was concerned about my wife becoming a jehovahs witness,...well, she is baptised now and fully fleged (committed).. i have been called possessed by satan , mentally ill, a schitzophrenic and was beaten emotionally and mentally.
eventually i had to leave our house after 2 years of this situation getting worse.

I have a friend. When I met his mom for the first time, I told her I was a Jehovah's Witness. She told me she studied when she was younger with her parents when they lived in Florida. She said they had to stop because her mom was more responsive than her dad and the Witnesses were trying to break them up.
Sick people we have in this world. I'm sorry you have to go through this. -

When I was talking to a sister she said "evolution makes no sense because it's impossible for everything to come to be from one little bacteria." Because the universe being created in a week out of nothing by an invisible man makes SO much more sense.

Who really is the Evil Slave
by Nambo innow matthew 24 was written about the end times, which i do belive we are fast approaching, (as opposed to 100 years ago), at verse 48 we read of a religion that isnt a false religion for it has been classed as a slave of the "master" who is jesus.. now this evil slave has two identifying features i wish to ponder, it considers jesus arrival to be late, this implies a religion that has set an expectation of jesus arrival at a certain time for said non-arrival to be considered delayed.. it also beats its fellow slaves or religious brothers as a result of this delay.. .
the first point, which christian religions have been waiting for the masters arrival for such a long time that they now consider him delayed, obviously delayed from the time they where expecting him.. .
having read crisis of conscience and read accounts of annointed who have been disfellowshipped or beaten by thier fellow slaves in the organisation, and especially over the 1914 doctrine which ties the being beaten to the delay.. can you think of any other christian religion that fullfils the criteria for evil slave more than the watchtower society?.

That depends. Can you really call the Governing Body or the Watchtower in general, "Christian"?

Even the Witnesses know they're running out of money. They don't want to help anybody out by making it easier to have just one website. At the Assembly I went to last month, there was a talk. And the speaker gave everyone the most surprising advice ever given. He said the least used publication in Street Work is actually the bible. What a shocker. And also, to stop just handing out magazines cuz most of them end up in the garbage. Try to start bible studies. The organization wants people to stop wasting their products. They're closing Brooklyn Bethel and opening another in upstate NY. They might as well come out and say "We're losing money. We're cutting costs."

Kristina, just tell them you're an apostate, or straight forwardly say "Do not come back ever", and you'll be put as a "do not ring".

In this week's book study, when talking about the Stoics, the brother said "The stoics believed in logic and reason. As Jehovah's Witnesses, we do not want to use logic" I think that was the most idiotic sentence said on the platform.
