july 13 w.t my first reaction was amazement at how very muddled the whole thing was, i think if i had all those months to write articles since the noo lite was presented at the agm i could make a much better job of arguing the new ideas, and our very own sd7 could do even better !.

for instance, it is claimed in the chart, and the 2nd article i think, that the harvest began in 1914, by whom ?.

"Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."

Heartofaboy,

I have guilted myself before thinking I was ridiculing the coming just as the scripture that you quoted. However, if the coming is true, I am content to wait and work on my christian personality. My contention is not where is the Coming; but rather, why has WT been saying they are God's channel to mankind and the obvious fact is that they haven't hit the side of a barn with a tank with their expectations.

Having the WT organization blast that Armeggedon is imminent for 130 years, insisting that we not just "seek the kingdom first", but that the kingdom is the only thing that we should seek and it's done by placing literature, building kingdom halls, assembly halls, and branches all of which they have found a way to profit off of is nonsense. WT has had millions of people that have "listened" to their ramblings for over a century, but the scripture you quoted is not a free ticket to continuous speculation without your credibility shot.

Who is in charge of the Watchtower Society

by Gorbatchov in

the great topic of dogpatch, brought up my some thoughts about "who is in charge of the watchtower society".. first the character of the organization: since the foundation by w.h.

conley and the russells the watchtower society have ever been commercial.. 1. cooporation between businessmen and bankers: joseph, charles taze russell and william h. conley.. 2. exchange a small store chain for a more profitable business: religion.. 3. target group: anxiously, rich, white, mainly female part of population.. 4. using money making scheme 1: the watchtower society had to pay for the license of the publications written by russell, tower publishing corporation.. 5. using money making scheme 2: all profits of the watchtower society are invested in real estate.

offices and converence halls all over the world.

Does anyone remember letter from GB "end is imminent" around 2009?

by cha ching in

my sister remembers, hearing at her congregation, a strongly worded letter from "the society" that hinted that "we may not be getting any more letters from the society, as the end is coming soon.".

she thinks it was around 2009, or after.. anyone remember this?.

as a result of this letter:.

In the 1930's they would howl about a drought that affected the corn and tie that into imminent Armeggodon. In the late 60's the earth would be too unsafe to live. Yada Yada

The GB are a group of little minded selfish men who throw a tantrum when someone is not looking at them, so they have to make silly stories up. "Look at me, Look at me, Look at me", ...... As I kept intently listening to them I failed to notice that everyone else had left and I stood alone. No one bothered me to tell me they were leaving. I was the last fool. as I turned away, no one bothered looking anymore when they said, "Look at me"!!!

i'm just curious?

since i have become aware that witnesses are getting older and that the youth is leaving (well in western lands anyway), i have started doing counts by age group of the people sitting in the hall.

generally in the hall that i attend i have found that 2/3 are 40 and over while 1/3 is 40 and under.

I haven't gone in a few years to anything, but there were lots of singles, very few conventional families, many mentally unstable. The conventions were a sea of grey hair.

I do remember this letter or announcement. One elder at our hall said he had gotten word from someone at bethel about an announcement at the bethel table and he related the announcement earlier then we had the letter. He related it as if it were fact, it was just so encouraging. Ho-humm, nothing happened. This elder was always relating something as if he were in on the GB's meetings every Wednesday. Such a wanna be.

HOT OFF THE PRESS: ZO talk in Japan

by WinstonSmith in

this is literally hot off the press as in from about half an hour ago.. we have a friend from nz (who is wavering and knows our situation) and he is on holiday in japan at the moment.

today there was a zone overseer talk that he went to in nagoya (southern japan) and it has just finished up.

straight after the song and still in the stadium he emailed us the info below.

Oh, I bet the GB miss the fact that they can't brow beat the worldwide brother and sisterhood with their favorite child in Japan anymore. It used to be they used the Japanese as the benchmark of exemplary productivity, implying that the Japanese can have 50% pioneering why can't every other country? The answer was that you were just spiritually lazy. I remember packing my bags, we were going on a guilt trip when I heard these talks; well, evidently not anymore.
