those who have been aware and informed have seen this coming.. of course it's just the beginning.

80 reports seems to be only the tip of the iceberg.

reclaimed voices is expecting hundreds of cases more.

23 days ago, zeb posted this familiar but ever intriguing thread regarding 1914, the mother of all topics.. put youir [sic] thinking caps on.zeb 23 days ago this was sent to me from doug shields blog.

for those who like stats and numbers may find this of interest.1914 – recognizing the ”the elephant in the room”.

the problem with the date ”1914 ad” lays with the two calendars that are involved – jewish and gregorian.

this morning, my wife showed me this online article (written yesterday evening july 11, 2016) from dutch newspaper "trouw":.

to me, this seems to be one serious step further, and together with the convention bunker video's it will surely fuel the persecution-syndrome and expectations of the great tribulation even more than it already did!

How many killed by the 5 Cholera pandemics during the 1800's?

you all know jwfacts (run by paul grundy).

on this website, under “did the last days start 1914” ---> “pestilence”, it says:“during the 1800's five cholera pandemics killed around 100 million people.” .

there is no link to any source of info, so i emailed paul and asked where i can verify that total number?

Hello, I'm new here too!

hi everybody, 1st post here.

20 years jw, elder for 6 years, regular pioneer for 3 years, have always been following the 2012 candace conti abuse case with much interest, especially since the case suddenly disappeared from www.watchtower.com's news section (thanks brother j. r. brown, office of public information, because it led me to "worldly" websites for more info), leading to more and more dissatisfaction , leading to jwfacts, jwsurvey, ad1914, wtdocuments etc., leading to my awakening about 4 months ago, now fading faster and faster to zero meetings and zero field service...and you know what?

it feels good!.
