i know back in the day, that was taught, that if the parents were going to be destroyed, so would the children.
i just can't easily find reference to anything.
this thinking has been used to justify some egregious behavior towards children and their parents such as exclusion of children from jw family - why worry, the end is near, all will work itself out then - the end didn't come though.
at Armageddon ... parents will be held accountable for their children, and children will suffer for the failure of their parents.” - Watchtower 1968 Feb 1 pp.83-84
No wonder why our parents were so hard on us when we were kids ,dragging us to meeting and ministry as though there life depended on it .
w98 2/1 p. 22 par.
16 - "what of the dead who are resurrected on earth?...they also will have to love the name of jehovah, ministering to him, offering acceptable sacrifices......".
(daniel 9:26, 27) "and after the 62 weeks, mes·siʹah will be cut off, with nothing for himself.....and at the half of the week, he will cause sacrifice......to cease.
They both can't be right but they can both be wrong.
jehovah’s witnesses have an official page for clarified beliefs they encourage elders, ministerial servants, regular pioneers, as well as all the rest of the elite, to keep up to date with:.

2025 has a curious clarification:.
It's all about control.
It's what high control group do

the proposed change will revoke charitable status of canadian churches who have an anti-abortion position, and will not give tax exemptions to organizations whose sole claim is to promote religion, which is the basic claim for all jw related entities in canada.
this will be interesting!.

So do employees of company's pay tax to fund them and companies and corporations also pay taxes (some more than others) so why should religion's be any different?

Religions are a snare and a racket so they should pay taxes to help fund the health and social services in their country's. Instead of sitting on billions of assets.
rutherford wrote in 1925 "millions now living will never die"...they died.
he also promised that moses and david and all the old bible heroes would live with him in his mansion.
only he lived there till he died in 1942...100 years and not much changed..
Not eyewitness accounts, 2nd or 3rd hand accounts at very least.
You must be able to do better than that.

Provide evidence then to back up your faith as I requested if you can .
Does the bible say that you are to make a defence of your faith.
You can't use the bible to prove the bible.

Jesus said, “I am coming quickly!” Why are you laughing then?!
Can you please provide independently verified evidence that a miracle worker called jesus existed.
The four gospels accounts were written by unknown authors many decades after the so called events so not eyewitnes accounts.
Jesus at best was a apocalyptic preacher who was killed by the Romans. The End .
https://bitterwinter.org/czech-republic-in-the-footsteps-of-russia-jehovahs-witnesses-threatened-with-liquidation/.
czech republic in the footsteps of russia?
jehovah’s witnesses threatened with liquidation.
This well known jw apologetics Massimo introvigne seems more interested in the human rights of the jw organisation rather than the human rights of the individuals that have suffered and are still suffering even today.
Let's hope that the Czech republic aligns itself with the European union human rights for the victims of of this high control group.
speaking to the general public:.
frequently asked questions...is there a dress code?no.
however, jehovah’s witnesses try to dress modestly and respectfully.. meanwhile, speaking to members out of the other side of their mouth:.
Telling people how they should dress and groom themselves in public and in private is a abusive and controlling behaviour.
Unfortunately we were manipulated to accept this as a normal and acceptable practice.
Evidence of a high control group.
