  Attention Governing Body: October 2, 2014 is only 940 days away...

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in 1823, john aquila brown (a man who is not mentioned in any wt publication) came up with a bizarre mathematical calculation which totalled 2,520 years (in an unauthorized attempt to predict the end of the gentile times).... several religions recycled this bizarre calculation, including the adventists and the bible students... when armageddon didn't come on the variety of early 20th century dates predicted by several "dooms-day" religions of that time (including charles taze russell's bible students who predicted that the big a would start in 1914), they all finally realized that this 2,520-year calculation was nothing more than arbitrary mathematical speculation derived from erratic biblical extrapolation.... except for the bible students who continued to move up the date for armageddon 2 more times (1918, 1925) and then decided to use wwi as the starting point for the "last days".. all the while, one thing that seems to remain intact is the october 2, 1914 date.

  oddly, for the watchtower bible & tract publishing cult, this particular date still marks the end of the 2,520-year period (that john aquila brown referred to in his bizarre 1823 book "the even tide")... again, no mention of this in any watchtower publication.

  but, for jws, that date still remains the starting point for the period of time often referred to as the "last days" or even "the generation that shall not pass".. because of this, the governing body has been forced to change the definition of "the generation that shall not pass" countless times since the early 1970's.

  What does 2014 mean to you

  by NewYork44M in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sometime in the early 1990s i made a commitment to myself that if the end did not come in 2014 i was going to walk away.

  then i started thinking - if i waited until 2014 i would be 57 years old with very few options.

  that is when i realized that i needed to make changes to get my life back.

  This only happened because they eliminated the Daily Text prior to Field Circus. Had they considered the Daily Text, Jay Hoover's spirit would have prevented this perversion....

  This Jewish Tabernacle in New York City (161st and Washington Avenue) has been a Kingdom Hall / Assemby Hall since 1973...

  I went there as a child and was always quite spooked by it for some reason...

  Will the "SCANDALS & COVERUPS" subsection dissappear soon?

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  as of late, it appears that the watchtower corporation has been trying to walk the "straight and narrow" (so to speak) as there really hasn't been too many newsworthy scandals or coverups in the last few years (other than their usual doctrinal flip-flops, steven unthank, conti, and a few others).... also, they've done a lot of damage control in the last few years by spinning the events of 1914-1919, using the library card excuse, dishing out tons of "hush money" to the parents of child molestation victims, etc... with their ongoing scheme to bury their dark past, it appears that they may actually emerge smelling like roses once again.. so i ask: will the subsection "scandals & coverups" dissapear from jwn soon?.

  what say you?.

  Nothing in my neighborhood... I've asked my neighbors also...

  Maybe they did away with 100% territory coverage for special tracts...

  Besides, if the Witchtower can put at least 1 pair of boots in each country, that's all they really need to call it a successful worldwide campaign...

  I asked our COBOE who counsels elders...

  by stillin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i observed how they were always "helping others" by applying god's word and helping people to make adjustments, but who helps the local elders to see things more clearly?

  his answer?

  circuit overseers, of course!

  They don't need counsel. They are guided by holy spirit.

  Nightmares when active JW

  by MissConfused in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember when i was active, i would constantly get nightmares regarding armageddon.. used to wake up so many times at night watch my window, pray hard and try to go to sleep.

  now i wonder that this organization was really succcessful in making people scared to death about 'current system of things', but why would anyone do that?

  why would anyone want to bring division in families, make hate speeches, scare people to death, etc?

  New Outline: ELDERS MEET WITH REGULAR PIONEERS

  by pixel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the outline for the annual meeting with pioneers is out.

  it talks about the gb and fds a lot.. look at this:.

  those taking the lead have shown that they are not sentimentally attached to material things.. they are willing to move the world headquarters to warwick, new york, because it will advance kingdom interests.
