Every morning when I walked to the train station, she and her pioneer friends would be standing on the corner offering the magazines. She approached me and I yelled "get a job" and kept walking. It was a few weeks later that she found out I was a witness. She hated me for two years. But got me back by marrying me. going on 19 years now!

Found this at the bottom of a box ..... not actual size
the wts have a history of false prophecies, including teachings that armageddon and the end of the world would occur in 1914, 1918, 1925, and 1975. .
most of us didn't see that the true point of authority was not the bible, but the watchtower magazine, awake magazine,ministry school and the ever-changing views of the governing body.
the word of god in the bible does not change and a prophecy that does not come true is not of god's doing.
There have been a few schisms in the Society. As was mentioned there were several between 1917-1927, all stemming from the JUdges illegal takeover of the Society and discarding most of Russell's teachings. At that point some 75% of the original BIble Students, those who worked closely with Russell left. During the 30s, there were smaller ones, with either whole congregations leaving or just splitting with people taking sides.
In 1909 there was a split over the New Covenant doctrine. Then again, many left when 1914 failed, some came back though.
In certain parts of the world, there were schisms that left the JW's in the minority and the "apostates" the majority. Although years later, those tides would turn with the WSociety's heavy witness and evangelizing efforts.
In Europe there are two groups of Jehovah's Witnesses, one following Rutherford, the other following the Governing Body!
