i hope this is in the right area.
i've been studying the 2520 days/years 607/587/586 debacle.
for a while now i have felt 1914 was wrong.
The WTS heads wanted something significant to sell about 1914 as in the return of Christ so they lied and spun numbers creating dates which weren't accurate and honest thinking the common laymen wouldn't examine closely to what they had done, they were partially correct about that to a certain extent.
They were in fact corrupt devious religious charlatans , they still are.
we all know the scripture where jesus says 'this generation will by no means pass away before the end will come'.
the jw interpret this as the destruction of the jewish state in jerusalem by the romans and the dispersal of the jewish people.
however, while researching the history of judea, i come across various facts about the region.. so jesus died about 30ce and his disciples were likewise well in their thirties or older, the 'generation' by definition would've lasted until ~50ce (the time during which children are born and raised to have children of their own).
The men who wrote the story of Jesus decades after he died lied.
Jesus Christ was the greatest god that mankind ever invented .........Period !
or do you think trump actually won???
?.
or the vote count was 99% accurate and Biden did win legitimately
sometimes jws wonder if the wt/jw is not the truth, 'then where else are we to go?
' i say 'why not atheistic/scientific philosophical naturalism and why not a secular philosophy which teaches a way of life?
' what do you folks say?.
How about the real Truth based upon scientifically acquired knowledge through cultivated evidence, in a all out effort toward intellectual honesty ?
a man named a, j. miller, who lives in queensland, australia, claims to be jesus.
i saw it on a youtube video of "60 minutes australia, he was formerly a "jehovah's witness minister" according to the video.
he has bought a large tract of land, with the help of his followers.
Hey I proclaimed I'm Jesus, he's stealing my gig !
What a screwball delusional imposter.
or do you think trump actually won???
?.
Biden and the Democrats stole the election fraudulently because Trump said so and D Trump never said a single lie in his time as the US President.
awake!
"if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.
There is no question or doubt the WTS back in the 1960's were lying and deceiving people with its expressed doctrines, using world events to validate their doctrine of the end times.
There shouldn't also be any doubt that they exploited their proclamation that god had chosen them to dispense spiritual food at the proper time as they proclaimed.
The workings of devious men proliferating their own publications to the public.
The WTS publishing corporation has been in the business of creating delusions for over a 100 years and still enacts itself upon that manner to this day..
i also was intrigued by the russellites and the break away sects that formed before and after charles taze russell.
i can only imagine what the bible students were thinking when rutherford became the next watchtower president..
I think the biggest shock of what the WTS was selling back in the early 1800's was Pyramidology and what 1914 was first suppose to mean.
Then how J Rutherford took over the WTS after Russell died, the roots of the organization's corruption were certainly laid when he took over the WTS.
awake!

Its both shocking and disturbing how the WTS had so much control over people's minds back then.
I know I was there.
Lying corrupt religious charlatans hyping and bullshitting to gain more coverts and increase their literature circulation.
the thread about old timers got me thinking about trends i see with the watchtower.
i've changed my opinion about where the organization stands.
when i joined the religion in 1973 it was dynamic, even the small congregation i attended sent out three or four pioneers.
A definition of the JWS religion = hyped delusion based upon ignorance.
The GB gurus still do propagate fear such as what they did with this virus problem, that's about all they've got left the end is near or we are at the end of the end.
