Has WT actually drafted an End of Days tract?

i heard in years past that there was such a tract planned for the great tribulation.

my father at the time denied this, and reasoned that that would not be a loving thing for them to do, to essentially say, "told ya so!".

last year, the bunker videos had brother brown mention "a message of judgment".. has such material been drafted or is this just another bluff?.

@Simon that figures. Part of me wishes they would, however.

When The Persecution Comes

by cofty in

when i was young everybody used to fantasise constantly about how brave we would all need to be "when the persecution comes".

we worried about what "they" would do to us and how we would never talk or betray other jws.

psychologically it was a damaging environment for children; but maybe that's another topic.. who would have thought that when it finally came it would take the form of being sued for protecting pedophiles.

@stan livedeath

Why not? I mean, it is just a big bluff.

If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?

by stuckinarut2 in

it is an often asked question i know, but it perplexes me.. if witnesses are so convinced that they have "the truth", why is the act of researching information from external sources so taboo?

didn't the bible itself tell people to "use their powers of reason" and also praised ones like the boreans for researching things they were told??.

seriously, if there is no doubt about the organization being "god's channel" on earth, and it alone having the "truth", surely researching would only enhance such 'facts'?.

Makes you wonder just how the f**k Rutherford ever got mixed up with the JWs in the first place.

"Money? Power? Booze? LOL Sign me up!"

The bunker videos make even less sense when you consider all the bad knees and backs and obesity present among Jehovah's witnesses. I'm serious. My mother can't exactly run up and down stairs or climb a ladder... Logistically it's a complete joke. (But I know, Jehovah would help them, etc.)

Hyper Tech

by IveBeenBitten in

this "world event" is a few years away but i'm in the field so i work everyday to prepare for it.. our technology is advancing at an exponential rate.

shit will hit the fan because of it.. even as a jw i knew this was coming.

in fact, i thought that's what the bible was talking about.

ZOMG Y2K IS R3AL!!!1

The great tribulation

by Allenbee in

where does one find the truth after the watchtower ?.

according to the jw governing body... only jw's are left on earth after armageddon.. so i'm a private bible student and find jesus and all the prophets in total disagreement with this "gov body" who like all religions leaders, are actually the prophesied false christs.. please read math 24 straight... to see how to survive the great tribulation.

only after the great tribulation does the sign of our lord's presence appear.. this is not armageddon yet.. discussion from private bible students is most welcome..

Please read Math 24 straight... to see how to survive the great tribulation.

I am personally convinced that this great tribulation or time of troubles was the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. Likewise, "this generation" referred to that generation.

If there are errors in the text relative to what really happened, then so be it. Call it a continuity error or plot hole.
