  Wow guys , thanks .

  I have replied using a couple of screenshots from the Watchtowers talking about 1975 . So far the JW hasn't responded.

  I imagine someone born into , or who entered into , the Witness after 75 . As someone has mentioned the fiasco was conveniently forgotten when it didn't happen .

  Anyone who wasn't directly involved has been told , l suppose , that this is an apostate lie .

  It may well have come as a shock to the lady to see facts in print. If it makes a difference to her who knows. However the more information that becomes public the more others may be put off from joining .

  Chocolate cookies, l will be round later.

  I answered a question on Quora about JW flip flops . I mentioned, amongst other things , the 1975 debacle. How Witnesses were told that Armageddon was coming in the fall of that year.

  Someone, presumably a JW , took issue with this and told me not to believe everything that l was told .

  Interestingly she didn't deny the flip flop over the cross or the worship of Jesus !!

  I know that some of you have copies of old WTs which clearly state that 1975 was THE year .

  Would some kind person please give me quotes with dates and issue numbers.

  Thanks Jan

  So does that mean that in the 200s AD it was widely acknowledged that Christ died on a cross ? Hmmm

  the pros and cons of being p.i.m.o.

  have been discussed on this forum many times.

  As a never been a JW , Anglican , Trinity believing wrong ' un l would say no He won't. However that probably doesn't help does it ?

  I agree with what's been said about research, but - please read a variety of stuff , for and against Christianity . You won't get a balanced view just reading one side of the argument a la Watchtower mode .

  I suppose that the nearest l can get to wrapping my head around how the teaching lingers is thinking about a child who's Mom always said " it's bad luck to step on the cracks in the pavement " . You grow up and KNOW that it can't be right but still feel uncomfortable when you do it .

  Keep searching until you find where you feel at home .

  A truly absurd situation is brewing ...

  yes, it's related to the world cup in qatar next year.. a recent un report has detailed some serious abuse of migrant workers by qatari authorities - we're talking some serious issues here:.

  - a caste system with migrant workers treated differently on the basis of ethnicity.

  - non-payment of wages.

  by JWTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a couple of threads over on reddit that there is a letter to elders on restarting meetings.

  i find this hard to believe and have not seen anything on this from our trusty sources on this site.

  can anyone confirm?.

  Blues , yes cases are rising but because most of the population has been double jabbed the hospitalisation and death rate are going down . Most people are just ill for a while then are ok .

  As l and others have said churches of all other denominations have re-opened here in the UK . I don't see why Kingdom Halls can't .
