Russell's chronology was right after all!
by Vanderhoven7 inthe kingdom of god is already begun, which is pointed out in prophecy as due to begin the exercise of power in a.d. 1878, and that the "battle of the great day of god almighty" which will end in 1914 with the complete overthrow of the earth's present rulership, is already commenced.. i just did the math....and russell was right.
christ returned invisibly in 1874 and took rulership (restored kingdom reign) in 1878.. 2520 years minus 607 when jerusalem was destroyed = 1913 (accounting for no year zero) = 1914. that`s 2520 - 607 = 2014. but wait, that`s 2520 prophetic years of 360 days, not solar days of 365.25 days.
to convert to solar days then one must multuiply 2520 x 365.25 which gives us 2,484 actual years.

Is Vanderhoven being sarcastic? -

Oh my goodness.
This is JW 2.0 all the way.
Looks just like a Mormon video.
Glad I left in time

Using Review Sites To Spread the Word About JW Dangers
by jacobm ini have posted a review of the kingdom hall that i attended before i revoked my jw membership, on both yelp & google.
i figured that it only takes me 5 minutes to write a good review, and it could save someone a lot of heartache.
keep in mind that you have to post a firsthand account of your experience.

Hello everyone,
I have posted a review of the Kingdom Hall that I attended before I revoked my JW membership, on both Yelp & Google. I figured that it only takes me 5 minutes to write a good review, and it could save someone a lot of heartache.
Keep in mind that you have to post a firsthand account of your experience. My first review got taken down because it was a more generic "this is a cult" review, and someone flagged it (hmmm..I wonder who).

Is reasoning with a JW the answer?
by Saved_JW inwhen i first left the watchtower society, i can remember being very eager to learn new information, especially information which pertained to discrediting the watchtower organization.
i called it "the cage stage" .
this excitement and newfound change in worldview completely rocked my world.

Great question, OP!
First off, the WT uses John 6:68 to support saying "where" instead of "whom":
English Standard Version
Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life,As I am sure other Christians on this board would agree, Jesus is the alternative. This was extremely hard for me to understand until I had not been at JW meetings for at least 8 months. Jesus is the truth, the way, and the life...according to the Bible.
Now, the other point wanted to make is whether or not you will decide to remain a Christian is up to YOU! If you are not sure, then you should 1) Take plenty of time to self-reflect and RELAX and 2) Start reading & researching. Perhaps use the method of Deduction, as well as the study Logic, to first decide whether there is a God at all!
Feel free to read something like Dawkins' book "The God Delusion" and see what that side of the argument has to say. Then, have a look at this Christian Apologetics book: http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Have-Enough-Faith-Atheist/dp/1581345615 . Research both sides of the argument! Your first research should likely be related Theism vs Non-Theism (God vs. no God)!
Bottom line, take your time. Don't be run by fear or a need to belong. And for heaven's sake: Don't fall into another cult/cult mindset. As Steven Hassan has written about, there are all sorts of cults! Religious, "scientific", political, business, etc. Oh, and read his book "Combating Cult Mind Control".
Best Wishes!
