  We have sent a registered letter in the past about to inform of Disfellowshipping!

  Great to have you on this forum, hope to hear more your experiences as an Elder, your insights on various subjects and what was going on with your thought process during your "Awakening ".

  Is there any evidence that the WTS stated the 20th century would be the last?

  by TTWSYF in

  i know that other early dates are well documented leading up to 1975. it did seemed that the wts learned to stop setting dates, but i seem to recall talk about the 20th century will certainly be the last according to god's perfect timing.

  i can't recall specifically where i heard such blatant rhetoric though.. anyone?

  bueller?

  I had a discussion with an Elder about this Subject, he denied our publications every said this. I went back to the KH Library and pulled a 1990 Awake Bound Volume, there on page 2, "Why the Awake is Published" : ... this magazine builds confidence in the Creator's promise of a peaceful and secure new world before the generation that saw the events of 1914 passes away. ( Everyone that was alive back in 1914 are dead now)

  Chris Cornell has passed..

  gutted to hear this.

  spent countless hours listening to his music... i'm sure some here will appreciate his contribution.

  i idolised matt cameron throughout my teenage years, cornell's distinct voice smothers some of my favourite music..... sad news indeed.
