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

  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.

  WOW, sorry for the pain these idiots caused you. Did you ever think about reporting the abuse to the Police? Or, has the statue of limitations run it's course?

  "what man among you with 100 sheep, on losing one of them, will not leave the 99 behind in the wilderness and go after the lost one until he finds it?

  " - luke 15:4. disclaimer: by posting the following observations i am not complaining.

  i am happy to be left alone.

  You have nothing to offer them. Besides, you probably make too much sense and that scares the Hell out of them!

  (As promised) BETHEL TRIP part 7. Loosing my balance

  as i was trying to settle into my new life i constantly plagued myself with questions about where i had been and a bigger question, where i was going.

  in the mid eighties there wasn't easy access to any exjw's to ask questions and help me through a very difficult transition in my life.

  today the internet offers a lot of support through a large collection of exjw's from all over the world who offer many various options based on their own personal experience on where to go once you are out of the cult.
