does anyone have the article written by the wt saying that the end would come in 1975?.
how did people back then come to this year?
i need this information becuase i was told, this was never literally written by the wt in any publication.. thanks.
Can someone give me a list of bullet points or do I have to read? Remember, I'm of that generation where we don't like to read.
.
Why post a topic if you have absolutely no interest in devoting even a few minutes to finding the answer to your question? Good grief, quit being so damn lazy!
Incidentally, there is no "generation where we don't like to read". there's only people of various ages who invest no time in accumulating knowledge that will help them better themselves.
to my total astonishment, there is no mention whatsoever in the scriptures re jehovah's creative days being each of 7000 years duration.. nothing!.
zilch!.
...and yet the wt had this to say:.
It's one of countless fanatasies the WT holds as "Bible truth".
Interestingly, CT Russell taught that 6,000 years of human existence ended in 1874; Freddie Franz and WT then taught it ended in 1975, which started the whole 1975/Armageddon nonsense.

sound familiar?.

I heard this guy named Abraham almost did that once
.
True, but god told him to do it so it's not morally reprehensible. It's good to be the king.
anyone else hear about this?
i got this second hand from my wife, who got it from her mom.. .
apparently, there will be two points of entry to the convention.
The woman who can navigate the three simultaneously is truly considered the capable wife.
.
More than a capable wife...a freaking Wonder Woman goddess in my book !! lol.
.
this one isn't actually the WTS' fault....except for failing to foresee this a problem much further in advance.
We'll just do what WT does and blame god...after all, he directs the Organization...so, if there's a f**k up, the buck stops ultimately with him for not seeing it ahead of time.
not sure if this has been posted before.. .

i was an elder in prescott for many years... anyone now out from there?
.
I want to publicly apologize to Joe.
I truly was suspicious of his post and doubted his intentions were genuine, especially being that his post as a new member coincided with the scandal developing with a KH in his area. The post seemed suspiciously like a JW elder trying to "out" apostates or awake JWs in that area by baiting them into revealing themselves.
I've PM'd him a few times and he seems like a decent guy who's been beat up by the WT organization.
It was not my intention to hurt his feelings, and I hope he gives JWN another shot. He can use our support.
ok in the effort of full disclosure, i have had a couple of drinks and recently experienced a circuit assembly and a bad experience with a co.. i don't know where to effing begin.
first of all the circuit assembly was a joke.
half the assembly was about pioneering and selling your soul to be a no-pay salesman for the borg.
The organization was equated with God throughout the assembly.

The best argument for atheism I've ever heard....

It has more to do with Homeland Security compliance for large stadiums.
WT had similar security issues with a university stadium in the Seattle area for this summer's convention.
towards the end of last year, the witnesses in scotland had their own assembly hall opened in the town of livingston, near edinburgh the capital.. this was achieved no doubt by blood, sweat, and tears by many over a very long period - as well as by donations of witnesses from all over scotland and its islands, not forgetting the levy per publisher imposed on all the congregations in the guise of "donations"!.
was the org grateful for the sacrifices which were made to bring a great "shout of praise" to whoever?
nope!

What's interesting is the glaring imbalance between income and expenditures.
I'm dumbfounded as to how WT can gain "charity" status in whatever country it operates in, yet it never does anything remotely charitable.
By what standard does a charity take in money but distribute virtually none of it??
