Fred Franz, "We know it's a critical year, but we're not saying."
Hint, innuendo and manipulation.
Everyone certainly knew what Franz was implying.

Saturday, September 19th, 2015:
Earlier today snugglebunny posted a pic of today's "Daily Text" which is based on a paragraph from the November 15th, 2013 article. That magazine contains the now infamous maxim:
- All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.
-
It took a minute, but I just realized with some pleasure that when that WT article was studied on Sunday, January, 20th, 2014, that was the very last time I ever attended a meeting!
I have not set foot in a Kingdom Hall since all the congregations around the world were told: "All of us must be ready to OBEY any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound ... or not."
That was it for me. I was done.
That paragraph concluded with this little bit of "advice" from the Brooklyn Seven: "Now is the time for any who may be putting their trust in secular education, material things, or human institutions to adjust their thinking."
In the time since that was published I have completed a Master's degree in Education. As a result, I became a full-time permanent teacher in my school district. My income has more than doubled since those "words of wisdom" were published for the manipulation and control of gullible Witnesses of Jehovah.
I have adjusted my thinking. I left the religion and my life has never been better!
Let's review: It's a cult!-

The comments conclude by admonishing us to "adjust our thinking."
Well I'm happy to report that I have adjusted my thinking!
- I no longer think the writers of the WT know what they are talking about,
- I no longer think the GB have a clue,
- I no longer think that JWs are "the One True Religion," in fact,
- I now think JWs are a cult,
- I no longer think that I have to belong to any religion at all to be happy, finally,
- I no longer think that God exists.
-
And I am so much happier because of these adjustments in my thinking.
Praise be my new found thinking abilities!

What will 1914 (DROPPED) mean for you (EX-JW)
by John Aquila inlet's pretend this might happen.
im not asking what it will mean for the jdubs or for the organization, but what will it mean for you---- if one day you wake up and the watchtower drops the 1914 doctrine.. (you know at some point they have to, but probably not our lifetime).
if you are disfellowshipped or disassociated and have been shunned by your parents, by your children, by you spouse or ex-husband/wife, for years or even less, will you call your relatives and ask/tell them;.

IF they drop it, which I don't see them doing anytime soon, I'll have two questions:
- What took them so long?
- Did they actually admit they were wrong, or just spin it as "New Light" bullshit?

ToesUp: I agree but they just can't give it up. They don't know where else to go. It scares them to leave their comfort zone. It is also there only source of "friends."
I mostly agree with you, except they CAN "give it up," they're just afraid.
I have become convinced that deep down, most--maybe even all--JWs are cowards. They are afraid to face so many things: the real truth and the fact that they've been fooled/duped/swindled.
But maybe their biggest fear is to become self-reliant.

"he claims that he does not expect that the big A will happen in his lifetime."
Well the LEADERS of this religion consistently claim it will, soon in fact.
So if these people don't believe the WT leaders, then why, of why, do they follow them?
Frankly, that's just stupid. It shows a lack of personal integrity and intellectual honesty.
