For years they were referred to as, "Princes among men."
As if that wasn't condescending enough, now they are "Our future Kings."
The pompous arrogance of these self-righteous poseurs knows know bounds!
my wife of many years is more-or-less pomo, but she still (nominally) believes in jehovah and the bible.. she raised her eyebrows when she realized the full scope of the csa problem… rolled her eyes when letto the clown called babies “little enemies of god”… but today, we apparently crossed a real threshold….
…her response to the governing body being referred to as “our future kings” was….
…“what????!!!!!”.

uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
The middle of nowhere in war-torn bombed out Croatia? Sounds like Paradise!!
I agree......that's fishy as hell. It was less of a move, and more of a fast getaway.
Ya know, I bet poor Dijiana doesn't even know the extent of The Great Neck-Bearded One's sins. After all, her being merely a woman without a penis in the org with ZERO status, means she wasn't privy to whatever goings on happened in the JC Meetings. Nor would any of the asshole Elduhzzzzz tell her.
Things that make you go, "Hmmmmmmmmm?"
it's incredible how this cover, and also this "series" of watchtower's is burned into my mind.
i was almost 5 years old when these were released.

RATtigan350 is a victim-blaming, WatchTower loving, TOOL!
The same type who kisses the GB's asses and think's their just freakin' dandy! Divine even! This person can't get enough. Say, what the fuq are you even doing on here? I'm sure there's a CO's ass out there that itching for your warm lips?

He was probably propping up his Macho-Man image by claiming Bo was hitting on Dijana. Secretly, he wanted Bo to hit on him. He wanted to clap Bo's cheeks. But he couldn't let it show. Couldn't let the fake hetero facade down and his true self show. Hungry like the Wolf. Hungry for the Big D and a chocolate star for desert.

@ Beth Sarim:
Actually, it's not exactly the Elders that wanted the old literature tossed back around 2015. That direction came directly from WT HQ to the literature Servant. All old literature from before a certain date was to be thrown in the trash, and NOT EVEN TO BE HANDED OUT. Thrown away!
This is the very last straw that woke up Martin Haugh. He walked in to the rest of the Elders behind the literature counter with a large trash can tote, just throwing it all away. "Truth" yesterday, was "Old Light" today, and canned in the trash. It woke him all the way up.

@Gorb:
Yes! I should have mentioned the "Live Forever" book that came out right before these magazines, probably 1983. Very nicely illustrated ( to a child anyway ) and sticks in my mind.
And the back of the Awake! magazine with the "Creator Promise" that these things would happen before the Generation of 1914 passes away.
They presume to speak in the name of God, then have the unmitigated GALL to call the people with brains enough to see them as the false prophets they are, "Apostates" for daring to call them out on their made-up BS!!!
That scripture in Deuteronomy applies to them perfectly, as does Jesus' own warning about people coming after him later, claiming to be Him, speaking for Him, being in secret chambers, etc. Fits the WatchTower cult to a "T"!

@littlerockguy: Spot on! The hits kept coming in the 1980's for the Organization. (then referred to as The Society)
This culminated in them actually stating in a 1989 WatchTower that "this System of Things" probably wouldn't make it to the end of the century! The end of the 1990's is now 25 years ago! They actually removed it from the online digital edition. Total revisionist history, ala George Orwell's 1984 style!
By 1994 (80 years after 1914) they had to do SOMETHING, so they up and made a change to the Generation by removing reference to it in the WatchTower mission statement and also in an article. Imagine, DECADES of "absolute, indisputable proof of the Truth", gone in a single paragraph. Anyone with a brain left then. If they stuck around, they were truly brain-dead. And for anyone who came in after or was born-in after, the "Overlapping Generations" nonsense should have woken them up as to how the Governing Body are just making shit up as they go along. The chart Splane held up really drove home the man-made convolution of this cult. It's nonsense! Imagine Jesus during His Sermon on the Mount, pausing to hold up this chart and explain that he wasn't really speaking to them, but to people thousands of years in the future?? LOL!! What a load of crap.

“1914: A Marked Year–Why?” — April 1, 1984 Watchtower
“1914: A Focal Point of Bible Prophecy” — April 15, 1984 Watchtower
“1914 and YOU” — May 1, 1984 Watchtower
“1914: The Generation That Will Not Pass Away” — May 15, 1984 Watchtower
Everyone, and I mean everyone was excited about these. They were used as PROOF, right at the doors in the ministry as to how far into the "time of the end" we were. These were placed for years!!!!
My late parents had all of the WT and Awake! bound volumes from the late 60's thru the early 90's. Of all of them, I only kept (1) - the 1984. That's all you need to see how clearly the Jehovah's Witness Organization is an end-times apocalyptic cult.
I'm 44 now. My parents and all of the older ones that studied with them are dead. ALL of them. Everyone on the cover below are long since dead. They weren't supposed to die! They were promised that they'd walk into the New Order just like my parents were promised. (Barring some unexpected accident or illness of course) Just think, there are JW's born in the year 2000, who are now 24 years old that know NOTHING of this, just like I knew nothing about 1975, or 1925, etc. It's not even a blip on their young JW minds. But I haven't forgotten. False prophecy, false promises, lies, deception, a stolen youth and opportunities. Add to that, a side of never-ending greed from the phony leadership. What a cult.

I've been saying it all along: LE goes to Thailand not for sexy exotic females. He goes there for the "Lady-Boys." He's into the fecal fandango.....munching the chocolate star......surfing the brown eye........and he likes to see a set of balls in front him while he does it. I mean, he's too fat to see his own? Might as well be some other feminine dude's.......
Does that make him gay? Yes.......yes it does!
I will give him this: if he hadn't been born a JW, all of this confusion and heartache would have been avoided. He would have come out in his teens, had normal gay relationships, not married Dijiana, never been a JW, never sexted underage girls, never had to do any of this ex-JW Youtube crap. He'd just be another gay dude....maybe even actually successful? So yes, just like the rest of us he was unlucky enough to be born into this cult. And that in itself, is a shame. So many lives ruined.
