cappytan, lol that video with the Disney trolley song combined with the magazine is hilarious.
If they justify it by old light, why even use the excuse it was speculation among rank and file JW's?
Why does it matter if it's "old light" if they've made a false prophecy? The point isn't whether something is old or new, it goes against their very own Bible beliefs of not following anyone who predicts the future in their God's name.

How would this magazine effect JW's who've attempted to refute 1975 by stating it was speculation among rank and file JW's? -

God does exist here is my nonbiblical reason:
by Curious Kitten in(before you read i hope no one gets offended by the word retarted...that s how i thought when i was 13)my mom and dad are divorced and my father never helped my mother on raising us, so basically she was a single-mother.
he just abandoned my three brothers and me and my mother had to work two jobs all of the time so we never got to see her.
when we did see her it was after school, but all she did was yell at us, make food, and leave to her next job.

Athanasius those were my exact thoughts. I'm a fan of Dead Can Dance and Lisa Gerrard. It certainly is copyrighted and no way would they want an association with a deceitful organization that uses mind control techniques. -

Gaslighting abuse
by Illuminated inas a former wt member, would you say the wts intentionally abuses it's members in the form of gaslighting?.
gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of mental abuse in which information is twisted/spun, selectively omitted to favor the abuser, or false information is presented with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception and sanity.. sociopaths frequently use gaslighting tactics.
sociopaths consistently transgress social mores, break laws, and exploit others, but typically, are also charming and convincing liarswho consistently deny wrongdoing.

In recent years, the term “gaslighting” has come to be applied to attempts by certain kinds of personalities, especially psychopaths — who are among the personalities most adept at sophisticated tactics of manipulation — to create so much doubt in the minds of their targets of exploitation that the victim no longer trusts their own judgment about things and buys into the assertions of the manipulator, thus coming under their power and control.
Gaslighting is particularly effective when coupled with other tactics such as shaming and guilting. Anything that aids in getting another person to doubt their judgment and back down will work.
Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts.
This was taken from the link Carla shared. Sounds like the core personality of WTS. The more research I do, the more I'm convinced they know exactly what they're doing. How can they not with all that money, attorneys and who knows who else backing them up.

First I saw the picture and thought--it looks like a standard corporate building.
Then I saw cappytan's comment and the photo below with a drive through and thought--why is there a drive through? It looks like a bank that needs an atm. Then I read freemindfade's comment.
Lol, funny thread.
