there was a 50 year gap between the failed dates of 1925 and 1975.. memories fade, people die, and who cares what was said 50 years ago.. most jw's now in the religion werent there when 1975 was a thing.

even my mother who was baptized in 1974 who i do remember speaking about it back in the day, can barely remember what the fuss was about.

for active jw's who are doing all there studying online now, its practically impossible to find any wt contemporary reference to 1975.. i read recently (sorry i cant source it right now) that at the time, even watchtower may have taken the view that even if they knew 1975 was wrong, the short term gains would far outstrip those who left leading to an overall net gain so it was a risk worth taking.

The WT has already pinned it down to a date!

"the last days of the last days"

I mean how much more specific than that can you get!!!!

Out of The mouth Of 2 - 3 Witnesses Jehovah Never Endorsed Them in 1919 .

by smiddy3 in

the 2 or 3 witness rule to substantiate a truth about a matter .joh.8:17 , 2 cor.13 : 1. jehovah`s witnesses claim they were appointed by god in 1919 ?

as the only religion that god was going to use to dispense food at the proper time ?

and to lead his people by.. fact 1.

Fact 1. .Jehovah`s Witness Organization didn`t even exist at that time , however "The International Bible Students Association" I.B.S.A. existed then ,and if anything ,they would have been given that approval . If that was the case .

The INBS was just "overlapping" the WTBTS--right?

What Has Happened To This Site

sorry, off to get my gun..

This site, the contributing members, and the insightful information, i.e. ttatt, was very helpful as I actively began my very successful fade about 11-12 years ago.

Is it just me or does it seem like it has morphed into a more political/racial opinion battle ground. CNN vs FOX news. Actual, helpful facts about religion, it's man made origins, the bible and it's mythological beginnings , have, to some degree been supplanted by opinions on politics and racial issues!

I miss Blondie's comments/research on what the wt really says!

What Fun Things Have You Been Doing While In Lock-Down?

by Simon in

so we've all been locked down and there's only so much netflix / prime / disney / hbo you can watch and computer games you can play.

what has everyone been doing to pass the time?.

when you're completely stuck inside and working from home it can get a bit boring staring at the same walls all day and then in the evening as well.

new situation in world helpful to org?

by Magnum in

sometimes new situations can provide cover for one’s mistakes or intentions.

for example, suppose that i crack the windshield in my dad’s car one night.

i go home, park the car in its usual spot in the yard, and go to bed without telling my dad because i’m scared and i’m trying to think of a way out of the situation.

No more "quick builds"? To be replaced by "Quick sells"!

JW.ORG delivering food to JWs in California

by NikL in

jw
friends

so a couple of weeks ago my wife (who is an active jw) got a delivery of apples, oranges, potatoes, carrots and onions.. the story i heard was that the "branch bought a bunch of food that would go to waste and was delivering it".. i am in california and a friend of mine in another cong.

50 or so miles away had the same thing happen.. a few days ago we got another delivery and as a matter of fact my wife was asked if she could "help jehovah with delivering his gifts".

unfortunately she is in poor health and unable to so so.. anyway, the story seems fabricated to me and i am wondering what is really going on.. does anybody have any ideas?

eyeuse2badub

I'm in central California and yes the wt is delivering food, mainly product, to many congregations. Everyone, the jw's, think that the supplies are being provided by the wt and none of the elders have said anything to the contrary!

Do you think you will ever see News like this ?

by Phizzy in

this sort of thing ?

"jehovah's witnesses state that black lives matter, as all lives matter".

" jehovah's witnesses join black lives matter rally".

eyeuse2badub

I'm basically a born in also and am certainly not a racist. But it sure took a very long time for a person of color or even a non American white man to make it to the top tier of the wt organization! 'Logically' it follows that jehober must favor white American men!
