  This website finally helped me understand the claim of 100% failure rate

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  up to about 5 minutes ago... i still had the notion that maybe jw's predicted something and got it right... that the league of nations was going to rise and become the united nations.

  i think that jw prophecies/predictions are like a shotgun: shoots many projectiles, one of them has got to hit.

  you cannot predict 5 different things and then, when one of them gets partly fulfilled, drop the other 4.5 things, change the 1/2 thing you predicted that was right and make it seem like that was the only thing you predicted, and make the entire one point fit after the fact.. reading watchtower literature throughout the years (1879 till now), and then coming here and getting awesome explanations from people like leolaia and other researchers, i finally understand the claim that most apostate websites make: the wt has a 100% prediction failure rate.. they were lucky that something big happened in 1914... but now i am much wiser and i know that everything they predicted for 1914 did not turn out as they predicted... 1914 has been a date with many different hats... from the start of armageddon, to the beginning of the last days... etc.... thank you very much jwn for completely opening my mind.

  End of Mysteries: My point was that they have to have things be EXACTLY like they say... and NONE of the things they have predicted have occured EXACTLY as they said.

  About Zionism, yes, Russell predicted that, but he predicted it for the early 1910's... If you examine WT literature from the period, they were saying that the Jews had been restored already... there is an article from 1922 claiming that the prophecy had been fulfilled. The Jews being gathered back and forming their own country did not happen until 1948...

  So... whatever they predicted usually came with a lot of strings attached, and one of those things not being fulfilled makes EVERYTHING wrong...

I think that JW prophecies/predictions are like a shotgun: shoots many projectiles, one of them has GOT to hit. But prophecies/predictions HAVE to be right in EVERYTHING.

  They were lucky that something big happened in 1914... but now I am much wiser and I know that everything they predicted for 1914 did not turn out as they predicted... 1914 has been a date with many different hats... from the start of Armageddon, to the beginning of the last days... etc...

  Thank you very much JWN for completely opening my mind. I hope that I can do the same for people I love.

  Fred Franz: Time in Which We Are Now Interested -- 1975 lecture

  by cabasilas in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  from internet archive:.

  "time in which we are now interested," lecture given by frederick w. franz on february 5, 1975 at the los angeles sports arena in los angeles, california.

  this was a special lecture given by fred franz (then vice president of the watchtower society and one of the main theologians of jehovah's witnesses at that time) on the 6,000 year chronology that pointed to the year 1975 as a special year marked in bible prophecy.

  Are there talks like these where Franz says "just make it until 1975"? Where is that one? I love the internet archive website! So many things to uncover TTATT... can't run away from these things!!

  Jehovah's Witness boy fights court for right to die

  http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/religious-boy-fights-court-for-right-to-die-20130917-2tx5u.html.

  this is tragic.

  the boy is 17, and earlier this year the courts ruled that he was to be forced a transfusion.

  WOW!!! IT ANGERS ME SO MUCH!!! I really hope he does not die. I found it really sad to know that he has an 80 percent chance of dying from anemia, while the combined risks of a blood transfusion going wrong is very low... In a risk-benefits scenario, the blood transfusion would clearly win.

  Truly !

  What proof do we have? How did we pass the inspection in 1919?

  by Quarterback in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the new light, the governing body apparently passed the master's inspection due to our focus on preaching the kingdom at that time.

  we were the only ones doing this according to the july wt re all those changes.. but, were we really doing this in 1918?

  i thought it was only the colporteurs.

  And that is EXACTLY why I am doing what I am doing. As far as I know, I am the ONLY person anywhere who will translate/ has a translation of the Photodrama of Creation in Spanish.

  The really cool thing that I am doing is that I am pretending that I am a "good JW" and that I am blissfully unaware that most things I will post will give most thinking JW's severe cognitive dissonance.

  It's ironic how the role-playing makes a difference. I saw some Photodrama of Creation videos in Portuguese on Youtube, but I doubt most JW's will ever see it because the one who posted it has Ex-JW Brasil or something in his/her account name.

  Since I am presenting it from a friendly, JW viewpoint, many will of course be incredibly eager to share it to all their JW friends (as has occurred), and they will see how wacky the teachings were, with everyone but really so with Russell and Rutherford.

  Proof of how uneasy they were is that the first video I posted (an introduction) got 20 likes, the second video (which shows a slide with the signs of the zodiac) obviously made a lot uneasy... only three likes.

  I am not commenting in a bad manner, and most people are THANKING ME for all this hard work... they have never, ever actually seen the Photodrama of Creation... and even if they Googled it, it would be in English.

  Hi everyone! If you recall, I have a website that just posts all "old light" from JW's and then translates it in Spanish. The site is spreading like wildfire, I am consistently getting 300+ views, and the website was just started two weeks ago or so!

  I am pretending to be a good JW, I delete any and all "apostate" comments but I notice that people ARE waking up... some are shocked, for example, when I post quotes from Watchtowers in 1922 or so still mentioning 1874 as Jesus's parousia.

  Related to the topic: A JW sent me a message, to the page, asking me where I got the publications. I told him that I owned a large, digitized collection of almost all JW publications (which is true). He also asked me if I knew WHAT PROOF WE HAD THAT JESUS INSPECTED RELIGIONS FOR 4 YEARS, FROM 1914 to 1919.

  I did not know what to say, since "blowing my cover" would severely compromise the page. I told him something that I hope would show him that no one understands things: "ask the elders in your own hall. If you yourself are an elder, ask other elders in your congregation."
  
  Do you think that was a good answer? I am just passively reverse-witnessing, and people ARE waking up...

  I am doing research... but I need help!

  some have noted that hebrews 1:6 is different in the older nwt.

  some have wondered what other parts of the nwt were changed from the 1961 edition to the 1984 edition.

  if there is a new nwt, it will have to be compared too.. please help me with this... what programs are out there to compare large texts such as these two nwt's?

  It's incredibly difficult; all the files are on PDF, the OCR does not do a good job at really recognizing all the text... it would take me too long to actually compare them this way. Does anyone know of an incredibly good and accurate OCR program?

  Thanks!
