Is it possible to use this thread to compile watchtowers Armageddon illustrations
by jambon1 ini was informed today by a jw that the watchtower doesn't use images and propaganda to instil fear.
i would really like to see a compilation of all their armageddon illustrations.
maybe a thread or web page already exists that had this content.. the one i am really wanting is the most recent picture of the witnesses in the basement during the tribulation.. this will be a massive help so thank you..

Awesome analogy it’s too bad every new fresh faced batch of converts believe THEY will finally reach their paradise destination. Every newcomer, the majority of which these days are JWs born-in children believe that the one’s that went BEFORE them were simply born at the “wrong time” and died awaiting a resurrection.
The current younger members that are “true believers” feel THEY are the chosen ones that line up perfectly in the WT promises of paradise and eternity. They fail to analyze history and see that all those previous generations felt THEY were in the “sweet spot” of human history and would NEVER die. This is how the religion has survived for so long.
People die… and all the memories of broken promises and predictions fade away into obscurity. Now the new foot soldiers are told THEY will NEVER succumb to death and the cycle just repeats itself. It’s evil and cruel to deliberately deceive many honest hearted people in this way.

As already mentioned, this was all part of their masterplan to bolster and build-up the 1975 teaching. It amazes me that these charlatans would NOT even consider giving themselves any wiggle room in their wording.
“You also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.” Play it safe & avoid embarrassment WT…
“You also need to face the possibility that you might never grow old in this present system of things.”
“Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years.” Play it safe & avoid embarrassment WT…
“Because all the evidence in fulfillment of Bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end very soon.”
“Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.” This could have been written…
“Therefore, as a young person, you might never fulfill any career that this system offers.”
“But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way towards its finish, if not actually gone!”
“But where will this system of things be by that time? It might be well on the way towards its finish, perhaps even gone!”
It’s obvious that these leaders deliberately chose to use unambiguous statements in order to generate a massive mental, emotional, and physical response from its followers. For the countless dreams and accomplishments that were never attained but rather dashed to pieces, these liars deserve a full retribution.

New Light on the 144,000?
by Ding insomeone on facebook is claiming to have reliable information that the gb is about to announce new light on the 144,000 -- that it's symbolic, not literal.. one person suggested that they will retain the two-class teaching and just change the meaning of 144,000. his idea was that the change would avoid three problems with the current teaching:.
1. embarrassment over more and more partakers at the memorial when the number should be getting less and less.. 2. embarrassment over 12 symbolic 12,000s somehow equaling a literal 144,000.. 3. solving the problem of running out of "anointed" ones who are old enough to be on the gb.. thoughts?.

Some of us here may already have seen this 26-minute video. It’s from “ExJW Critical Thinker” and here is the video’s description:
“In this video, we use critical thinking to examine the teaching of Jehovah’s Witnesses where they state that the Biblical reference of 144,000 people that will go to heaven is a literal number. According to the Watchtower, there has only been the Heavenly Calling for anyone who became a Christian from the 1st century up to the 19th century. We demonstrate that if this teaching is true, it means that Jesus Christ had less than 144,000 disciples following him from Pentecost of 33 C.E. up to the 19th century. But you have to ask the “critical thinking question” is this teaching supported by historical records?”

These leaders have to hire better writers. They have truly run out of any original or fresh ideas. The doctrinal component of this religion can easily be dismantled and exposed as being false. All they are left with now is to ramp up the “fear mongering” along with the strong “emotional rewards” in the future paradise…that is imminently around the very next corner.

2015 Annual Meeting
Samuel Herd's announcement about finances and Bethel reductions. Now we have in the May 2019 broadcasting an appeal to the worldwide brotherhood to consider a full-time career at Bethel. Seriously, which is it we must conserve and reduce personnel to save money or not? It’s like the old joke.
“How can you tell when the GB is lying?”
“Their lips are moving.”

Great WT references, thanks for the research corruptgirl. I think “Top Shelf Tight Pants” will survive this and be more prudent next time. It will soon become a story from the distant past.

Holy Spirit - Present or Gone in the Congregations?
by BourneIdentity ini was doing some reminiscing and remember the days back in the late 80s and early 90s where i truly could say the meetings were so encouraging and that i felt the holy spirit present and operating on all of us.
today when i attend, there is nothing of the sort.
is it because jehovah has withheld it?

The Holy Spirit was neither active nor inactive in the congregation. The Holy Spirit has never guided a group of imperfect men to appoint anyone. The Holy Spirit never had a direct connection or influence on any JW doctrine or interpretation ever printed. The idea of the Holy Spirit being present in a JW congregation was just another narcissistic insular view from the WTS leadership to make its members feel special, important and that they were in an elite and only true religion. Successes and failures come and go in any group whether they are secular or religious.
Once we wake-up, we quickly discover this was just another “man made” religion from DAY ONE. It was all a patchwork of senseless and even life-threatening doctrines (vaccines, transplants, blood). When we fact check this man made religion, then all that we heard and felt in the past no longer has any substance or reality.
