Ever give any thought why the Watchtower Society blames witnesses of their "expectations" instead of taking the blame???

Well, this 'cult' as you say made a mistake, and we can see it was as a big deal as the mistakes made by others: Jonestown, Branch Davidians (Waco), Solar Temple..!? Dude get a grip of urself, religion is religion, beliefs are beliefs, mistakes are mistakes but they ain't killing anyone. Preaching door to door and we think it's the worst thing by far for making mistakes that weren't shown to light earlier. Religion isn't what it used to be, but after this whining, I don't think I care to embrace

@Onlinepoetrycafe "They ain't killing anyone??"...are you kidding me? Imagine all the ones who don't take blood transfusions and die because of this religions' man made policy . Imagine the JWs who couldn't take organ transplants years ago (they changed the policy in 1980). Imagine the JW's who were brutally slaughtered and raped in Malawi because JW's wouldn't buy a party card (but yet it was ok for Mexican JW's to bribe military officials to obtain a cartilia card). So think about it.....

@WakeUpWitness All of the examples u mention are personal choices,no one forces u to be a JW, if u don't like the rules or guidelines no one is forcing u to be there, if u decide that your life is more important than being a JW (which many people have thought) send your letter of disassociation and get the transfussion,Onlinepoetrycafe is right, there is no need to put down other people's belief,those guys who knocked down the towers felt that they needed everyone to believe like they did also

[WakeUpWitness]

@Mustanich Well,

The only issue I have, is that in order for my family to continue to speak to me I STILL HAVE TO FOLLOW A MAN MADE CONCEPTIONAL POLICY BY NOT disassociating myself. I remain in-active for them...and for them only. I know the organization is a total sham. I believe in God and and his Son Jesus Christ and the Ransom Sacrifice he made for us. I do not believe that the Society is the almighty "truth" and that they were selected in 1919 by Jesus as a Faithful and Discreet Slave.

even if the world didnt end what happend? world war? the fact that in 1914 we had world war 1 just shows how accurate they are !

[WakeUpWitness]

@TheMzwake They never pointed to "World War 1". It was sheer coincidence that world war 1 happened in 1914. Besides, world war 1 happened in the summer of 1914 when Russell proclaimed they were going to heaven in October of 1914 and that the world war was leading up to armagedon. Russell proclaimed that 1914 was the end of the last days, not the beginning. C.T. Rusell was a genuine...snake oil, peddler of paradise, false prophet. He would be disfellowshipped today for what he taught.

[WakeUpWitness]

@adg1112 I view the videos To find out if it is is indeed "the truth".....from their history and the way they have blantly lied.....IT IS NOT "THE TRUTH". Jehovah's Witnesses are no different than any other religion out there.......they lie!

"he spent his entire fortune" Russel never had a fortune to spend on anything. Another lie.

@RealityDefenseLeague ::: A lesson in reality... We are here for ~80 years, then we lose our physical body. JWs say we soul-sleep. But 1 Samuel 28:15 and 19, those who have had NDEs, tell a different story. Mark 9:1 says the kingdom is already here. There is no pie in the sky - we die and then live on in one of those 'many mansions' that have been prepared for us.

don't forget 1941

If you associate with the Witness keep this scripture in mind: (8)"LOVE never fails. But whether there are gifts of prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will be done away with. (9) For we have PARTIAL knowledge and we prophesy Partially. (10) But when that which is complete arrives, that which is partial shall be done away with.” 1 CORINTHIANS 13: 08, 09, 10

[RealityDefenseLeague]

Russell was a true-prophet, just a little off on his time frame. I guess you could say he was ahead of his time. What he said, will come to pass. "Expectations".. How do you know this was not set into motion by the Holy Spirit in order to teach the next generation a lesson. A lesson that needs be learned over and over again apparently. No one but the Father knows the date and time.

@geetarnut What's your point? From what I've seen and experienced, being raised as JW, they are no better than any other religion. They make out that they are, but in truth, no better than others.

[geetarnut]

Ok, look at bible history! I ask you, does God hate killing? Yes, of course! One of the 10 commandments! Well, then why would God instruct King David & Saul to kill the Philistines? Also, hav'nt all people been subjected to sometimes "fatal" mistakes & misinterpretations by the Catholic church & others? And messed up about when in the future things will happen? Sure they have! Why didn't you think of this, as I did? I'm an ex-JW, they've got it "as humanly right, as is possible"! Peace to you!

[geetarnut]

I understand your trying to make what you see as the faults of the witnesses, evident to people. The problem is, you are too short sighted. No insult intended! Because I can tell that you are sincerely trying to inform people, that's commendable! But, I must remind you of our human history, which is "full" of mistakes and "so-called" lies that you try to bring up here. Due to limited writing space, I will make a further comment to finish my explanation! Thanks for reading my reply!
