“There was a measure of disappointment on the part of Jehovah’s faithful ones on earth concerning the years 1914, 1918 and 1925.…they also learned to quit fixing dates for the future and predicting what would come to pass on a certain date.…” Vindication 1931, Vol. 1, pp. 338-39
"Reports are heard of brothers selling their home and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end." Our Kingdom Ministry 5/1974, p. 3
“Considerable expectation was aroused regarding the year 1975….Statements published that implied that such realization of hopes by that year was more of a probability than a mere possibility. It is to be regretted… the publication of the information that contributed to the buildup of hopes centered on that date.” Watchtower 3/15/1980, p.17

GB is a group of imperfect men. If you are not happy with them, go out there and start your own own TRUE & CORRECT & PERFECT ORGANIZATION!!
redzonerreddit, Thank you for responding. You are indeed right that the GB is a group of imperfect men. I say amen to that. What you have failed to see is the elephant in the room, namely that they claim to be a prophet or voice of Jehovah, putting them in violation of Deuteronomy 18:20-22 (false prophets make false prophecies) with their false predictions of 1914,1918,1925 and 1975. They have had no predictions that they have made, that have not failed. Please just point out one that can in some way be verified as coming true. They are indeed ( the governing board ) false prophets . By the way, even in their prediction of 1914, they predicted the end of this present government as we know it and then changed it to the invisible return of Christ which is a false prophecy or prediction which can in no way be verified. Please respond to this reply of your defending this group of false prophets who will answer to God for their misleading their members from the true Savior.
It's the beginning of the end for the Gluttonous Body, and the EVIL Jehovah's Witnesses organization.
One thing they didn’t think through was the paper trail they left for generations. Anyone with a spiritual (and natural) eye can discern this religion is false.
Amen to that!
Fruits of Jehovah's Witnesses Organization HUGE CSA problem ( 2 Witnesses rule breeds it ) Blood sacrifice to the Jehovah. Shunning. Life of poverty. Lying ( Spirtual warfare ) Protecting the " image " High suicide rates. High amounts of alcohol abuse. Modern-day slavery. Narasticic traits. Jehovah is Lucifer, the angel of Light. New light = New lies I'm sure there is more!
They have been WRONG many times yes. This organization like all others out there is in need of reform from within
redzonereddit, And they have to stop claiming to be the voice or prophet of Jehovah putting them in violation of Deuteronomy 18:20-22 (false prophets make false predictions).
Hate to say it but I don’t think that will ever happen! I for my part have decided to spend my energy and focus where I can make a positive difference after trying to make changes from Within for so many years. Remember the serenity prayer? Lord, give me the courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change and most importantly, the wisdom to know the difference. Why? So I can keep my sanity lol.
THIS 10000000%. I was born-in but I always knew something was soooo wrong with this cult.
Right, catholic is better alternative?
Great points (except the point about Catholicism) .
And add the Walsh case for extra spice😶

What is the source of this information?
It's from a Scottish court case in 1954.. Walsh Case
There's also a sanitised version on jw website also.
So cool that you found this info!
II didn't find it myself, Raymond Franze (ex governing body member) wrote about it in his book crises of conscience.. Well worth a read.
They have been wrong many times but the fact remains they have created a world wide organization of millions of peace loving and law abiding people in over 200 countries! This is a great achievement possible only with Gods help

I can't beleive they actually admitted it in the 80s quote. Wow.
If you’re on the side of the GB, then you ignore the facts of those events.
Unfortunately, you are right .
