The JWs have given the “time of the end” warning and when it doesn’t happen, they simply change the date. They claim that it will happen as soon as 144,000 get to heaven, so when the end doesn’t come they say that apparently some of those that they thought were anointed ones didn’t make it. Before 1975, many quit their jobs, didn’t finish school, didn’t have children, sold their homes, etc., because they were told that Armageddon was coming.
They would rather die and let their children die than have a blood transfusion.
They say they only welcome the willing, but if one of their children decide that they don’t want to be a JW, they disfellowship them, and no family members can have anything to do with that person.
“Crisis of Conscience” by a former VP of the org. is a good read.
It is a cult.
Have you ever heard about the underground city that the JoHos built for themselves in preparation for the 1972 iteration of the apocalypse?
It’s located outside of Georgetown Ontario, and is underneath their Canadian headquarters.
“The JWs have given the “time of the end” warning and when it doesn’t happen, they simply change the date.”
In 1975, I worked for a company that had 4 JWs (one was 1/2 owner), and all these glazed eyed JWs kept telling us that the earth was going to end in 1975 and only the JWs would survive. The 1/2 owner JW even built a bigger house for his other JWs relatives to come to at the end of time. (still makes no sense).
So, obviously 1975 comes and goes with no end of the world and every single one of these liars completely denied they had said any such thing. No excuses just a 100% denial that they had said it. It was exactly like talking to any Saul Alinsky lying liberal as they had no problem lying to your face.
If that is what they want to believe, as long as they aren’t beheading people like the hate cult of Islam, fine but they can keep their lying preaching to themselves.
That is correct
