The world almost ended in 1975. I kid you not. From 1966 to 1975, the Watchtower regularly implied that Armageddon would arrive in 1975. However, ask one of Jehovah's Witnesses about this date and they will invariably deny there ever being such statements. As evidence, here are a few quotes from their own publications -

At the 1967 District Convention, Wisconsin Sheboygan District Overseer Brother Charles Sinutko presented the talk "Serving with Everlasting Life in View", making the following statement: "STAY ALIVE TILL '75" As evidence, see the video below and listen to the recording of the talk by Charles Sinutko - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqjzgYnq5Uo 1 Like |

The question we must now ask is this - What was the reason for this fake prophecy? Why did the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses have to claim the world would end in 1975? Well, I have evidence backed by data that proves that they did this as a massive campaign to recruit new members. The growth rate of publishers before and after 1975 proves the significance of 1975 for Jehovah's Witnesses and the affect of Armageddon's failure to eventuate at that time.

Food for thought - Why would an organization that claims to be the ONLY TRUE RELIGION spread such falsehood only to recruit new members? Why would the "only true religion" be spreading such lies? For further research - https://jwfacts.com/watchtower/1975.php Open You Mind. 2 Likes |

No JW with their senses intact can come here to deny any of these. Why did they have to lie that they never made such False prophecy when their old publications have everything recorded? It is too late to lie. False Prophets as foretold by Jesus. ![]() 1 Like |

oteneaaron: It wasn't just to recruit more members. It was also to fatten their bank accounts. It was their pattern to come up with false prophecies whenever they lose a lot of members and their bank accounts are drying up. Less members = Red account balance. Freemason JWs reported that their false prophecies are mainly driven by Money! Monkey dey work, Baboon dey chop. ![]() 1 Like

God's people have always anticipate God's Kingdom and God never condemn any of His people for wrong expectations. Only Jesus Christ who is a perfect worshiper of God never had wrong expectations but as for all other servants of God WRONG EXPECTATIONS has been peculiar with all of them. So complaining about wrong expectations shows that you don't even know anything about God's people! ![]() |

oteneaaron: No I wasn't there. My parents and their siblings were there. In fact, some of my relatives left because of the False prophecy while my parents are still in. Nothing like selling of property for my side o. When I ask my parents about it, they will just brush it off like it is insignificant. Power of Cognitive Dissonance.

Courz: Wow. I agree with you that Cognitive Dissonance is the biggest baggage of a Jehovah's Witness. Their minds are captives of a concept. That is why I am very bullish about doing research and learning from history - without bias. So much has happened over the years that we must learn about. And this not just about the history of Jehovah's Witnesses, but the history of Religion, Civilization, and the Universe in its totality. As an ancient Sumerian once said - "The Future Lies in the Past" We must study the past to understand the present and change the future. 1 Like |

The picture below explains the relationship between Oteneaaron and the JW apologists. Lmao ![]() It is well A note to every believer and seeker of TRUTH At the end of the day, irrespective of whatever beliefs anyone chooses to subscribe to…sincerely love God and your fellow man. Don’t lie to one another. Be good, not because of what you are expecting in return, but because it is in your very nature to want to do good. (Remember goodness is a part of the fruit of the Spirit) If majority of humanity have this mindset, this world would be a much better place to live in and the fulfilment you seek won’t be far away. It’s pointless arguing over doctrine if one is impure in heart and wicked and deceitful in character. The character is what matters, not what you label yourself as. I’ll prefer a honest Muslim with excellent character to be my room mate, than live on even the same street with a wicked, dishonest and greedy “Christian”. My two cents. Peace and one love! 2 Likes

OkCornel: Hehehehehehehe Their Governing Body discourages "independent thinking". But how do you do research to study the past and not become an "independent thinker"? Their greatest enemy are very own publications. It is quite sad really. Currently, there are millions of people who give their entire lives, money, and time to the Watchower Organization - whose foundations are clearly not sturdy, but instead filled with LIES. 1 Like |

If I do harm to another man like myself, I am indirectly hurting myself too. But unfortunately, religion as a concept, has made us forget this simple fact, instead it has been is used as a tool to tear use more apart. Too many man-made doctrines and dogmas. 3 Likes 1 Share |

OkCornel: I completely agree with you. That is why it is important to learn how to control our own minds and our thoughts as well. Indoctrination as a tool of religion, is targeted at our subconscious minds. That is why indoctrination is powered by repitition - and this is how our subconscious mind is impressed with an idea - evil or good. This is also how advertising works. The more you hear or see something over and over and over again, it becomes your second nature - it becomes your reality. Religious leaders like the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses understand this power and they wield it perfectly. 2 Likes |

oteneaaron: Per the bolded part of your message… 1 John 2 v 26-27 is the antidote for false teachings. 26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
