I know full well that Salty's only response is insults and killfiling,

        I only killfile the ones who have prove to me they don't wish
to learn but only insult.  I have NEVER insulted anyone when talking
about the Bible, on other subjects, yes many times.

        How can one except an idea as a savior? Since Atheism is the

        I have no crutch, just don't bother to deal with thoes who
twist words, like Satan like to do.

        Your view.



The Watchtower Bible

They would have done a lot better had their leader not picked an End
Times date and Time in the early 20th Century!  It helps to be vague
here - especially if the day and time passes with no end times!

         First off the only leader for the JW is Christ not any man,
second  they never pick any date or time as being the "End Times".

Don't even try it! They come and read to me every week!:

1914
was one of the more important estimates of the start of the war of
Armageddon by the Jehovah's Witnesses (Watchtower Bible and Tract
Society). They computed 1914 from prophecy in the book of Daniel,
Chapter 4. The writings referred to "seven times". The WTS interpreted
each "time" as equal to 360 days, giving a total of 2520 days. This
was further interpreted as representing 2520 years, measured from the
starting date of 607 BCE. This gave 1914 as the target date.

1914
Charles Russell, after being exposed to the teachings of William
Miller, founded his own organization - the Jehovah's Witnesses. In
1914 Russell predicted the return of Jesus Christ.

1914, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 and 1994
Jw’s: Here are other dates that the Watchtower Society predicted.
1975 looked likely as it was computed as the 6000th anniversary of the
creation of Adam in the Garden of Eden in 4026 BCE. They interpreted
Psalms 90:10 as defining the length of a generation to be 80 years.
Since 1914 plus 80 equals 1994, they predicted Armageddon would occur
around that year. The latest estimate was 6000 years after the
creation of Eve, for which no date can be determined with any
accuracy.

1914
End of World; Charles T. Russel, Jehovah's Witnesses; later explained
that Michael (ie Jesus) had defeated Satan in heaven

1914
; Jesus invisible and quiet return to the Earth. (Jehovah's
Witnesses, Book: This Means Everlasting Life, page 221) "So A.D. 1914
marks the time of Christ's invisible return in spirit." Explained
after they said he would return in 1914
