And why do Jehovahs Witnesses become so defense when you bring up the origins of there religion?
Whats wrong with accepting the fact that Pastor Russel tried to scam people with "miracle wheat" and Rutherford went to jail for treason?
If your a Jehovah and you leave a sarcastic response you just prove my point......YOUR AFRAID of the Truth.

The Watchtower claims to be a modern day prophet of God. Jehovah's Witnesses have set false prophecies of 1914, 1918, 1925, and here 1975. Armageddon was predicted to happen before the end of 1975 by Jehovah's Witnesses, Armageddon did not happen in 1975, therefore the Watchtower is a false prophet. Below are quotes the false prophecies of the Watchtower concerning the end times and Armageddon in 1975.
LOL!!! 5 times would be too many times to predict the future...

So what does your sarcastic response prove about you?
If Rutherford was quilty of anything in a federal court, then he couldn't have been a lawyer before the Supreme Court. He presented numerous cases prior to his death.
The so called miracle wheat was not sold by Russell, but by another group of people who donated the monies to the Society.
The so called miracle wheat is still the bases of the 'high produce' wheat farmers are growing today.
Jehovah's Witnesses are so afraid of the truth that we go door to door to share it with others.
Jehovah's Witnesses are so afraid of the truth, that we are willing to die for it.
Jehovah's Witnesses study their history and are proud of the faith and courage shown by those faithful brothers and sisters who face so much to share the Good News of God's Kingdom.

1. They never predicted te end of the world.
2. Russel did not try to 'scam' people.
3. Rutherford went to jail for sedition, not treason.
(not a JW, just know the facts)

I never knock another religion. However in one way they were right we are living in the end times right now. However I have never seen where God has said it will happen all at once in fact he has said that those who read and study scriptures will be expecting it. We are, but we have seen many of the prophecy's come to pass and are still looking for more that have yet to be fulfilled.

It never did. On June 21, 1918, Brother Rutherford and seven other leading Bible Students were jailed, with multiple concurrent sentences of 10 or 20 years. On appeal, they were released on March 26, 1919, and were later completely exonerated of the false charge of sedition. People like you thrive on lies and half truths.

I'm not a JW, but I do know that the old testament indicates that the earth will not come to an end.

They stopped predicting the end of the world because their false prophets were wrong over and over again. Only those truly freed by the blood of Jesus, baptized in fire and full of the Holy Ghost can truly hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches!

They tried at least 3 different times in history. I'm pretty sure they still do, but in publicity
