Hola Jim,We met when you and Marilyn lived on Calzada San Jose in Ajijic. I have a JW daughter who recently initially indicated that she wanted to visit, haven’t seen her for about 40 years. In a couple of E/mails I commented on the prophesies that the WBTS has made in regard to the end of the world. She took offense and has decided no to communicate with me anymore for expressing apostate information.She said “this my last E-mail to you “. I have read with great interest excerpts from your book Apocalypse Delayed on the internet and have become fascinated in learning a lot of history of the religion of which I belonged for over 16 years. I now wish I had bought a copy from you when you were here.I haven’t answered her last E/mail, I wonder if she would dare to open it. Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with an active JW that is not open to honest criticism of there false prophesies. She mentioned that the Society does not claim to be infallible, however clings to her faith in spite of the unfulfilled predictions.

As a former J.W. I remember the misinformation campaign carried out against Mr. Penton. We heard all sorts of stories, that Mr. Penton had a pride problem; that he tried to lure the weaker ones away from meetings and field service; that he’d attempted to sell one of his books at the conventions.

At no time did I ever hear that he had exposed the Society’s false teachings/failed prophecies.

Later, researching those same topics, I stumbled across a site referencing his book. The title said it all: Apocalypse Delayed.

The Society doesn’t hesitate to expose religions’ supposed false teachings, while they disfellowship members for engaging in the same activity–if it’s directed at their own organization!
