Be careful, remember knowledge puffs up but love builds up. not everything discussed on this forum is correct but many things are.
If you have the hope of a prominent position in supporting Jehovah's sovereignty you have to watch all your steps carefully.
The organization still does a great job of teaching people the basic truths, leading moral lives, and staying clear (mostly) of Satan's political system and that will be even more important in the future.
When I was baptized decades ago I knew 1914 was iffy because I saw they were using two different 70 year periods when the Bible indicated just one, but that was about all I knew. I thought well what does it matter, who am I, it will probably work itself out. Now that many years have gone by my opinion is more informed but I am very glad I didn't make any rash decisions. (It is more important now because it affects the understanding of events in Revelation including chapters 11-13.....and it is sad that it has stumbled so many people over the years.)
There are many people out there to be reached with basic Bible truths and there is a very organized effort in over a thousand languages to help these people learn it. They are precious. I understand some of the foundation is faulty and dangerous in places but I don't see anything better for these people out there.
