I read the first article on the site and found it full of lies and half truths.

Following is an extract from the article. While the WTS did not specifically say that anything would happen exactly in the coming year 2000, the WTS has claimed much more for the year 2000 than any other group of people. Before year 2000 the WTS expected that the earth would have experienced Armageddon and there would have been paradise on earth. And now they have the gall to say, "others fear a cataclysm" when that is what the WTS has been teaching for over 100 years.

Their article is a total dishonest attempt at avoiding what the WTS has claimed for the new century. How dishonest!

> Jehovah's Witnesses and the Year 2000
> ...Jehovah's Witnesses do not point to the year 2000 as the specific year in which God will act… Still, many await with curiosity the approaching threshold of the next millennium as marked by the Gregorian calendar. For some it is more than just curiosity. They view the year 2000 as ushering in a new era—a turning point in history. Many associate the fulfillment of Bible prophecies with the year 2000. Some expect a spiritual manifestation of great proportion. Others fear a cataclysm—the end of the world. Jehovah's Witnesses do not share these dramatic hopes and fears for the coming year…There is no evidence whatsoever that either the year 2000, the year 2001, or any other date set by humans has anything to do with God's timetable.

See the following link for what WTS has been really claiming for, and beyond, year 2000:
