for a great parody on the apocalypse check out
Neil Gaiman's and Terry Pratchett's novel titled
Good Omens---The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter,Witch
it is armageddon with a very toungue and cheek twist,
for those who don't know Neil, he is the author of the comic book series Sandman,
great read if you have the time

Joanne,
It's fun to try and "think ahead" to see how the Society will rationalize the status quo 20 years from now. To be honest, I sort of borrowed the "spiritual Armageddon" idea from an old Time magazine article about the j-dubs.
Ozzie,
You bring up an interesting point. We can't state anything dogmatically, that's why it's kind of fun to talk about. I think the fact that the battle of Revelation 12 was shown as being heated is more of an acknowledgement of the power Satan has accrued (and the vast number of demons he has rounded up, and their fierceness as well) rather than to any weakness on the side of Jesus. Don't know, just speculation.
Borgfree,
The name Jehovah's Witnesses came out in 1931. The Nazi persecution of the JW's was mainly from 1933 to 1945. So they asked to be called "Jehovas Zeugen" rather than "Bibelforscher".

Gopher,
So what your saying is that armageddon is right around the corner?
Gopher,
Thanks, I sit corrected. It is just too early in the morning.
DC,
ROFL! Technically, Yahweh wouldn't be your assistant, but those on the WT Society's Writing Committees! They're expert in handling blinking lights!
Brutus,
et tu? Watch out for Spiritual armageddon. Any day now!!! (oh no, I didn't mean to sound like, you know)
Borgfree,
This one's on the house!
