Received via email from a supporter,has anyone heard of this Watchtower cult development?
{...I just wanted to let you know about some recent and alarming news in the WTS. My sister, who is not baptized yet, has been going to the meetings on a regular basis with my Mom, who is full time pioneer. On a recent phone conversation, she told me that two weeks ago the congregation she was attending had their circuit overseer visit. There was a special talk, of course, in which the overseer told the congregation that 'the time is at hand', that 'preaching has stop already in over 20 countries' and that 'the great tribulation has started'.
My sister, who is only 25 and has two boys, is freaking out and asked for my opinion on this. She obviously still believes their theology and as any mother, she wants to protect her children. That's why she has been attending all these meetings. But that's another story. My sister also mentioned that this brother asked the whole congregation 'to pray for the anointed, for they are the ones who will suffer more on Satan's last war'...}
