Just got this Email this morning...anyone know if there is any truth to this? Haven't been to an assembly in a while, so I can't say that I've heard one way or the other. Normally I'd just disregard this as someone talking blarghey but it came from someone who usually doesn't send me that kind of stuff...
Truly Sobering to where we are in the stream of time...

FW: Matthew 24:14 Has Been FulfilledHi Friends,
I just wanted to let you know about an important piece of information I heard first hand, this morning (actually on a recording of a Bethel representative giving a talk at the 2007 Special Day Assembly in Houston , TX ). *This same message was presented last weekend at a San Diego Special Day Assembly*. The brother specifically said (and repeated, for emphasis) that
the Faithful and Discreet Slave has decided that they have FULFILLED the scripture at Matthew 24:14! There are only 3 countries that do not have Witnesses living in the vicinity ( North Korea , Somalia , Afghanistan ). These 3 countries "bears community responsibility" for their inhabitants. These 3 countries have been preached to and currently have literature, though no witnesses live there (because Jehovah will no longer send us to places where our lives would be in danger).
The brother also said the GB is preparing for Jehovah to "put into their (governmental rulers)hearts" his purpose, then the great tribulation will INSTANTLY be upon us. He also said we have VERY LITTLE time to get our affairs in order, before we (the great crowd and the rest of mankind) are "locked into" judgement.
After hearing that recording twice, I have to admit it is VERY sobering and I have tears in my eyes and shivers down my spine. I am so ready for the end to come, but I also realize that I need to continue doing as much as I possibly can do for Jehovah before that time.
Let me know what you think.
