  My Dad is an active JW - approaching 70 with nearly 40 years service - and he told me a few days ago that he doesn't think he will live to see armageddon but that he still has the resurrection hope. He also said that if there is no resurrection he wont know anything about it anyway. Quite sad I thought, that he has spent so much time looking forward to an event that he now accepts he wont actually see. I also think that it's his way of coping with the reality that it wont happen at all.

  Do we have the same father per chance neverin? It is sad isn't it?

  Great topic. Most think the end is near in some poor congregations. They speak how having children and college are soooo bad because we are so close. In my old hall, they almost giggle from the lecturn as they say similar things.

  My parents friends are now in their 80's, they know they will die. At 39 I know the same thing.
