the speaker actually said that 'it is no longer years, nor months - yet weeks and days'.
That speaker will drive a 2014 Chrysler in no time....

I think this is the New Testament passage that you are looking for: Mark 13
Things to Come (NASB) 1 As He was going out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, behold what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another which will not be torn down.”
3 As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately, 4 “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled?” 5 And Jesus began to say to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. 6 “Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He!’ and will mislead many. 7 “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end. 8 “For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
9 “But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them. 10 “The gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11 “When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit. 12 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. 13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.
14 “But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 15 “The one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house; 16 and the one who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat. 17 “But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 18 “But pray that it may not happen in the winter. 19 “For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will. 20 “Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days. 21 “And then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ’; or, ‘Behold, He is there’; do not believe him;22 for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect. 23 “But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance.Just to reinforce the key verse that applies to the Witnesses:
"And then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ'; or, 'Behold, He is there'; do not believe him; (NASB ©1995)
GWT: "At that time don't believe anyone who tells you, 'Here is the Messiah!' or 'There he is!' (GOD'S WORD®)
KJV: And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
ASV: And then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ; or, Lo, there; believe it not:
BBE: And then if any man says to you, See, here is Christ; or, See, there; have no faith in it:
DBY: And then if any one say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or Lo, there, believe it not.
WEY: "At that time if any one says to you, 'See, here is the Christ!' or 'See, He is there!' do not believe it.
WBS: And then, if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or lo, he is there; believe him not.
WEB: Then if anyone tells you,'Look, here is the Christ!' or,'Look, there!' don't believe it.
YLT: And then, if any may say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Lo, there, ye may not believe;

Did anyone here get the talk from the CO, using a pencil to show the time of the end we are in?????
the eraser was the beginning...........and we are at the very tip of the lead now????
and they would hold the pencil or pen(heard the talk twice)

OMG purps! I thought it was just our insane CO that came up with this crap. He used a pen instead of a pencil. I wonder if there's any significance to that? Hmmmmmmmm?
Seeing this was pretty much the end of the end for me as an elder. I faded, and haven't been back. Thanks for posting this. I really thought it was unique to our CO. Now I know otherwise.

Remember the WTS is a small world....the COs and DOs have training at Patterson once a year now. They hear all the tired illustrations from the instructors and each other.
We are now in the toenails of the image in Daniel's dream.
I would say we are now in the toe jam.
