    My mom called me this morning and in the course of the conversation I enquired about her boss' wifes health - she was recently diagnosed with cancer.

    My mom told me and then launched into the whole, "oh how I wish Armageddon would come" speech - "Just imagine princess, how good it will be to see Granny and Grampa (neither of whom were witnesses btw) and how good it will be if people dont suffer "(refering to the woman with cancer - also not a witness btw) and so on - "oh how I wish you would come back" (somehow these other people will be there and I won't? WTF? I kept saying if it comes"if it comes mom, if it comes", and she just didn't hear me or maybe wouldn't hear me. She told me how she wakes up each day and says Jehovah - today would be a good day for the end to come!

    Nothing like stating the morning with a prophesy of doom from Mommy!

    don't get mad ok...but your post reminded me of this sienfield episode.

    New scene.
    Elaine's hallway. The door opens, Puddy steps out in his bathrobe. There's a
    newspaper in front of the door across from Elaine's.

    Puddy: Elaine, they forgot to deliver your paper today. Why don't you just
    grab that one.

    Elaine: 'Cause that belongs to Mr. Potato Guy, that's his.

    Puddy: C'mon, get it.

    Elaine: Well if you want it, you get it.

    Puddy: Sorry, thou shalt not steal.

    Elaine: Oh, but it's ok for me?

    Puddy: What do you care, you know where you're going.

    Elaine: Alright, that is it! I can't live like this.

    Puddy: Nah.

    Elaine: C'mon.

    Puddy: Alright, what did I do?

    Elaine: David, I'm going to hell! The worst place in the world! With devils
    and those caves and the ragged clothing! And the heat! My god, the heat! I
    mean, what do you think about all that?

    Puddy: Gonna be rough.

    Elaine: Uh, you should be trying to save me!

    Puddy: Don't boss me! This is why you're going to hell.

    Elaine: I am not going to hell and if you think I'm going to hell, you should
    care that I'm going to hell even though I am not.

    Puddy: You stole my Jesus fish, didn't you?

    Elaine: Yeah, that's right!

    Elaine places her hands beside her head, index fingers raised as 'horns' and she
    emits a gutteral growling sound.

    (((((Princess))))) The rest of the day will be much better.

    Thanks Lisa - that brought a smile to my face - you gotta love the ridiculous reasoning! And gotta love Seinfeld!

    Do you think your mom would consider professional help?

    "She told me how she wakes up each day and says Jehovah - today would be a good day for the end to come!" And I say..."Wake up to a bright sunshiny day, Princess!" Life is good:-)

    Someone explain this to me, jw's on a whole believe we (all non jw's) will be destroyed and look forward to that day. But they all individually seem to think those they love personally will be resurrected and once they hear the jw message once again will 'get it' and be able to live forever on paradise earth, except for all you evil ones who have left knowing full well the message of the wt. Why do they think that if we didn't accept the nonsense in life we will later after we have been cloned or recreated?

    Next time, you might ask: "Well Mom, if you got your wish and Armageddon comes today, do you think I'll survive? And if not, is this your way of saying you wish I'd just drop dead?"

    It is so sad that for JWs to be truly happy, 99% of the world would have to be destroyed first.

    What I heard about this (at the Kingdom Hall) was these resurrected ones will be SO GRATEFUL to be alive again, they'll do anything to keep alive the second time. Evidently that includes following direction from Watchtower-heads.
