    There have been numerous more recent bungled predictions about Armageddon for late 2006 or sometime in 2007. I remember the Grand Boasting Session theme for 2006 "Your Deliverance Is At Hand. There was talk about how we weren't even going to see 2007. Yet 2007 is almost done.

    Who can forget the 2006 campaign about the end of false religion setting off the Great Tribulation. They were supposed to anger the world leaders so much that they would destroy all those other religions. That didn't do anything. In fact, to this day all the churches are alive and doing quite well.

    Then the Crapmorial had a number of threads about taking a good look at the table, since it would probably be the last time. I heard that exact same line in 1989, and yet it is nearly 20 years later and we are still having those wastefests. They were talking about how Armageddon would happen early in the summer. I can remember the spate of predictions that it was "days, weeks" ahead and someone even mentioned June 12, 2007 (which I knew would be another bust). Sure enough, all the churches are still intact and alive, and all those predictions busted as well.

    And now here we are, at the eve of another new year. 2008 is almost here, and no signs of Armageddon. Granted, Christmas lighting seems to have taken a vacation this year, but I still see a lot of churches still active (I guess the witlesses are taking the reduced lighting as a sign that the tribulation is just ahead). Time will tell if the Christmas Wimpout of 2007 is the result of religious political correctness (which I think does have everything to do with it) and not the impending doom of false religion.

    The reality is that those posters that are repeatedly predicting 2011 and 2012 are going to fare no better. And neither is the Watchtower Society when they start hawking 2014 and then 2034 as the date. Nothing is actually going to happen out of the ordinary, short of an event that no religious group can save anyone from. If we do get hit with an asteroid or destroyed with nuclear war or an epidemic, no cult is going to save anyone. If not, then it will be business as usual. Either way, the Watchtower prophecies will have failed, once again.

    WITNESS 007- Being pissed off is better than being pissed on ! At least ya found out before you died ! Now you can call today the first day of the rest of your life- make the best out of it , go be successful. Best payback we can get the Watchtower back at with ! Think about it

    Here lately I've felt that the christmas holiday was doomed as part of the merchants bewailing babylon the great . I still think the catholic church is the whore of babylon and it's demise will take place at the hands of the UN , probly because of all the child molestation and the fact that it's a religion and not an actual nation that interferes with international policy making and most of the nations in the UN are moslem.Anyway I still think they were on to a few things but they are pretty whacked .....

    I remember sitting in a Pizza Hut in about 1973... a small band of pioneers and friends (including myself).... discussing when Armageddon would come....

    Would it be in 1974 or 1975???

    I recall a brother who died few years back, an elder and a promiment JW at my country, and we were doing some work at the cementry of JW's. And he said I don't think that this system could carry more than 5-6 years. For sure the end will come very soon.

    IT WAS 1984....

    Later on finding out Russell made A FEW false predictions 1879, 1884, 1914 Then Rutherford 1918, 1925 he tells Bethel he made an Ass of himself regarding 1925...fair enough, but then rather then shut up he tells everyone Armagedon will come in the 1940;s when the Facists take over....then Franz invented "the Generations" theory and follows Russell' s faulty reasoning with 1975 {replacing 1884} you would think for God's sake after one or two false prophecies making thousands go Apostate, they would shut up, like they have now. The S.D Adventist's had ONE false phrophecy in the 1800's then realized that this was not encouraging to thier followers and never continued with it till this day. It's really a WITNESS OBSESSION, which has cost them millions of publishers. I just wish I had got a diploma or made alot of money...rather then spend decades slaving in the field service, dirt poor. But thanks, like you have all commented time to move on. Every New Years I just can't believe its 2008 then 2010 or even 2015 and I'm still here!!! It seems un-real I think wow I may die in 2060 of old age...and it will be in this system, still feels weird every end of the year for me. {I know I'm gonna be a very angry old man}

    Witness 007:

    I think you are going to end up a very happy old man - that you found out in your 30s and not in your 50s or 60s. Even that is better than finding out on your death bed.

    The real sick part tho is when they blame the R&F for taking the torch and running with it , like it's not their fault you read their publications and believe what they said....... I mean good God . They go on about how they were jehovah"s alarm clock keeping people chasing the carrots , which was a good thing bu they aren't false prophets by any means ..... arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!
