Many religions other than JWs believe we are at the "end times". Some individuals believe the earth will really be destroyed either by means of God or man in this century.
What's your take?
I cant help thinking about it from time to time when I note world events vs. my upbringing and indoctrination for the first 31 years of my life.
I think either I am a born sucker for conspiracy theories or I developed the weakness from having been raised a witness.
I am aware the Mayan calender runs out in 2012. I have worked midnights for the last 5 years and listened a lot to "Coast to Coast" radio with George Noory, it used to be Art Bell.
That show is always talking about the end of the world or it used to. I havent listend in the last year.
There is a fellow Zechariah Stichin who has decifered the Sumarian text. The Sumarians are the oldest civilization known to man.
He claims from his research that there is a planet that orbits the earth on a very big orbit probaly once every 6 or so thousand years. Its called planet X.
That is why modern man does not know of it, We only discoverd pluto in the past 100 years.
Anyways when this planet comes around and enters earths gravitation it causes the earth to start spining the opposite way. That is called a pole shift.
According to his Sumerian text that is what happened when the biblical flood came about 6,000 years ago.
Also when that planet comes around beings from it come to earth. The Gods. If we evolved they would be the missing link to explain things. There is also a book called chariots of the Gods by a Dutch man. Von Daniken.
Like any theory there are those who disbelieve but I dont read hyrogliphics. And you were asking what my take was. Thats the best I have at the moment.
