A unbaptized you already posted this stupid thread once before, give it a rest and put down those dam Watchtower magazines.
If you think for a second that an economic downturn is the start of the GT, I'd suggest you make an appointment with a psychologist right away.
Apocalyptic fear mongering cults like the JWS feed of peoples fears and ignorance to gain support and money, there is no relevance to reality what so ever.
By the way the JWS are not the only group that has pulled this stunt, if you care to do some research.

I think of it as more of a painful correction.

If fear mongering is the outcome, you've come to the wrong forum to do so. We're all sick of hearing the scare tactics, and it doesn't work.
It's just a recession. If you are scared, go live in Africa for a year.
Being negative is a learned behavior. Unlearn this before it's too late.

unbaptized,
As you can tell from the nasty tone of many of the above responses, you are indeed onto something.
Ostriches HATE it when you try to get them to pull their heads out of the sand.
BA- Great tribulation on the way.
PS- “No one knows when that day or hour will come not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father,because just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be when the Son of Man comes.In those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage right up to the day when Noah went into the ark.They were unaware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That's how it will be when the Son of Man comes.At that time two people will be in the field. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind.Two women will be grinding grain at the mill. One will be taken, and the other will be left behind. “So keep on watching, because you don't know on what day your Lord is coming.But be sure of this: if the owner of the house had known when during the night the thief would be coming, he would have stayed awake and not allowed his house to be broken into. So you, too, must be ready, because at an hour you are not expecting him the Son of Man will come.” - Matthew 24:36-44
PPS- Food Riots, Tax Rebellions By 2012...Trend forecaster, renowned for being accurate in the past, says
The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union is now forecasting revolution in America, food riots and tax rebellions - all within four years, while cautioning that putting food on the table will be a more pressing concern than buying Christmas gifts by 2012.
Gerald Celente, the CEO of Trends Research Institute, is renowned for his accuracy in predicting fut More.. ure world and economic events, which will send a chill down your spine considering what he told Fox News this week.
Celente says that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts.
"We're going to see the end of the retail Christmas....we're going to see a fundamental shift take place....putting food on the table is going to be more important that putting gifts under the Christmas tree," said Celente, adding that the situation would be "worse than the great depression".
"America's going to go through a transition the likes of which no one is prepared for," said Celente, noting that people's refusal to acknowledge that America was even in a recession highlights how big a problem denial is in being ready for the true scale of the crisis.
Celente, who successfully predicted the 1997 Asian Currency Crisis, the subprime mortgage collapse and the massive devaluation of the U.S. dollar, told UPI in November last year that the following year would be known as "The Panic of 2008," adding that "giants (would) tumble to their deaths," which is exactly what we have witnessed with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and others. He also said that the dollar would eventually be devalued by as much as 90 per cent.
The consequence of what we have seen unfold this year would lead to a lowering in living standards, Celente predicted a year ago, which is also being borne out by plummeting retail sales figures.
The prospect of revolution was a concept echoed by a British Ministry of Defence report last year, which predicted that within 30 years, the growing gap between the super rich and the middle class, along with an urban underclass threatening social order would mean, "The world's middle classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest," and that, "The middle classes could become a revolutionary class."
In a separate recent interview, Celente went further on the subject of revolution in America.
"There will be a revolution in this country," he said. "It’s not going to come yet, but it’s going to come down the line and we’re going to see a third party and this was the catalyst for it: the takeover of Washington, D. C., in broad daylight by Wall Street in this bloodless coup. And it will happen as conditions continue to worsen."
"The first thing to do is organize with tax revolts. That’s going to be the big one because people can’t afford to pay more school tax, property tax, any kind of tax. You’re going to start seeing those kinds of protests start to develop."
"It’s going to be very bleak. Very sad. And there is going to be a lot of homeless, the likes of which we have never seen before. Tent cities are already sprouting up around the country and we’re going to see many more."
"We’re going to start seeing huge areas of vacant real estate and squatters living in them as well. It’s going to be a picture the likes of which Americans are not going to be used to. It’s going to come as a shock and with it, there’s going to be a lot of crime. And the crime is going to be a lot worse than it was before because in the last 1929 Depression, people’s minds weren’t wrecked on all these modern drugs – over-the-counter drugs, or crystal meth or whatever it might be. So, you have a huge underclass of very desperate people with their minds chemically blown beyond anybody’s comprehension."

unbaptized,

BA- Great tribulation on the way.How can you tell what our tone is? Am I missing something here?
I understand one thing about the bible, BA. That is that nobody knows when this second coming is. Anyone who predicts it is prophesying - and I do hope it isn't wrong.
As I said earlier, those that think it's bad are ignorant. They have no idea what goes on outside of the good-ol'- US of A. And obviously haven't had much history lessons either.

Perhaps you need to take a look at your postn(as an example)- it comes across as having your feathers ruffled- as if you are putting your fingers in your ears (other posts are even more close minded), notwithstanding the following:
I understand one thing about the bible, BA. That is that nobody knows when this second coming is. Anyone who predicts it is prophesying - and I do hope it isn't wrong.
I agree with you on this. But there is no reason that believers should not be looking at world events and wondering how much further can it go? In fact, believers should note every possible indicator that the Lord may be returning soon. This forum, of course, is open to both believers and unbelievers. But when I see close minded comments ala this CAN NOT be the great tribulation, it makes me realize that those who say such things are not really UN-believers.
As I said earlier, those that think it's bad are ignorant.
Bad is relative. Depends on what you're used to.
They have no idea what goes on outside of the good-ol'- US of A. And obviously haven't had much history lessons either.
Could be. Or perhaps they are relying on information that they have not yet presented, or information that the majority disbelieve.
BA- Cheers.
