  All referring to Armageddon, The Great Tribulation, etc. Some of the stuff in them would get them referred to a mental hospital. For lock up, not just treatment. I'm talking full out crazy talk. Tom Cruise would be proud !

  This nuttiness you speak of VIII has been going on since the beginning of the JWS for almost 100 years, this is what mental indoctrination is

  and has been perpetrated by the editors of this religious publishing house. Simply put Armageddon and the end of the world sells $$$.

  VIII it would not be surprising if this apocalyptic cult exploited this economic recession as a spring board that the end is coming....count on it

  Hello VIII! They must think you've forgotten that Armageddon is right around the corner. And they must think that god won't notice if you're serving him only to save your own neck. But, in fairness, if they truly believe this stuff, they're afraid of losing you, which is natural. They just don't realize that this kind of 'encouragement' really has just the opposite effect. If nothing else, this will probably help you to crystalize in your own mind what you really do and don't believe at this point. Screaming into the pillow at this point is better than saying something that might bring consequences you're not ready for yet.
