My mom just told me the theme of the next special assembly day. "The time left is Reduced!" Now how many times have we heard that?

I remember studying with this couple in 1982 and how the wife emphasized how close the end was. I still remember her comment "If we make it out of the 80's, I will we shocked!"

Really?! Geeze, if the Craptower says it, it must be true!!
Here's a nice little quote when they were spewing the exact same line nearly 60 years ago:
"We are to walk in his steps and follow his example, preaching the Word. This is not the time to become lax and indifferent and to think that the battle of Armageddon is far away. "The time left is reduced."-----January 1, 1951 Watchtower: par. 13 Measuring the Visible Part of the Restored City
The Witnesses back then (my grandmothers generation) were just as convinced as the Witnesses today that Armageddon is 'imminent'. How many more decades are they going to keep falling for this crap?

And 100 years from now they will saying the very same thing, apocalyptic cults just like this one are structured on fear to support themselves.
Spewing out the spiritual fear mongering bullshit keeps the flock working and intact, it worked well for them in the past and
it most likely will work for them in the future, they are not naive about human psychology.
If the organization were to let go of expressed tactic the whole religion might just collapse over on to itself.

Reduced from what to what? "Reduced" is a relative word that has no actual meaning unless you assign data points to it. For everyone of us, time starts being reduced the day we're born.

The time left reduced means....not the end of the world...but the "end of the time for the gentiles".
The religions have done their part...they have taken on the Great Commission...to 'go ye therefore and convert all nation.'
Everyone has now had plenty of time to hear their speeches of conform ---or else (or else god will kill you).
Time is up!
They are getting ready for action!
There is a plan and they will be coming for those who have left the church.
They will stop all this enlightenment and truth telling.
They have to do something quick now to maintain their hold on the few they have left.
Why are the census workers out early marking our front doors with GPS?
Wasn't Passover something to do with marking doors, too? I think this marking started around that time.
Perhaps it's to help the stealth 'hand of god' people to find their way in the dark when they come to execute Luke 17:34.
It's not prophecy; it's a script!
"I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. "
