That is always the refrain of JWs when confronting former JWs who point out all the false prophecy, the false teachings and declare that they are not putting their lives in line with this religion simply because they say the end is near.
First of all. I don't know when the end will be. That is no reflection on me as saying that I think this 'system of things' is all hunky dory. Crap happens. Personally, whether it ends tomorrow or in the year 5450 makes no difference. God has let 'this system of things' go on as long as he has. My opinion obviously doesn't figure into when the end is! Do they condemn God every year that he doesn't end it all? I am so sick of this. There is a thread on Topix referring to it asking( http://www.topix.com/forum/religion/jehovahs-witness/TJS862P0PRHQB0HNI) "You would really want this horribly wicked world to go on that long? I sure wouldn't. I hope to see this one gone long before then." (asking whether the Borg will be in existance in 100 years). Why are WE wicked to even question it and they think that their version of God is so righteous and holy when they were saying similar things nearly 150 years ago, questioning the integrity of Christians who questioned their timelines? Frustrates me that non JWs are being tarred with the idea of loving this 'wicked system of things' when it is their God who has allowed THIS (in their view).
What is their reasoning for this kind of inane statement?
