History has always helped in determining future events.
Humanity has made it through many chaotic conditions throughout its existence, and this only seems extreme because it is the condition that we're experiencing. So, I don't think the Biblical event Armageddon is anywhere near. Ever since the 1975 fiasco, I've stopped altogether going by the Organization's expectations.
Deep in my heart of hearts I believe that if I live to be 100+, I still won't see God's Kingdom established here on earth, although I sure pray for it every single day. I continue my spiritual journey in the Organization by faith, love and gratitude to Jehovah God, not by the expectation of Armageddon.
I attend my meetings, do my field service, and apply the Bible teachings in my personal life as best as I can, but at the same time I continue to better myself secularly and continue conducting my economical business as though I'll live long enough to need a good retirement plan and good savings in my old age.
Just the other day I was discussing with fellow JWs of my generation how much economical trouble will be at the doorstep of the 60+ JW generation that did not prepare financially to survive in their old age in this system of things. I look around in my congregation and so many are already draining the government worth of public assistance because they didn't build enough employment credits for a good SS pension, job pension, or savings. Several are forced to relocate to other countries where their US money will help them survive better.
If this system lasts, as I trust it will, and of course unless a most tragic event unfolds in my life, I'm ready to live in my old age the same as I do now in my youthful years.
Do not fear, continue living with much optimism!
