huge disaster equals the great tribulation that will lead into the big A.

Maybe they will have the updated book that will includes some instructions just before the big A.

Why don't some of you call Bethel and find out?

Sometimes , it's what the WT literature doesn't say that reveals the truth. Good catch.

It's one of the things they will write in the wide margins.
"Kiss the asses of the Governing Body if Armageddon starts.
Everyone knows it's kissing Jehovah's ass by proxy.
Tell the publishers to kiss elders' asses for the same reason." -

I recall them referring to Isaiah 26:20, dear MD (may you have peace!). Problem is, the prophesy is directed to JAH's "people"... which they aren't (particularly those who are not "in union" with Christ... which is most of them).
Again, peace to you!

There are no instructions because there is no coming "Day of Vengeance of the Almighty". If there ever was a "god", he's grown so weary with the petty squabbles and inanities of humankind - much like a small boy growing tired of watching his ant farm do the same thing over and over- that he no longer concerns himself with the affairs on this little blue planet. ( Which brings to mind a quote from The Watchmen "You are the smartest man in the world. But I fear the smartest man in the world as much as I fear its smartest ant.")
To me, Armageddon will happen in about 8-12 billion years from now, when the universe finally grows so large that the stars themselves move far away from each other and have cooled, barely able to sustain life. I'll be gone way before that, so .... no worries here. (It's called science, not the mysticism and superstition that has crippled the minds of man for millennia)
Contemplate the grandeur of the cosmos, the sheer magnitude of eons of time and space, and a petty, jealous "god's" "day of judgement" is still just a blip on the radar screen.
