  With the ensuing unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, I wonder if some "zealous" brothers and sisters are saying: "This is IT!!!".

  Didn't Armageddon suppose to start in the MidEast? Isn't the unrest moving closer and closer to Israel? Tunisia, then Egypt and now Jordan?

  Hell, all we need is Syria to join (sister Yknot, how is the political climate in Syria :-) and we have Israel completely landlocked in commotion...

  I, thank God, am not amongst active dubs, but has anyone heard JW comments regarding the situation?

  There will always be witnesses that grab anything on the news to make their point. I guess many of us did the same when we were in. It didn't seem to matter whether Jesus or Paul had spoke of a particular trouble, we decided it must mean the end is just round the corner.

  A friend who has been inactive for years called me this morning to get my "take" on Eqypt/Jordan. I figured he wants us to get back in the Ark before the door is closed.

  Think of men in black where Tommy lee Jones said there is always some end of the world problem. I sold off all my guns and started to pioneer when the iron curtain came down in 92. I have since bought many of my guns back and left the org in 96 when they changed the def. of Generation. There has always been and always will be some catastrophe happening and the dubbs will always be attributing it to the end times. Its all bull shit so don't get caught up in the propaganda. That said humans do have some problems that will cause us a lot of trouble. We are at peak oil right now, the USA reached this in 71, the world in about 06. Water, fresh water is running low for what the population is using, and in the north pacific gyre its a bowl of plastic soup. We have a lot of man made problems and idiots like the Republicans keep saying it ain't so. Well we are most likely going to see 4$ a gallon oil in summer and those of us who are so stupid as to think the 1.35 a gallon gas a year ago was normal and kept the SUV and Silverado are going to wish they had the Honda.

  Well, Armageddon is supposed to be a global event, not localized to the Middle East, according to JWs. So this would merely be more 'churning of the sea', social unrest that is the result of man's rejecting God's sovereignty.

  But since the end should come during '[this iteration of] this generation', it is wise to keep awake....

  King of the North?

  For those who don't know the details it gets strange. First of it goes to the king of the north and the king of the south. If I remember the southern king is the duo anglo American power of the USA and Great Britain. The king of the North was Napoleon, then Germany under Hitler, and it was last known as the former USSR. The belief by those who know the details goes that the image of the beast or the UN would out law all religion. Jehovah would protect the dubbers from this wipe out of religion until the very last group of religion is destroyed. Then Satan who controls the UN would send the King of the north to destroy the Dubbers and this would be the trigger that would make Jesus step in to start the war of wars Armageddon. What most dubbers don't know is that the society is looking for the spark to ignite all of this. Like the Archduke Ferdinand's assassination sparked the first world war. So what dubbers who study deep into the bull shit of the cult think is that the unrest of some nation will culminate with the UN stepping in to rid the world of religion to keep stability. This sets the stage for the big H or big A which ever way you want to spell it. But its like shoveling shit from one side of the barn to the other, its still shit and its still there.

  When the UN steps in and rids the world of religoin there is a cry of peace and secutiry.
