Slimboy hi,

Would you have a link to that watchtower? I just don't remember it.

JWs will look for anything that will validate their strange beliefs.

They are a bullied, intimidated and beaten people who will also do anything to reassure themselves that those who are dominating and controlling them are telling them the truth.

I quit!

"Note how they don't actually address that objection (slippery buggers). Never mind though, the 'Truth' book is most illuminating "

Slippery buggers indeed!

I forgot about that quote from the so called "Truth Book" Nicolauo. I remember back when I was dubbing my way through life and using that book as the ultimate guide to life I had a discussion with my bother-in-law regarding that very quote. He was in college at the time and taking lots of science classes. He disputed the claim in the TB but and proved it wrong but at the time I was too brainwashed to understand.

*** gm chap. 10 pp. 141-142 A Bible Prophecy You Have Seen Fulfilled ***
Earthquakes
17 On January 13, 1915, when the first world war was just a few months old, an earthquake shook Abruzzi, Italy, and took the lives of 32,610 people. This major disaster reminds us that wars and food shortages during Jesus’ presence would be accompanied by something else: “There will be . . . earthquakes in one place after another.” As with war and famine, the Abruzzi earthquake was just “a beginning of pangs of distress.”

18 The 20th century has been a century of earthquakes, and thanks to the development of the news media, all mankind is very much aware of the devastation they have caused. To mention just a few, 1920 saw 200,000 die in an earthquake in China; in 1923, some 99,300 died in a quake in Japan; in 1935, another quake killed 25,000 in what is now Pakistan, while 32,700 died in Turkey in 1939. There were 66,800 fatalities in an earthquake in Peru in 1970. And in 1976, some 240,000 (or, according to some sources, 800,000) died in Tangshan, China. More recently, in 1988, there were 25,000 who died in a powerful earthquake in Armenia. Surely, “earthquakes in one place after another”!6

there have been always great earthquake, THEY ARE MISSING THE POINT JESUS SAID. That the end will come, with no signs at all, because what Jesus said was normally happening since the beginning, IT WILL COME AND NO ONE KNOWS IT, and IF THERE ARE SIGNS THEN WE WILL KNOW IT, but Jesus said NO ONE KNOWS IT thats why THERE WILL BE NO SIGNS

*** g87 12/22 p. 27 Earthquakes—How You Can Prepare for Survival! ***
Of course, it is hoped that you will never experience an earthquake’s horror. But with adequate preparation, many people have survived major disasters. Michiko, now 76 years old, says: “When I was a child, old people said major earthquakes came once in 60 years. I have often thought that their words have not applied in my lifetime. I have known countless severe earthquakes.” Yes, we live in the times of which Jesus prophesied that there would be “earthquakes in one place after another.” (Matthew 24:7) So be prepared! Stay calm and obey warnings and instructions issued by the proper authorities. You will increase your chances of surviving an earthquake!

WATCHTOWER OBJECTION: However,it does say that “great earthquakes”will
occur“inoneplaceafteranother,”making them one of the notable features of this momentous period of history.

FACTS: HISTORY tells us that there are great earthquakes before there came any JW in earth.

g 12/10 p.21 MoreMajorEarthquakesExpected***

Based on the long history of major earthquakes shaking our planet, it is fair to say that we should expect more in the years to come. The U.S. Geological Survey puts it bluntly by stating: “Large earthquakes will continue to occur just as they have in the past.”

Interestingly, one newspaper editorial commented: “The recent earthquakes . . . are all beyond the possibility of human remedy and only remind us of man’s limitations. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t act in cases where we can . . . , but it does mean we must continue to expect major natural disasters that are far beyond our control.”

Serious Bible students cannot help but think of the Bible prophecies that specifically mention earthquakes as part of the composite sign of the last days of this system of things.—Matthew 24:3, 7; Mark 13:8; Luke 21:11

Why do they even mention earthquakes.. first Jesus is not even clear that there should be an increase, or a that it is a sign (do not be misled). Then they deny their own statements in the same paragraph. Just drop the earthquakes, stop making a fool out of yourself.
