In all fairness to the Botchtower, they have never said the world would end. Just Satan's rotten system of things.

That was interesting.The ends times goes way back.So I truly believe the end will never come.I believe that humans will one day cease to exist, but the earth will be fine.To quote George Carlin "The planet is fine, the people are fuc*ed.I just hope some Jw's stumble upon this article, maybe it will sow some seeds of doubt

It's not semantics, the WTS has consistently said that the earth would never be destroyed, and only "wicked" followers of Satan would be destroyed.

An Eternal Purpose for the Earth
In the beginning, the earth was directly linked to God’s purpose for humans. "As regards the heavens, to Jehovah the heavens belong, but the earth he has given to the sons of men," wrote the psalmist. (Psalm 115:16) God’s original purpose for mankind was thus connected with the earth, not with heaven. Jehovah gave the first human couple the commission to expand the garden in Eden to cover the earth. (Genesis 1:28) This purpose was not temporary. Jehovah affirms in his Word that the earth will last forever: "A generation is going, and a generation is coming; but the earth is standing even to time indefinite."—Ecclesiastes 1:4; 1 Chronicles 16:30; Isaiah 45:18.
