    Humans were eating and drinking and marrying when the flood came and swept them all away; sounds like what happened in Japan doesn't it?

    Yet on the contrary, today is nothing like the alleged "days of Noah" depicted in the Bible. The Bible states that when Armageddon comes it will fall upon unsuspecting victims exactly as it did in Noah's day... our world proves this passage false and I will tell you why.

    How many end times cults are there right now? How many have there been in the last 200 years? How many people right now, on average, believe the end of the world is near? Polls have been taken on this subject and the results are staggering! Many people, possibly the majority, will tell you straight up that the world is nearing it's completion. Does that sound like "the days of Noah" where everyone was completely unsuspecting while Noah, the only doomsayer, ranted on about the end of the world?

    No, today cannot rightly be compared to a time where no one suspected the end of the world. What does this mean for the Bible and our place in history?

    Even when I was a faithful JDub I would ask my family members, "do you think it's coming in a couple years?" If they said, "yes," I would say, "then it isn't going to, because Jesus said it would come at a time you DON'T think it is coming." They always thought I was clowning around and mostly I was, but even then I knew something was "off" in the Watchtower's calculating.

    The "it will come when you least expect it" passages are snake oil sales pitches.

    Because if it didn't what would be the point? Too bad for the generation of 1914... but they served faithfully so that we can enjoy the beginnings of the new world as the Great Day of Jehovah draws near!

    Just like today? Hardly- the Bible forgot to add,-- and playing video games, texting, talking on the phone,listening to your Ipod, surfing the Internet, watching TV in climate controlled home with electric lights, eating out at McDonalds, going to the dance club, rollerblading, bike riding, driving a car, riding on a train and flying in a plane, etc, etc- so today is nothing like the days of Noah.

    Good point! Good field service point - that is, to use on witnesses when they're in field service.

    I could post all the e-mails from my mom and relatives about the end coming the last years. Must be a long Great Tribulation. Slow start up.

    When Bill was hitting Monica I was hearing that it was like the End of Times. Just like Caesar and Cleo. Huh.

    Fast Forward. The e-mails all sound the same. Just like Watchtowers-Study editions. Same wording.

    Can you say C-U-L-T?

    I can.
