  i will admit that your threads always get my attention first and foremost, mainly because they are the most amusing

  The subject matter of this thread was my response to a person who was concerned that present day events are leading to a nuclear war on some level. Other topics I present to the board have to do with global financial collapse. You may or may not be aware of this, but there are many, many people who are concerned about these issues. I don't know of anyone who considers the end of the world a laughing matter. Except, of course, that particular species of fool who makes sport of mocking Jehovah. When President Clinton was in office he said later that the thing that kept him awake at night worrying was the issue of terrorists with nuclear weapons. But, you say that you find these topics amusing, in which case you are either insincere, or you are merely a mocker and ridiculer. In either case, you are a fool.

  While a certain amount of caution is necessary in life, it is unhealthy to perpetuate a morbid fear of impending doom and apocalypse at every opportunity. Should the "perverbial" armageddon begin after reading this thread, what can anyone do?

  Only survivors would have the opportunity to learn whether the event was natural or man made. After gaining that knowledge, the inevitable responsibility, the greatest responsibility of all time returns to stare the survivor face-to-face, and that is LIFE!.

  Therefore, Double A has a valid point in avoiding the temptation to succumb to irrational fears and an improper use of the imagination. You know Robert (no pun intended), it would be a tragedy for you after 80-90 years of human life, to wonder before you close your eyes for the last time whether it had all been in vain. Imagine having devoted your entire life to a book written by ancient men knowing much less of the universe than we do today, and accepting their definition of past, present, future and faith, without ever having the experience of an eyewitness to corroborate even one page.

  THINK!

  yk-

  I don't know of anyone who considers the end of the world a laughing matter.

  including me, its certainly not a laughing matter. the part thats a laughing matter is your periodic predictions of the end of the world, or financial collapse.......your prophetic utterings come and go, and your deadline for these predictions come and go, and we are all thoroughly amused by your delusions.

  When President Clinton was in office he said later that the thing that kept him awake at night worrying was the issue of terrorists with nuclear weapons.

  well its certainly a concern, isnt it? i doubt that president clinton believes terrorists or financial collapse are about to bring on the beginning of the end of the world this year though, which is the opinion youve expressed.

  But, you say that you find these topics amusing...

  on the contrary, i never said the subject matter was amusing, this is another classic case of you twisting my words (its a deceit tactic). what i do find amusing rather, is your posts/threads in general (check my last post for confirmation of this statement), in which you constantly predict the "end of the world" or "worldwide financial collapse" or "ww3, the nukes are coming", in your typical proclamatic fashion.

  are you intelligent enough to tell the difference between me being amused by your delusions, and me being amused with the end of the world?

  Dubula.

  That's okay. I understand. Ridiculers have always been amused with that sort of thing. If you recall Lot's sons-in-law laughed at him when he told them that Jehovah was going to destroy Sodom. Of course they were smoked shortly thereafter. Christ said his presence would be just as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. So, of course there are going to be people that scoff at the warnings. History is full of scoffers and ridiculers who get crushed under the juggeranut. The fact is, Christ foretold this world's end, and from all appearances that end is imminent. You can laugh in the face of reality, but again, in the end you will be just one more deluded fool that get's smoked. / You Know

  yk-

  even more amusing is your constant yk/christ comparisons (im reminded of david koresh for some reason). there is one big difference though, christ didnt give a bunch of specific dates that were then proven wrong by the course of time. can you see the difference, and therefore why your credibility is quite a bit below jesus in the predicion department?

  one more thing, gotta comment on this one:

  The fact is, Christ foretold this world's end, and from all appearances that end is imminent.

  would you believe my jw parents fed me this same info when i was in middle school? it was common then among jws like yourself, and therefore schooling and jobs were of little importance, for armageddon was right around the corner.

  You are losing it man. I have no delusions. I am raw in your face reality. You are the one that is deluded. As for giving any specific dates, I have never done that. Can you find any mention on this thread where I have given any specific dates for a nuclear event or Christ's return. You sound like a raving lunatic going on and on about how YK is always wrong about dates. That's what I mean about your YK obsession.

  The fact of the matter, the way I see it, the world is in a critical stage and has been for the last five years or so, whereby any significant event could conceivably serve as the spark that detonates the initial phase of the tribulation. Jehovah tells his watchmen to stay on the watch so as to try to keep others awake to what is taking place in the world around them. A lot of people don't have time to delve into things to the depth and extent that I do. So, in that respect I think I provide a valuable service to a handful of readers who are struggling to stay in the faith in the waning days of this system. I do this by presenting various scenarios based upon current events that could serve as that spark. Just because Y2K wasn't the detonator, for example, or just because the LTCM collapse didn't set off the chain reaction collapse that I am anticipating, doesn't nullify the fact that the system is still poised on the precipice. Such threatening events demand that we consider them, otherwise we are no better than animals that get herded off to the slaughterhouse without a clue as to what's happening. Again, I have to point out your abject foolishness for insisting that just because the system didn't end yesterday or today, for that reason, tomorrow will pass uneventfully as well. That's just plain stupid reasoning. But, it's how most of you think.

  Posters often ask me to give a date, and as you know last September 3rd I accomodated the board with my little wager, to the effect that there would be a financial collapse or a war before the end of October. As it turned out, a war erupted. So, no doubt you found that amusing too I suppose. But, laugh as you may, that event has led to the present situation that caused one thinking poster to ask what was going on in the world. That's why I started this thread. It is evident that some people are in the process of examining and re-examing their faith in the light of the downwardly spiraling current events so that life and death decisions are being made on a daily basis. Therefore, I refuse to let ankle-biting morons and ridiculers prevent me from focusing these issues more starkly before those who wish to consider them. / You Know

  You Know,

  Let me tell you a little of my family history. In the 1920's my mother's four aunts became Bible Student's, old name for JWs. At that time the religion was 45 years old, which is much older than you are. The end was "imminent" at that time, and had been all those 45 years. All four of those aunts are dead and have been for a long time. In 1945, my mother studied with two of those aunts and became a JW. At that time the religion was 65 years old, and the end was near. My mother has since died of old age. I left the religion in 1969 when the relgion was 90 years old and yes the end could happen any day now. I am retired and have grand children. Now, here we are 123 years after all this got started. I think the JWs give new meaning to the word "imminent.

  Let me tell you a little of my family history...

  Oh brother. And that's supposed to convince me that just because they believed the system was going to end back then, and it didn't of course, that now I am supposed to ignore reality? What foolish thinking. The amazing thing to me is that they simply had faith in the Bible's prophecy even though they didn't have a real deep understanding of a lot of the deep prophetic aspects. For example, back then there was no possible way back then that the world could have instantaneously collasped into the grip of fear. Heck, WWII was a tremendous logisitcal undertaking. Now WWIII can be started by remote control from anywhere on the palnet. Now it is easy to see how Jesus' words can be accomplished. But, given that, it is a testament to the blinding power of Satan that so many who should be able to see, can't. / You Know
