Mr. Falcon…
Let the ‘fear mongering” continue. Check out this quote from the April 15 2012 WT on page 22. Par 1-3
"THE execution of God’s judgment upon Satan’s
world will break out with striking suddenness.
(1 Thess. 5:2, 3) As “the great day of
Jehovah” unfolds, earthly society will descend into
chaos. (Zeph. 1:14-17) Hardships and deprivations
will be the order of the day. It will be a time of distress
“such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning
until now.”—Read Matthew 24:21, 22.
2 As the “great tribulation” moves toward its climax,
God’s people will be the target of an all-out attack
by “Gog of the land of Magog.” During this attack,
“a numerous military force” will come against
God’s people “like clouds to cover the land.” (Ezek.
38:2, 14-16) No human agency will come to the defense
of Jehovah’s people. Their survival will depend
on God alone. How will they react when staring
extermination in the face?
3 If you are a servant of Jehovah, do you have
faith that Jehovah can and will preserve his people
alive through the great tribulation? The apostle Peter
wrote: “Jehovah knows how to deliver people of
godly devotion out of trial, but to reserve unrighteous
people for the day of judgment to be cut off.”
(2 Pet. 2:9) Meditating on Jehovah’s past acts of deliverance
can fortify us for what lies ahead. Let us
consider three examples that will instill in us confidence
in Jehovah’s ability to deliver his people."
I too used to be held captive in fear with this sort of rhetoric. One person from the local cong had read this and was telling a group of jdubs how these paragraphs just sent shivers up his spine, I had to bite my tongue and after a few others started to chime in, I had to leave the room.
