One co said a few years ago that Armageddon is so close we can smell it. I'm smelling something but it ain't no Armageddon. -

Oh shit the WTS was saying that 100 years ago.
Got to keep people in a complacent state of fear or they'll start to loose some followers,
not to mention its good BS to put on the front cover of magazines to make them more attractive
to the public.

My strong recommendation is not to buy any green bananas. That is how close we are at the end of this system.
But then again, I forgot to ask who is the king of the north? Who will turn against Babylon the Great? When and How? There are so many things I am looking forward to as we progress towards this ending date. I think my green bananas will ripen.

How does Satan use this tactic today? If we neglect our Bible reading, our personal study, our prayers, and our Christian ministry and meetings, we may leave ourselves open to doubts raised by others. For example: “How do we know that this is the truth as Jesus taught it?” “Are these really the last days? After all, we are already in the 21st century.” “Are we on the threshold of Armageddon, or is it a long way off?” If such doubts should arise, what can we do to remove them?

Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save that which was lame, and gather that which was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth.”—Zeph. 3:18, 19, AS.
