    ...expect all the rank and file/WT to use this tension to hype up their doomed message...

    Haven't been to the meetings for 6 months now...any talk of this at your local Dingdom Hall for active ones?

    At our recent Circuit Assembly the DA and CA both encouraged praying about "our brothers" in lands undergoing persecution. One mentioned young brothers that are imprisoned in Korea for military duty refusal. During the weekend, in two different prayers, mention was made of the ongoing persecution in Korea.

    My thought was that the great majority of those in attendance were drawing a mental connection between the constant attention that Korea is getting in the news and the direct persecution of JW's there.

    I also think that the majority of the attendees couldn't even find Korea on a map!

    And, they'll be convinced that Satan is using his agent (evil governments) to persecute those faithful to the rules of the WT organization.

    I haven't heard anything myself, but ever since the "NuLight" of the USSR being the "King of the North" burned out, I often thought that a re-ignition of the Korean War would result in China (a rising communist near-super power) backing NORTH Korean interests, and the U.S. ("Anglo-American World Power") backing SOUTH Korea.

    Result?

    J-dubs running around, apoplectic, hair-on-fire: "AAAHHH!!! We finally know who the King of the North is!!! This is it! Here comes the Great Tribulation!!"

    I also think there will be a lot of ''king of the north'' talk form this.

    They will get supa hyped. they are already hyped cos they think this year is gonna be major. If big A doesn't happen this year, a lot of things will happen setting the scene for the big A next year. 2014.

    It is going to be an interesting year.

    Jehovahs witnesses thrive on newsworthy events such as this ,it all points to how close we are to the end of this system of things .

    never mind that their were numerous events in the late 1800`s

    Whenever a JW makes a statement like "conditions have never been worse!" or "with world events lately, this system doesn't have any time left", I like to say, in a very sypathetic tone: "Really? I always think about how bad it was during WWII...hundreds of millions dead, a World War, nuclear weapons being used on civilians, millions being executed in concentration camps. Imagine what the Witnesses thought about how close Armageddon was back then!"

    That usually shuts them up pretty quick.
