We are "On the doorstep of the New World" (Awake!)

Splash

Anyone see that quote in the latest magazine?

In full it says:
"Since the things are happening today that Jesus told us about, we know that we are right at the very doorstep of the new world, the world to come. We are moving into the new world. If you try to learn about God in the Bible and try to please Him, you may never die, but move right on into the new world fully and then never have to die."

Oh, sorry, my mistake.
That was actually a quote from the Awake! 1927 8/10 p. 729-733 'Growing Up in a New World on Earth' [by F. W. Franz]

Standing on the doorstep for 87 years? I mean, I've heard of dragging service time out, but really! If the "new world" hasn't answered yet, it must not be home.

The door must be locked and someone forgot the keys.

Or maybe it's just "Home but Hiding TM ".

Now THAT'S FUNNY!

Or, SAD.

Depends on your attitude.

The best thing to do at this doorstep is put a paper bag full of dog turds, set fire to the bag, ring the bell then run away.

Don't waste time waiting for Jehovah(TM) to answer the door and stamp it out.................he doesn't exist and neither does the door step.

"...the 'battle of the great day of God Almighty' ( Revelation 16:14 ), which will end in A.D. 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced," (The Time Is at Hand, 1908 edition, p. 101).

"The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day."
"It MUST come sometimes to 'jam to-day'," Alice objected.
"No, it can't," said the Queen. "It's jam every OTHER day: to-day isn't any OTHER day, you know."
"I don't understand you," said Alice. "It's dreadfully confusing!"

Or, to put it biblically, "expectation delayed is making the heart sick"
