"With everything that is going on in this world it really is wonderful to be spiritually awake! The world is groping for answers to solve their problems. Jehovah is revealing to us what is about to happen. So lift your heads up because your deliverance is near!!"
So, Jehovah is revealing to us (through the WT? Through the Slave?) what is GOING TO HAPPEN? But, i thought they never claim to be prophets or inspired? Obviously their members are being given a different take on it.

LOL, Outlaw! Maybe she's a Newbie, she sounds so excited about the predictions!
So, specifically WHAT is going to happen?
I'd sure like to know what this JW thinks she's being given a 'heads-up' on that WT thinks it knows.
So lift your heads up because your deliverance is near!!
Any day now. It's right around the corner.
Every time I hear "deliverance is near" I remember:
Other "timely reminders" can be found in earlier Watchtower Magazines:
APRIL 1, 1997. (p.11) The increasingly difficult conditions on earth are striking evidence that a vast change—indeed, a grand deliverance—is near at hand! For whom? Deliverance is nearing for those who pay attention to the warning signals and who take appropriate action.
MAY 1, 1993. (p.26) While we eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us show zeal in telling others about God’s loving Kingdom promises. Deliverance is at hand!
OCTOBER 1, 1982. (p.28) This requires a true Christian today to be a person of strong faith in the Almighty God and his promises to the faithful ones. The “deliverance” that is now at hand for persons of such faith is not initially the heavenly glorification of the remnant of the spirit-begotten disciples of Christ and their being taken away from the earthly scene of tribulation, although that is in store for them finally. Rather, the “deliverance” is the putting of a stop to the wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes and the rabid persecution of the true followers of the reigning King, Jesus Christ, this by the destruction of all enemies of Jehovah’s kingdom by Christ in the “war of the great day of God the Almighty” at what is called Har-Magedon.
APRIL 15, 1972. (p.233) Mankind desperately needs a Liberator from these ruinous demonic heavens. Jehovah God has raised up the needed Deliverer! Jehovah’s marked time for the desired deliverance is at hand!
MARCH 15, 1967. (p.168) True Christians can rejoice because God’s kingdom is near and deliverance from this wicked system of things is at hand.
JULY 1, 1959. (p.388) Despite the woes that have come upon our generation, those who walk in the light from God can be happy. Deliverance is at hand.
OCTOBER 15, 1954. (p.624) Instead of sobbing about the present anguish of nations and praying for its abatement, true Christians see that these turbulent times, indeed such calamities as famines, earthquakes and wars, are fulfillment of Bible prophecy pertaining to the sign of the “last days,” hence they rejoice, as Jesus said they should. (Luke 21:28) They rejoice because they know deliverance to a new world is at hand, that this present evil world must end in that “great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again,” namely, the war of Armageddon.
OCTOBER 15, 1949. (p.307) Deliverance and release have come! Jehovah’s witnesses can testify to that. So on with the song in a continual crescendo, that more and more people may hear the message which tells of the fuller and complete deliverance and release so near at hand for all men of good-will!
OCTOBER 1, 1941. (p.303) These see it is their privilege now to be his witnesses, and to declare his name and his glory in the earth. As his witnesses these faithful ones the great Jehovah God bids to go and tell the glad news to the sorrowing world, and to advise mankind that Jehovah is God, that Christ Jesus is the King of kings, and that the day of deliverance is at hand.
JANUARY 1, 1940. (p.10) For some time many of God’s people have said, and say: "Oh that the salvation of Israel [spiritual Israel] were come out of Zion !" (Ps. 14: 7) Let all such who have hope and who look for salvation now rejoice because the day of deliverance is at hand. By faith we now see the climax of Armageddon and, like David, continue to say: "But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation."--Ps. 13:5.
DECEMBER 1, 1939. (p.363) Jehovah is the King of Eternity. He has enthroned Christ Jesus, his King of the Theocratic Government. Jehovah has appeared in his glory, and the day of deliverance is at hand for all those who flee to the Theocratic Government and give their allegiance and unselfish devotion to the Theocracy.
JULY 1, 1936. (p.195,196) Let Jehovah’s witnesses now be strong in faith and bold in the warfare, knowing for a certainty that the day of deliverance is at hand.
SEPTEMBER 15, 1930. (p.281) God has now given his people an understanding of The Revelation which he gave to Jesus Christ to show unto his servants. The publication of the two books called Light, giving the explanation of The Revelation, will greatly anger the Devil and all who have not the spirit of Christ. We may therefore ex- pect the opposition to the kingdom to quickly become stronger than ever. It will be of short duration, however, because the day of deliverance is at hand. The remnant is now giving honor to Jehovah’s name by faithfully serving him. ‘
AUGUST 15, 1926. (p.248) To this end the Lord is now sending forth a worldwide proclamation that the time of DELIVERANCE is at hand.
JANUARY 1, 1921. (p.13) Behold, the evidence daily increases that the old world has ended! The kingdom of heaven is here! Let the saints look up and lift up their heads. Let them sing aloud for joy because the day of deliverance is at hand.
AUGUST 1, 1918. (p. R6300) In the clear light of unfolding time-prophecy, we see that we are now living at the very end of the reign of sin and death; that the night of sorrow, pain and tears is almost over; that the glorification of the 1ast members of the Christ body is very soon to be completed. Yes, beloved, "the night is far spent" [about ended] and the glorious day of deliverance and blessing is at hand. Even now the first faint streaks of dawn appear. Then let us cast away every encumberance, everything that would hinder us in the slightest degree in running successfully our glorious race. Let us press on with renewed vigor, looking neither to the right nor to the left, but keeping our eyes "fixed on the glory of the prize," and soon, please God, the victory shall be ours!
JUNE 1, 1910. (p. R4627) Thank God for the great Deliverer; thank God also, for his great day of deliverance, the Millennial age, now nigh at hand!
MAY 1, 1907 (p. R3990) The Lord assures us, too, that he knows all about these matters and is very sympathetic, far more so than we, and he is both able and willing to grant the deliverance needed at the appropriate time. What confidence it gives us now when we look back and behold that Spiritual Israel has been preserved through all these centuries! that notwithstanding the fiery affliction and adversity that burned against them, they have not been consumed! How it comforts and cheers us now to hear the Lord's voice telling us of the deliverance that is just at hand, and sending by us his messages of love and power to all those who have and are to hear, and who are desirous of having liberty from the power of the world, the flesh and the Adversary.
NOVEMBER 1892. (p. R1464) It is therefore his will rather that we should suffer injustice than that we should spend our strength in fruitless efforts to interrupt the present order of things. And so the kingdom of heaven suffers violence now, but such will not always be the case; for the time of her deliverance is at hand.
DECEMBER, 1881. (p. R302) Let us, dearly beloved, see to it, that we not only bury ourselves and our wills in Christ's, but also keep our bodies under--dying daily until fully delivered into the blessed kingdom --which deliverance we believe to be so very nigh at hand.
SEPTEMBER, 1880. (p. R134) Let us, dearly beloved, live up to our covenant, and not only bury ourselves and our wills in Christ's, but also keep our bodies under--dying daily until fully delivered into the blessed kingdom--which deliverance we believe to be so very nigh at hand.
"The world is groping for answers to solve their problems".
Well, honey, the world can grope all it likes but it can keep its dirty paws of me. I'm a good girl I am.

A happy Witness! I think most are not happy because of the New Light pushing "The End" further into time. JWs Say The Darnest Things! Now get this, out in service I am working with one brother who try's to pretend he is some kind of Greg Stafford or Hal Fleming or Heinz or Furari. Now you have to get the feel for our car-group, we have the circuit-overseer sitting in the back looking out into space when brother Zombie said according to Nomstradamus, we might see "The End in the year 3535". Quick to correct false thinking the circuit overseer explained "as Jehovah's Witnesses, we don't go around making predictions like Nomstradamus did and "The End" will be here shortly, the world's birth pains are telling us the baby is almost born!"
Also the CO said that Nomstradamus got his dates from Satan, no other explanation!
Think of all the intelligent conversations you are missing by fading from the Brotherhood, it's a blast!
Thanks Benny.. I just saved this and sent it to the plantation overseer.
My deliverance WAS at hand!!! It occurred about an hour ago!
My bell rang and with eager anticipation I opened my door and standing there was my deliverer holding the Chinese food I ordered!!!!
