Those are the words of a prominent Russian TV broadcaster.
President Putin recently appointed Kiselyov as head of Russia's newly restructured state-owned news agency Rossiya Segodnya (Russia Today), which was set up by an unexpected presidential decree to replace the longstanding Ria Novosti and Voice of Russia media outlets in December.
Do you think the Watchtower writers are doing some recalculations?
Will they switch the identity of Babylon the Great from a religious entity to the USA.
"Rev. 18:16
"Too bad, too bad-the great city, clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet and richly adorned with gold ornament...because in 1 hour such great riches have been devasted...cried out as they looked at the smoke from the burning of her and said 'What city is like the great city?' And they threw dust upon their heads and cried out weeping and mourning and said "Too bad, too bad- the great city, in which all those having boats at sea became rich by reason of her costliness because in 1 hour she has been devastated."
They probably won't change their idea that Babylon the Great is Religion. If the USA were Babylon the Great it would require them to conclude that at some point they would have to physically get out of the USA. That would be too much to ask JW's to do. And besides they've got that marvelous building project underway in Tuxedo.
