βOn October 2, 1914, Charles Taze Russell, founder of the WatchTower, announced that βThe Gentile Times have ended!β
Tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.
To commemorate this Centennial occasion, I will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will NOT end tomorrow and that on Friday, October 3rd, 2014 GMT, we will still all be here, for better or worse.
Any die-hard JWs interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager? Still hoping the Big "A" is coming tomorrow and your loving God, Jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of Earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "Faithful and Discreet Slave," aka, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses?
If so, then I challenge you to put your money where your mouth is.
We can both put our money into an escrow account. If I'm right, then on Friday morning I get to keep all of your money. But if you're right, then on Friday morning, you'll get my money, assuming you can get it out of the bank because everyone in the financial industry will be dead too!
I'll also be dead, so I won't care, will I.
Any takers?
