This is really nothing new. Every time the world has a volatile nature to it, the JW's (and other apocalyptic religions) start ranting and raving about this time being "IT." IT'S gonna happen. IT is right around the corner, as evidenced by world events. IT happened during all the major wars, and IT's happening now. Look at all the shIT that happened during the year 2000. The different sects saying this is the end of the world; computer people saying Y2K would bring world markets to their knees.. blah blah blah. God doesn't run on our schedule. He doesn't view the year 2000 as significant as we do just because it has 3 zeroes in it. Hehheheh. The same thing happened in 1900, with lots of strange little cults and sects being started up shortly before, and ranting and raving that this was the time to have a "come-to-Jesus" epiphany. Come to find out ... IT will happen, if IT is going to happen, when IT happens. Not because a lot of little Napoleon's think they can predict IT. God says IT will come as a thief in the night.. and I kinda believe him about that. For those not religious, please disregard. IT is just an opinion. <smile>
