    Just talked to my mom. She said that no letter was read and the information discussed did not say this at all. She said that they were reminded again that the end could be near considering some of the events going on in the middle east and the threat of chemical and biological warfare. Gosh, JW's are paranoid.

    Just more WTS screaming that the end is near. They must be desperate for recruits.

    Hi,

    Your thread gives us food for thought. I have said before, and I still do believe, that the WTBTS will make their own prophecies come to fruition.

    The tactics that you mention are so much like the actions of other cults we have known, right before they "go out". They are withdrawing inward and holding the ranks tight.

    It will be interesting to see how the various congregations receive this information. Hopefully, our contacts will be able to supply us with that information. I can almost see a great mass of people "coming out of the WTBTS into the world" and having to deal with all the things we have already suffered through. They will need support more than ever.

    I think more and more, the long arm of the JW, will reach out to control and manipulate in ways they have only touched on in prior history. This is going to be a very difficult time for those who are just "hanging on" anyway, those whose "self" has been taken away. Can you visualize the "weeping and nashing of teeth"?

    Trauma,

    Yep, we all remember the Jim Jones event. Everyone's response was "how can this happen?". But, it did happen.

    Those people were scarred to death, but they did just what they were told to do: drink the coolaid. I know my mother would probably be first in line to get hers.

    It gives me the shivers.

    Trauma,

    you know what's interesting? My friend and his mother mentioned the Koolaid last night too. Scary, because who knows what the WT would stoop to?

    The THOUGHT or IDEA that we are going to be hunted down, villified and persecuted is what most old-timers have been saying for years. It will be an us against them thing all over again. Then when everything looks bleak, out of nowhere, Jehovah will protect those getting close to his eyeball. Then deliverance will be at hand!

    I'm getting the same feeling. Maybe one can't see it in the annual report but just a feeling in my gut. Though I still many cars at the local Hall, I see less and less cars there on Saturday morning for field service. The little tid bits of information that I receive about JW's in the Chicago-land area reflect the fact that they are/have lost their belief in the WT. More and more seem to be making long term goals that are "worldly", without giving a thought to the "earthly paradise in my life time" belief. Perhaps the WT is sensing the same thing and they want to rally the troops with another "the end is near" cry.

    These are their scare tactics. They well know about the march on Friday, they know about the latest book releases, they know about silent lambs, and now they can tell the congregations to beware of various types of persecution. At this point, look out, the Society is going to be blasted throughout the media. And sure enough, in a few days it will happen, and then the witnesses will realize that this must be the truth, for they predicted this media attack, and here it is. What a bunch of sheep.
