......well it was 50 years ago!! Meanwhile, millions of JW's sing Diana Ross' song, "I'm Still Waiting."
w70 12/15 p. 758 par. 33 - End of Worldwide Witnessing Gets Nearer: "But all evidence is persuasive that the climactic end is near. When it does come, shortly, (maybe 1975?) where will it find us?"
"One thousand years is just like a day, in Jehovah's eyes. So, when we say that the end will come any day now, we really mean in the next two-to-three-thousand years."
LOL.
Did you happen to catch this month’s JW broadcast?
It was the edited version of the October 2022 annual meeting, with talks by gb guys and videos.
One of the talks was by The Most Boring Human On The Planet, Ken Cook. He was droning on about Revelation 11:18 and how God will “bring to ruin, those ruining the earth”.
Towards the end, he asks rhetorically, “so when can we expect this?”
After failed attempt at a dramatic pause, he made his usual limp attempt at enthusiasm by exclaiming “Soon! Yes! Very soon, God will blah blah blah (you know the rest)”.
I just thought it was hysterical - that tepid attempt at a dramatic pause and, then, in his best imitation of enthusiasm, he squeaks “Soon! Very soon!” as if it were the first time in recorded history that the WTS had used those words, instead of it being a repeat of their message for well over a literal century.
Idiots. The lot of the them.
Now that it is almost over, it is too bad that they didn't engage in the same ministry that God gave the apostles:
2 Corinthians 5:18-19 KJV
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Scripture also says that things don't end well for Watchtower and their lackeys:
Galatians 1:8-9 KJV
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.... so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
@ SB - So true!
The Bible says the "lamb of God" takes away the sin of the world, while the WTBTS/G.B. claim that Adamic death does the exact same thing! (based on their false teaching of Romans 6:7)
Looks like "God's organization" goes way beyond the things that are written!
FFGhost: "The Most Boring Human On The Planet, Ken Cook".
OMG, the dude just needs to stop. He is off the charts boring.
FFGhost: ““Soon! Very soon!” as if it were the first time in recorded history that the WTS had used those words, instead of it being a repeat of their message for well over a literal century."
I cannot believe he would say that as if it were going to excite anybody. You are right; they've been saying that for over a century. I heard it as a small child five or six decades ago, and it was worn out then.
@BM
Yes, too bad they couldn’t follow simple instructions.
Romans 6:7 is about what happens when a person accepts the New Covenant, the one they reject..
They die unto themselves. “Buried with him in baptism and raised unto newness of life”
It is just overwhelming how badly they screw it all up. But, then again they got their theology from a 7th grader - CT Russell aka Mr. Miracle Wheat himself.
