Yes, I listened to it. My sister has received the invite to watch this from a hopeful relative. It's been talked about here and on Reddit. So I listened while doing other things.
Near the end of this heartwarming speech, he quoted the August 15, 2015 WT. He read this paragraph:
7 But how bad do you expect conditions to become before “the great tribulation”? (Rev. 7:14) For example, do you expect that there will be a war in every country, no food on anyone’s table, and illness in every household? Under those conditions, even skeptics would likely feel compelled to admit that Bible prophecy was undergoing fulfillment. However, Jesus said that most people would take “no note” of his presence, carrying on with life’s normal activities until it is too late. (Read Matthew 24:37-39.) Thus, the Scriptures indicate that world conditions during the last days would not become so extreme that people would be forced to believe that the end is near.—Luke 17:20; 2 Pet. 3:3, 4.
So this is describing about any time in the history of man. There doesn't need to be full blown badness, just enough to make life difficult and there you go, the Time of the End. And I love the part about the skeptics - God wouldn't want to force people to know it was the end or to be too noticeable otherwise some people might believe him!
And lest you think that this isn't serious ignoring the signs, Jesus will show up and:
10 Many of us have been keeping awake spiritually for decades. However, let us not allow the passing of time to weaken our resolve to keep in expectation. We need to be ready for Jesus’ arrival as Executioner to end this system of things.
The rest of the article gives examples of people who waited years for the end to come but are still going out in service. Habbakuk is touted as someone who also waited a long time and didn't tire out and lose his favored position in God's eyes.
It's right in peoples faces that the WT is using a publication from 5 years ago to send them into a do or die situation. 5 years ago they said the same thing. 5 years from now, they will tout the Covid pandemic as another reason we know it's the end.
Sigh.
