Alright, my family, just when I thought they couldn't get any stupider, then find a way to outdo themselves.
Talking to them the discussion led to me saying, "if Armageddon is soon, why is the Watchtower building new facilities in Patterson and buying all new printing presses."
the answer, (you better be sitting down for this)
"Well, the work needs to be done, and besides all those buildings WILL survive Armageddon, and will be continued to be used."
I was floored. Do all the JW's think they and their buildings are invinceable ?
maybe this was "new light" at the assembly ??? (i doubt it)
