    It wouldn’t be fair if all of a sudden at anytime in human history without any hint or signs, Jesus shows up to judge and execute everybody.

    Why are JW's are always telling God what is and isn't fair? Fair would be if God struck us all dead for our sins. Your next breath is a kindness from the Lord.

    And thankfully, that isn't what happens. The Anti-Christ does all the killing. Jesus shows up as

    Savior to end the rule of the Anti-Christ and keep people from totally annihilating each other. "Unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved".

    This is the GT period. Christians will have been long-gone by then, raptured to heaven in the twinkling of an eye.

    The Bible reveals God’s fairness. For example, John the Baptist preparing the way for the son of God.

    In the meantime, since 1914 he has been alongside those in his congregation and the preaching work.

    Fm: 1914? as far as the coming of the kingdom goes, bible references to that iconic date are not as clear as Colossians 1:13,

    showing, the kingdom existing then, at time of writing for the congregation, its members and its mission. Co.1:13, for wt believers a colossal elephant in the room, if they cared for bible truth.

    The answer to the question of "WHEN is the kingdom of God coming?" is never. If the prophecies about the coming of the kingdom of the god (alleged god) were true, then the kingdom would have arrived well over one thousand years centuries ago.

    Where is this promised kingdom of God and the presence of Christ, a kingdom and a presence of a sort which no human could sincerely deny is actual? From the time of our ancestors from 2,500 years ago and even from nearly 2000 years ago until today, humanity throughout the planet Earth has continued to ruled by humans - independently of the (alleged) god.

    Furthermore, where is the battle of Armageddon and the Great Tribulation which were foretold nearly 2000 years ago? Also, where is the Day of YHWH/Jehovah God (a great battle by YHWH/Jehovah God) which was foretold about 2500 years ago? A momentous event of a magnitude comparable to the biblical claim of the great worldwide flood of Noah's day was foretold to come, but it has not come. Gospel NT books ("According to Mark", "According to Matthew", and "According to Luke") claim that Jesus said the coming of the Son of Man (Jesus at his alleged return in power and glory) and the end "of the system of things" would be like that of the coming of the flood of Noah's day.

    These things show that the expectations stated by the writer of 2 Peter 3 are false. The book called "The Second Of Peter" claims to be written by the Apostle Peter of Jesus Christ, but whether that person wrote it or someone else, the person has been shown to be a false prophet! Modern critical scholars of the NT say that book falsely claims to be written by the Apostle Peter. They also say the book was written around the year 100 CE (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Epistle_of_Peter ) and in an attempt to explain why Jesus hadn't returned yet and why the end hadn't yet come. We are living about 1900 years after that time and from that vantage point in time it can be seen that the claims of chapter three have proved hollow. The wise (in regards to Bible understanding and how history relates to unfulfilled predictions of the Bible) with eyes to see recognize this.

    Christians, please open your figurative eyes! Please 'see' the truth of this matter! Please get out of false religion (namely any religion which teaches supernaturalism) and please adopt scientific naturalism. If you do so you will more accurately perceive reality and be more enlightened and you will be freed from bondage to supernaturalistic thinking, and from bondage to hurtful human rulers of religion.

    Many years ago I vaguely remember the Borg saying something along the line that since Jesus was enthroned as King in 1914 Jesus and the faithful who have been resurrected since then would/could have been told By Jehovah when the GT and the big A will occur .

    But I can`t remember if it was in print or just spoken about by the GB.?

    Anybody else have a recollection of this ?

    If any Christian leader or wannebee comes up with a date, he/she is downright dishonest if measured by what Jesus said.

    Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matt. 24:36)
    Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father. (Mk. 13:32 NWT)
