  The television series Hell on Wheels takes place right after the end of the American Civil War (1865). In one episode the main character has this brief exchange with a soldier-

  Sentry:
  What's the world coming to, sir?
  Cullen Bohannan:
  The world ain't comin' to nothing, son. Same as it ever was.

  There is a book entitled Everything You Know is Wrong. I believe there is a chapter that deals with the issue of the misbelief that things are getting worse. The author shows facts and data that shows just the opposite.

  RULES & REGULATIONS:

  I was not yet in the JW religion in 1975. I was blissfully unaware of this fiasco and living my life in the Catholic religion and working and enjoying life like a normal young adult.

  I was enticed in several years later. The rest is history. I’m Glad I’m out now. It’s sad to read about what went on pre-1975 in the religion and how JWs sold businesses, homes, etc…only to find out it was all for nothing. I’m glad a huge chunk of people never came back to the religion. (The old adage of fool me once..). The religion’s cleverly worded response you quoted is, of course, denial on their part. Just where did the rank & file get the idea from??

  But, getting back to the latest world event in the Ukraine:..Witnesses and any of these other religions should be careful what they wish for.. They have no idea what they will suffer. I have No wish to live through an end of the world scenario and I’m sure most sane, sensible people would not want to either!

  an amped-up wishing for the End by JWs who didn’t prepare or save for retirement ...and don’t want to deal with the consequences!

  The book of Daniel foretold a rivalry between “the king of the north” and “the king of the south.” (Daniel 11:25-45) Watch the video Fulfilled Prophecy—Daniel Chapter 11 to learn why Russia and its allies can be identified as the king of the north.*

  Nope. Nothing in Daniel has anything at all to do with Russia (or anything else happening now). See Daniel's dreams and visions and What Does the Bible Really Teach about Gog of Magog?

  Jesus Christ foretold a time when “nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.” (Matthew 24:7) Read the article “What Is the Sign of ‘the Last Days,’ or ‘End Times’?” to see how the Bible shows that wars today fulfill Jesus’ prophecy.

  What JWs say about Jesus' 'presence' and the 'great tribulation' also contradicts what the Bible actually says. See What Does the Bible Really Teach about Jesus' Presence?
