  For those who still hold to the belief that the last 109 years have been part of "The Time of The End", consider this:

  It would have been quite understandable if those alive during the middle of the 6th Century AD believed the "End Was Nigh."

  - Particularly when the sun appeared to have switched itself off!

  Civilization was set back for almost a century and things were never the same again; with the Eastern Roman Empire by then set on an irreversible path of decline and eventual collapse.

  I am sure those poor people did believe the end is nigh , as they did in the 14th C. and others .

  That is interesting and impressive that it is supported by tree ring evidence and other ice core samples.

  A lot of OT history revolves around the late Bronze Age Collapse.

  Personally, I suspect the Org keeps hollering “any day now, any day now, any day now” ‘cause by this point, they know that the Big A is about the only thing that could save ‘em from all the consequences of their screwups.

  I remember giving a Public Talk where in my intro I read a lot of quotes from over those Centuries about being in the Time of the End, the audience nodded along, thinking they were talking about our day, I then revealed when they were from, the latest one had been from the 1700's !

  I guess I then had to talk about how we knew we really were in the last days now, I cannot remember the content, but I was not awake then, so probably I gave out a load of shite.

  I wonder how long they can keep flogging this dead horse of "any day now" ? It reminds me of the centuries when the Jews used to say the mantra "Next year, in Jerusalem", mind you, that came true for some in 1948 , the J.W thing never will come true !

  It would seem that almost every generation has experienced its "Eve of Destruction" moment - as demonstrated by this video clip from 58 years ago:
