    Not just JW's, but countless others (evangelicals etc.) are claiming that we're in the "last days."

    But........Bible Students/JW's have been spouting this fake message since the 19th century!!!!!!

    It's been a very successful recruitment tool & money earner though.

    However, the timing of Biblical events & language haven't kept pace with the org's chariot:

    Revelation 1:1 - "A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place."

    Revelation 3:10, 11 - "I will also keep you from the hour of test, which is to come upon the entire inhabited earth, to put to the test those dwelling on the earth. I am coming quickly."

    Revelation 11:14 -"The second woe is past. Look! The third woe is coming quickly."

    Revelation 22:6 - "He said to me: “These words are faithful and true; yes, Jehovah, the God who inspired the prophets, has sent his angel to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place."

    Revelation 22:10 - "He also tells me: “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for the appointed time is near."

    Revelation 22:12 -“‘Look! I am coming quickly,"

    Revelation 22:20 - “The one who bears witness of these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming quickly.’”

    Conclusion: Doesn't look like the "last days" have even started yet - lett alone (😁) being in the final part of the final part of them!

    The last days of the Jerusalem Temple worship came and went. It's a different age since then, I'd say. Check out the heavenly armies that Pliny and Josephus reported. Quite Apocalyptic.

    The last days started at the beginning of the church age, at Pentecost. The church age is the last dispensation before the Millenial Reign.... something people have been waitng on for many thousands of years.

    Prophecy scholars point to the rebirth of Israel in 1948 for a possible beginning of "end times".

    Last days/end of the age has to do with the 1,335 days. Once WW3 begins it will go on for a limited amount of time to be the pretext to put the UN in power. Once UN/8th king is put in power, the 1,335/last days begin.

    >>>WW3>1,260 days>30 days>45 days (total 1,335)

    (unknown amount days for WW3, but last days begin at start of the 1,335 days)

    Every Bible Writer maintained his predictions would be fulfilled shortly after the time he wrote his words. They were not.

    There are no Bible predictions to be fulfilled, those predictions have already failed.

    There are no "last days " , unless mankind does not solve the Climate Crisis.

    Hey, Phizzy! At our age, the only Last Days we'll have to worry about are our own.

    No worries about the 'Climate Crisis' -- the cloud seeding/chem trails/sun blocking (Bill Gates/sci spray) has us all covered. Right!!

    So we have to get through WW3 first before we can even start to see if your superstitious interpretation is correct. 🤦‍♂️ What a load of nonsense. The ‘last days’ is a trope that has nothing to do with any modern wars or political situations.

    What DoC said.

    Your life passes by,,,,waiting for "it".

    Before you know,,,,,you're old & weak. Unfulfilled& regretful. This must be just a horrible feeling. Cant imagine it.

    Dirt nap & no refund!!

    Old Phizzy, as DOC says, is very aware of his mortality, but being an atheist, I am not bothered by the thought of it, as theists, and J.W's are strangely, they seem to fear death.

    O.K, I'm hoping I have a few more years left perhaps, and as "only the good die young" I should make it to 120, being such a wicked old bastard.

    What a way to live your life though ! as J.W's do ! in fear of Armageddon, afraid to leave the Org. in case they "do not make it", so living a life that is not their own, until they die. All for nothing.

    I will die, one day, the World will go on, as usual, but the J.W Org. will wither and die, not so very long after I am Pushing up the Daisies.

    These are indeed my Last Days, but I enjoy every one of them, I do what I bloody well like, and like what I bloody well do !

    I was never truly happy, in a deep lasting way, ever in my life, until I left the Org. and its constant Doom and Gloom, with the Carrot on a Stick of some fanciful deluded idea of "Paradise".
