  Here it is 2004 and the society is still holding out the 'Carrot' on a stick.This Carrot,or 'promised rewards' is still coupled with threats.The threats being do more ,do more,preaching and meeting attendance are vital to your survival of the Great Tribulation / Armageddon that is looming ( new word now being used--AHEAD )No more dating just Ahead.

  Although the the great tribulation / armageddon is just "AHEAD",not to worry if its not.Even if you lose your life now because of old age,( or waiting for parts of three centuries to taste of this carrot,promised rewards )or sickness,an accident,or persecution,even if this should happen to you,while waiting for the gt/arm.Jehovah will resurrect you to life in paradise.

  Marvelous Freedom Ahead awaits those chasing the carrot.

  Blueblades,who cautions that AHEAD could be an undetermined number of years,that's why the society says "Even if you lose your life now because of old age?????"

  True. Same old routine year after year. Do more...Stay focused...right around the corner...

  Even hamsters get tired of running in their wheel after a while.
