Well, it's been 50 years since Armageddon occurred.
Seems to me that things haven't really changed all that much. Is it just me or does anyone else seem to think that things have actually got worse???

I dont know how I didnt stumble on this thread earlier.
"" the end is really close now".
As your life passes you by
2015 We are convinced that the sign Jesus gave is being fulfilled right now and that the end is coming very soon.
2013 Very soon now, that day will be here, and Jehovah will destroy every part of Satan’s world.
Point this out to a JW, and they will probably tell you that Jehovah is patient and that one thousand years is like a day to him, and a day is like one thousand years.
Then, ask them if "very soon now" means 50 years. Or one thousand. Or anything at all.
Ask them: if the end might not be for another thousand years, why the urgency?
You probably will not get them to understand the problem with saying "very soon now" for a hundred years. At least not right away. Maybe they will understand it... very soon now.
Of course they do not define "soon" and while still arousing hope, it doesn't really foster anticipation anymore. I recall a video talk some years ago from a convention. Poor Kenneth Cook, probably the least dynamic Watchtower speaker ever, was evidently trying to rouse the audience to a fever pitch of excitement, after describing blessings in the new world he asked, "... When will these promises be fufilled?....SOON! Very Soon!!!.." He looked like he was expecting a tremendous burst of applause...which did not follow...
We are in the last of the last of the last of the last days of this system, a local elder told us.
It was 1995 then.

Theyll just say how God is not slow or something.
And how patient he is
