"Those days will be cut short " - question

    My JW friend (the only one who does keep in touch) is really considering "fading".

    The trouble is that she was raised a JW and is finding it all REALLY difficult, plus her father is a prominent JW.

    She mentioned to me the scripture (Matthew?) that says that the last days would have to be cut short for the sake of the holy ones. She says they always taught that this referred to the anointed and that they'd all die off if Jehovah didn't cut short the days of the time of the end.

    She says that if they EVER change thoughts on this doctrine she would immediately leave.

    Has this been changed? Is there "new light"?

    If there isn't, they're sure to change it soon, because the anointed are dying fast.

    The scary thing for you will be when Jehovah DOES cut the last days short. But not all is bad news for Jehovah will forgive those that humble themselves....Isaiah 1:18.

    Try some of that humility yourself SOJ.

    If Jehovah's Witnesses are that holy and God cares only for them, well I'd rather be murdered by God than live in a world where children are raped and beaten and called liars, where their abusers are hailed as examplary and love is only a word that is never shown to anyone.

    It's a reference to the Great Tribulation and how terrible it is supposed to be. In fact, if god DIDN'T bring Armageddon, apparently, then mankind would kill itself off. This is pure speculaion on their part, becaus the "prophecy" was actually about the end of the Jewish system of things in 66 / 70 AD, and how "provision" was made for Christians to escape Jerusalem. It's BS to try to apply it to our day.

    What Goober Of Joober is threatening you with is a rather rusty, dull sword that has been used for 120 years with lessening degrees of success. Goober Of Joober's Viagra prescription must have run out, so he is trying to regain his emasculated manhood by threatening ex-dubs that are still twitching from years of spiritual abuse. Way to go, Goober of Joober, pick on the weak. Why not bring your vaunted hit and run tactics up against some Keystone State Czar-triol Tollkillah??? I'll leave you twitching, bleeding, and begging me to just to let you escape with some shred of your unholy faith intact.

    The saddest thing is that Goober Of Joober doesn't even believe the crap he says on here, he just does it to frighten the ones who have just escaped. It saddens Goober of Joober when he can no longer have pretty young girls brought into his fetid JC room so he can lewdly go over all the details of their innocent fumblings. Damnation, when he exerts the power that his Satanic masters have given him, he realizes just how little he has traded his soul for - because his victims escape to a happier life outside the borg. He wants to keep humans pinned up like a sixth grade science collection; but sadly, his Faustian bargain has left him with nothing but halitosis, a weight problem, and the unutterable loneliness of a wasted life.

    Oblivion awaits ye, Goober of Joober. You aren't worth damning.

    In the last 2 years there was a list of the six evidences that this is the last days. ONe of the points #5 I think said that some of the anointed would still have to be alive before the end came.

    I'll double check it when I get home, Sirona.

    Czar,

    Thanks for springing to my defense and putting goober in his place.

    Blondie: That would be really helpful. Even if they've not changed it YET at least its worth looking at because they might be "leaning" that way. I think they did that before they changed the 1914 doctrine.

    If anyone else knows the answer...pls let me know!

    I am quite certain that the idea that there would be anointed left on the earth when Armagedon strikes, is still current.

    However, since the late 80's, the number of anointed has not been dropping. The count is still hanging in the 8500 range. Man, I wish I had sold life insurance to those old coots. They must be immortal.
