  Also used were the Daniel book, the Question box from the Kingdom Ministry from 1972 till now, subjects from the Insight volumes and a lot of Watchtower articles.

  I could hardly believe they would have nerve to bring out the Revelation Climax book. But as I thought about it more I wondered if they (GB), in their delusional state, somehow think it supports their claim to power. Maybe they think the Daniel book does too.

  What do you think? My source did not elaborate on the content of the Watchtower articles or Insight subjects. But why would they bring out that ridiculous Revelation book? I would be grateful for others insights. BTW my source is impeccable.

  They've brough it out plenty of times before. They will again, even if in a slightly different package. If you think of it as just another revision of "The Finished Mystery" its the most holy book of the Witneses religion. It's their Bible, their Talmud, their Q'uran, their Kitaub al'Iquan, their Tipitaka, their Rig Veda, their Book of the Dead, their Fama Fraternatis, their Book of Mormon, their Avesta, their Al-Ginza, their Age of Reason, their Urania Book, their Illiad, stop me please ok I am out of books. Anway its really important to the Society. They draw their power primarilly be being of a special class of people which is clearly defined in the Revelation: It's Kleenex-Destroying Climax At Hand! book.

  But why have the CO's study it as a large part of a refresher course?

  Maybe they are readjusting some of the points, such who is the scarlet-colored wild beast, how does God the "one thought" in their mind, who the anointed really are, opening up for the "given ones" to have a more direct line to "God's direction."

  Just some wild guesses.

  The clue is in the title -- Its Grand Climax Now at Hand -- it is a reminder for COs to remind the flock how deep we are in the time of the end - so get of your asses and get more filed service done - it really is as simple as that - some great pictures aof the UN being destroyed terrible beast!

  Maybe rethinking the UN?
  
  Maybe they are going to allow everyone to read Revelation again and help them decide that Revelation is a just a wierd bunch of psilocybin trip-reports that make no sense individually and make even less sence as a whole. Fear and Loathing in Patmos.
  
  Nahh..

  Have you ever notice how the WTS has backed off of the UN as an entity destroy BTG but talking about non-religious elements within it?

  Although the militarized horns from within the United Nations will be used to destroy Babylon the Great, that destruction will really be an expression of divine judgment.

  It's surprizing to consider how dynamic this religion used to be, right or wrong.

  It's all gotten sclerotic and calcified - they got nothing left but cut n' paste.

  They can never stop saying that the End Is Near - because this imagined urgency

  justifies all their misdeeds and lack of care in the organization.

  Fear helps keep people in line.

  It also pushes people away, potentially faster then they can replace them.
