The other night I watched as my wife did her usual pre-study for the study. I became increasingly puzzled as a flurry of activity ensued. The Revelation book was hauled out along with the Insight books and a few WT volumes. A calculator was produced and used extensively. I saw a number of notes being made on a piece of paper. Thinking that maybe this wasn't a real study but mabe a calculation of how much alimony she could get if she dumped me for a good upstanding JW elder I took a peek when she was out of the room and found this...........
Forty
Flood 40 days 40 nights
Isaac 40 years old when married Rebekah
Esau 40 years old when married Judith
Israelites wandered 40 years
Moses in mountain 40 days and nights
Spied out the promised land 40 days
Joshua 40 years old when he spied out the land
Othniel judge of Israel – peace on the land for 40 years
Israel given into the hands of the Philistines 40 years
Goliath took his position before Israel for 40 days
David reigned for 40 years
Solomon reigned for 40 years
Elijah sustained for 40 days 40 nights
Jehoash reigned 40 years
Ezekiah carried error of Judah 40 days and nights (day for a year)
Land of Egypt desolated 40 years
Jonah preached that Ninevah would be overthrown in 40 days
Jesus fasted 40 days and nights in wilderness
Jesus seen for 40 days after resurrection
Moses in Midian for 40 years (before thornbush)
Saul ruled for 40 years
Jehovah gave man 120 years to flood from warning ( 3 x 40)
2,520 years (63 x 40)
1914 & 40 & 40 & 20 (3 ½ times) = 2014
1975 & 40 – 2015
In spite of the obvious error on line 24 my wife in her frantic scribblings had also come up with a date of 2014/2015 for the start of Armageddon (october no less)
OMG.....WTF.
Please all you good little POZTATE™ boys and girls get out your calculators and confirm this NEW LIGHT that has come out. It might not be too late for us to sneak back into the Borg before the end comes. LOL
THE REALITY...When main stream rank and file dubs like my wife (a lifer) are looking into garbage like this it shows something lacking with the "spiritual food" being provided by the FDS and GB.
They are not happy with the resurrection hope and the idea of "no regrets" brought out at the last DA. They need a GOOD APOCALYPSE and they need it NOW.
They are beginning to slow down on the hamster wheel of life that they are on and are not a happy bunch. I am sure it will continue to go downhill from here.
Anybody know where Forty started from...A good JW site no doubt.
POZ.
