  here's a couple to check out if you can handle it without throwing up in your mouth.

  one of these even gives warnings about apostate sites and how to "safeguard" your mind from the attacks of apostates (lies...all lies...).

  WHAT DOES THE WORD...."SOON"....MEAN???

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the watchtower magazine has used the word "soon" on many an occasion to point out to its readership how near armageddon really is.. a word that can mean anything, in effect, actually means nothing.

  consequently, let's examine what "soon" actually means by definition and use.. there can only be three stages of time:.

  wouldn't you agree with that?

  "We're at the 'end' of the end!" "Right around the corner!" "We'll be there before ya know it!" "Any time now!" "Should be any minute!" "In a New York minute!" "Just a sec!" "I can almost taste it!" "My teeth are floating!" Yaddayaddayadda.......probably a lot of soaking wet Attends out there now.

  Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end. Circumstances such as poor health or responsibilities in connection with your family may limit what you can do in the field ministry. And, yet, the pioneer ranks include many who have health limitations, as well as some parents with families. --- May '74 KM, p. 3.

  Will you be finishing school soon? If so, what have you decided to do after you graduate? Or, are you one who has already finished school? What course of activity are you pursuing? Of course, there may be a tempting offer of higher education or of going into some field of work that promises material rewards. However, Jehovah God holds out to you young folks many marvelous privileges of service in his organization. Which will you decide to take up? In view of the short time left, a decision to pursue a career in this system of things is not only unwise but extremely dangerous. On the other hand, a decision to take advantage of what God offers through his organization opens up excellent opportunities for advancement as well as a rich, meaningful life that will never end.... Many young brothers and sisters were offered scholarships or employment that promised fine pay. However, they turned them down and put spiritual interests first. --- June '69 KM, p. 3.

  The influence and spirit of this world is to get ahead, to make a name for oneself. Many schools now have student counselors who encourage one to pursue higher education after high school, to pursue a career with a future in this system of things. Do not be influenced by them. Do not let them 'brainwash' you with the devil's propaganda to get ahead, to make something of yourself in this world. This world has very little time left! Any 'future' this world offers is no future! Wisely, then, let God's Word influence you in selecting a course that will result in your protection and blessing. Make pioneer service, the full-time ministry, with the possibility of Bethel or missionary service your goal. This is a life that offers an everlasting future. --- 3/15/69 WT, p. 171.

  However the whole anointed/non anointed issue is a fraud.

  This isn't "the truth", so how can it NOT be a fraud?

  I'ts the same word as" quickly"...the word Jesus used in Rev. 21 that gave us a hint as to when he'd return. One thousand years....two thousand....will there be a three thousand.....or will he be here 'sooner' than that?

  How's this for perspective....approximately 700,000 days have passed since then. Maybe it's a lottery-type thingy. Ya know, like waitin' for the 1,000,000 day payoff or somethin'. Oh yeah, I forgot...dubs don't gamble.

  The dubs will say yes unless she repents, but to repent for what for having said the truth?

  Barbara to WBTS: "Well, then, have I become your enemy because I tell you the truth?" (Gal. 4:16)

  WBTS: Yup.
