My wife just had the same conversation with her dad. I feel sad for them. They're so focused on a hypothetical event in the future, that their lives are passing them by.

Why No Knocking ???
by Jeannine inmy husband and i are not jw's.
my husband sympathizes with the religion because his entire family is "in".
as a result, he has come to know a local jw (non-relative).

Hurricane Katrina, Heeding Warnings: Lessons for Armageddon?
by Oroborus21 inwhy do people not heed warnings when the evidence is clear that disaster is not only possible but highly probable?
are people so arrogant that they think that "it can't happen to them"?.
"get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues.".

"Concerning that hour no ones knows......"
Remember that all her calculations are based on the faulty 607 B.C. date. Thus they are bunk!

Just chill out man! Don't try to soak it all up in week. You've got four years ahead of you.
Don't let your grades slip due to partying, or the party will end early, and you'll be back home with mom and dad washing windows for a living.
