Yes. I do.
We are living in the end of a certain society-, culture-, morality- and economy-system that stands for immense wickedness and perversion. This system falls by its own system-immanent failures, not by a super-natural event..
many religions other than jws believe we are at the "end times".
some individuals believe the earth will really be destroyed either by means of god or man in this century.. what's your take?.

according to the watchtower, a resurrected being is a body that has placed within it the memories and attributes of a person who had lived before.. the "life force" is transferred to the body to bring it alive.
also according to the watchtower, the "life force" is impersonal and contains no personality.
it is like electricity in that it is an actuating force.. ok, so in the future there will be billions of people with memories of having lived on the earth.
The resurrection of the dead is not a wts teaching. It is a biblical teaching
Fact is: we do not know anything about resurrection....
All what has been said to this matter is pure speculation. Nothing else.
In the bible, no verse supports the idea that all synaptic brain operations (= memory) during the life of a human being got saved.
Maybe in a new world system mankind has the technology to perform time travels into the past to visit people and to take them into the present without violation of the physical causality. Nobody knows.

you have to understand three things to comprehend the significance of 1975.. 1975 was the end of the watchtower society as we who lived in the 50's and 60's once knew it.
it would forever change because it was exposed for all the world to see as a group of liars and deceived dupes.. it all began with a baptist farmer named william miller who sat down with only his bible and a concordance and a crackpot idea that a .
a "day for a year" and the gentile times meant something profound which would effect his own day and time.
JWs predicted something big would happen in 1975, and sure enough it did!"
Exactly.
The main problem of the WTBS is they are too much focused to bible verses and numerology. Because of too many trees, they do not see the forest ...

snowbird (sylvia): I never believed 1975 was to be the end of anything
Sorry, this is not quite right. I already posted it yesterday in this thread.
1975 was a turning point in the world history. Similar to 1914. But it seems nobody takes care. Even WTBS ignores the facts.
In 1975 began the rising of state indebtedness, up to point of no return (worldwide!) - as a result of the Yom-Kippur-war in Oct. 1973 and the following oil price explosion. 1975 began the epoch of shortage of crude oil (peak oil 2010? - perhaps earlier..)
There is no way out, as you can see. This situation leads into a new war for oil and other raw materials. Read the works of important economy scientists, please.

in the town of ingelheim am rhein this week there is a "week of creation" (schopfungswoche).
there are exhibitions, discussions and other things happening.
one of the organizers is the workgroup "religious communities" (arbeitskreis glaubensgemeinschaften) of the local agenda 21, which is part of a un programme.
This is absolutely unbelievable. I cant get my head around it;-)

PeacePeriodRemarkablyForecast
I found great joy in returning to the many warm brothers at Brooklyn Bethel. I had come in time to attend the history-making convention in Cleveland, Ohio, September 18-20, 1942. There, Brother N. H. Knorr, the Society’s new president, gave the talk "Peace—Can It Last?" This brought new light on Revelation 17:8. It was revealed that the Allied powers would prevail and that a new international "peace beast" would arise. This did occur when, after the war ended in 1945, the United Nations was organized!
It was not too difficult to make this "remarkable forecast" in Sept. 1942.
Why?: look at wikipedia - history of the United Nations, and see:
"The term "United Nations" (which appears in stanza 35 of Canto III of Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage) was decided by Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill [1] during World War II, to refer to the Allies. Its first formal use was in the 1 January1942Declaration by the United Nations, which committed the Allies to the principles of the Atlantic Charter and pledged them not to seek a separate peace with the Axis powers. Thereafter, the Allies used the term "United Nations Fighting Forces" to refer to their alliance."
