Good post Jambon!
I was just thinking about how my mother (a life long JW) views the world. Everything that she sees on the news elicits the same response from her...this is proof that the "end of the system" is near. She is incredibly negative, and actually revels in every little disaster or world events. If the stock market drops, she sees it as a collapse of the system; if the volcano spews ash and closes airports, it is proof the end is near; every earthquake is irrefutable evidence that time is short...you get the idea. JW's love pain and suffering...it validates their existence.
Negativity is the mantra of the average JW!
