I remember when they would close the summer convention with, "If armageddon hasn't come before next year, arrangements are being made for a 4 day convention..."
There was always the expectation that it would come in the next few months or year, at the most. And I remember some COs that would similarly close their visit with something like, "Armageddon may come before my next scheduled visit, so you all stay strong and I'll be back to see you on the other side..."
Now the CO is saying it could be 15 years? So the longer time goes on, the further away armeggon is getting? Their JW cultcarts need to get redesigned as senior citizen walkers.
