I would have to agree with you on this one. Fear of climate change sells.
The watchtower should look at trying to recruit climate change fanatics. They would be a good fit in the religion.

15Missed opportunity of Jehovah’s Witnesses
by Abraham1 injesus had foretold that people of "last days" would “faint out of fear” because of things such as “sea-level rise’ as part of “signs of last days” in luke 21:25. bible translators—including new world translation of jehovah’s witnesses—missed the real meaning as they translated it as “roaring of the sea and its agitation.” (https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/nwt/books/luke/21/).
more careful translations such as niv put it: “roaring and tossing of the sea.” (https://biblehub.com/luke/21-25.htm) word for “tossing” is σάλου (salou), from saino; i.e., billow,” (swell outwards).
thus underlying thought is like balloon swelling, or water flowing outwards, as though ready to roll over, thus points to the modern terminology “sea-level rise.” biblos interlinear translation (int:) translates it as “of [the] sea and rolling surge.” “rolling sea.” (a greek lexicon to the new testament, edward robinson (d.d., page 416) (a greek lexicon to the new testament on the basis of dr. robinson ... by c. robson).. jesus’ original use of the wording “tossing of the sea” is another way of saying “sea-level would rise” as a result of pollution of air.

JW's were born and built through primitive religions dynamics
by Victor inrussel and his followers were a byproduct of the religious orthodoxy revolt that originated in europe.
this revolution of ideas crossed over to america seeding all the fringe groups who russel then became a part of.
this resistance to the establishment is similar to what we have seen recently with the q annon phenomena.

Thanks for your comments Victor. Social class is the elephant in the room for many people and some don’t even understand how it all works. There is a reason they don’t teach this stuff in high school. There would be total societal chaos.
This is a vital part of life where ignorance isn’t bliss. People squander their entire lives trying to be someone in organizations be it work, clubs or religion and only serve to enrich their masters.

Are You Concerned About Inflation?
by Simon ini saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.
that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?
they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

The Watchtower—Study Edition | January 2022
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe watchtower—study edition | january 2022. during the great tribulation, gog of magog’s forces may try to assault us in our homes.
but we can take comfort in knowing that jesus and his angels are aware of what is happening and will defend us (see paragraph 13).
13. when gog of magog attacks, why will we appear to be vulnerable, but what reason for confidence will we have?

The middle class spend too much time and money being middle class. It costs money and takes time to maintain social status. That’s why they are going nowhere financially.
It is much like being a Jehovah’s Witness in good standing. You have to do all the right things(aux pioneer, be elder, go to international conventions) to keep your status. This keeps them tired and broke.
Every society needs slaves and that’s what the little people are. It’s rigged up to use our human nature against us to keep us on the treadmill all the while thinking we are free and somehow better than the next guy who lives in a little bit smaller house than we do.

The system is set up to keep people poor. The system needs the working class poor. If every last member of the poor caste figured out that instead of squandering their money on Nike shoes they should buy Nike stock the share price would suffer as there would not be as many shoe sales.
Poor people are easier to control. Keep them so busy on the work treadmill and throw them the odd crumb of government handouts and entertainment that they are just too tired to think about how badly they are treated.Link +2 / -0 -
