end times - the worse of the worse

imagine living during ww2 - the threats of the big bomb, fear, great depression just ending and then - peace can it last?

conditions then were so much worse than now - shorter life expectancy, lack of food, communism and other fears!

having asked my relatives who lived through then and now my parents approaching their end, they all said that that time was the worst!

in light of the following scripture:-.

there are six things that jehovah does hate; yes, seven are things detestable to his soul: lofty eyes, a false tongue, and hands that are shedding innocent blood, a heart fabricating hurtful schemes, feet that are in a hurry to run to badness, a false witness that launches forth lies, and anyone sending forth contentions among brothers.

- (proverbs 6:16-19).

Is there anything wrong with "United in Worship" book?
by Albert Einstein in
1. jw
2. experiences
few months ago in my country (eastern europe) a letter was read in congregation, that the "united in worship of the only true god" (the blue book people studied as a second book after "you can live forever"...) is updated an replaced by another book and all publishers should bring their copies to elders.

the reason presented was that brothers (due to efficiency) want to recykle the books ecologicaly (iam not making this up).

it was literally said, that all books should be taken to the kh and not a single copy should be kept home.. when my mil told us that (we were not going to meetings at that time already with my wife) i told her, that as far as i know brothers do not have any recykling facility and if they do and want to be ecological, they should ask for all updatet publications, not just for this book.
