  With all the WT's eschatology and prophetic interpretation, why is there no mention of Islam?

  you'd think that the third major abrahamic religion would be of interest to the witnesses and their fanciful interpretation of just about anything written in the bible, especially with the white-hot relevance islam has in current affairs and the middle east.

  not only that, islam had a huge influence on european history, with conquering armies and direct control over jehovah's supposed holy city of jerusalem.. american christian fundamentalists trip over themselves trying to connect all the dots in scripture so why hasn't the watchtower society?

  laziness?

  II recall correctly, they did write something about Islam in the 'Mankind In Search of God' book.

  biblical scholar's date for rapture: may 21, 2011theologyjanuary 01, 2010|by justin berton, chronicle staff writerformer civil engineer harold camping of oakland, who runs family radio, has studied the bible for almost 70 years.credit: lance iversen / the chronicleharold camping lets out a hearty chuckle when he considers the people who believe the world will end in 2012.. "that date has not one stitch of biblical authority," camping says from the oakland office where he runs family radio, an evangelical station that reaches listeners around the world.

  "it's like a fairy tale.".

  the real date for the end of times, he says, is in 2011.. the mayans and the recent hollywood movie "2012" have put the apocalypse in the popular mind this year, but camping has been at this business for a long time.

  Are they taking bets in Las Vegas on the end of the world? It would be funny if they came up with a slot machine for that, too, in the meantime.

  Did Ronald Weinland predict that 2010 would see the end of the world, or was it supposed to be 2012?

  It's sad to say, but, Yes, it sounds very familiar. The tactics used then still appear to be in use today. Bottom-line is 'how can we exert absolute control over the people.' Contrast Matt 20:25-27. Also, see the article titled 'Unity in New World Living a Reality,' particularly the subtitle "Clergy Provide Class Distinctions" in the 1953 Watchtower, 7/1.
