are we living in the prophetic last days that will climax into armageddon?

if this is true then how long should it take?

as jw saw it, wt compared timing to within a generation using 70 ad as a parallel.

Lasty -Daniel explained the end of WW2 and the end of Germany, the king of the north.
It's all down to interpretation. Not necessarily correct interpretation, either.
I admire your zeal. As I say, you can get 100 top theologians to talk about this Daniel stuff and they could all disagree on what you said. (Personally, I think it's not to be taken too literally).
… why don’t you ask them.
Who is 'them'? I don't follow you. Can you clarify?
What I wrote WILL happen, and sooner than you think.
Er....when?
Not being funny, mate; but you sound a bit too 'over enthusiastic'.

What does this even mean?
by Blotty in
1. watchtower
2. bible
"the son is born of the father by generation, but generation should not be understood in the everyday sense.

the son is derived from the father through pure spiritual generation, through the unlimited sharing of his essence.

so, the birth of the son is an intellectual activity of god.".

In case I missed something; where is the quote from? Who actually wrote it? Were they smoking weed or eating shrooms at the time?

Jan from Tam - Punky l once quoted the death and taxes thing to someone who replied , seriously
" Oh not really , I've ordered some that didn't turn up "
Not denigrating LMStanding here, but I have noticed many times that some Americans don't see further than America. Some think America is the only country there is. I wonder if those on Baffin Island or in Stoke Poges think it's all about their location?

I suppose the 'last days' is more of a Christian Biblical belief. I can't recall what other faiths think. TBH, I'm not that bothered.
I notice that each generation has been feeling they are in 'the last days'.
What is certain is that we'll die (and there is great debate around what happens then)....oh, that and taxes.
There are some Christian faiths that believe there will be a Rapture, so possibly not die. Not all Christians believe that as such, though.
Get 100 theologians and they won't all agree on subjects.
Time will tell. It'd just be my luck that I won't get Raptured, I'd just get a rupture.

"My book of bible stories" is child abuse!!
by Witness 007 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i once gave this book to a woman with kids at the door...to my shock my next visit she gave it back saying it was discusting and full of violence and sex!

this book was clearly written by some bethel loser with no kids.

i don't understand why witnesses don't have a separate kids school..

Since when has the Watchtower Corporation(tm) prevented abusing children in any form?

gorb - picture with the beautiful model swimming in a lake
We had a sister(tm) in our congregation that looked like that.
I see they stole the picture from a German magazine. Can't recall which one.

What the Elders Book Actually says about Suicide and Judicial Hearings for Disfellowshipping
by EasyPrompt in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
"the shepherd the flock of god elders’ manual had instruction to take notes, sign and file them in judicial cases where the accused threatens suicide.

this instruction was removed in 2020. pic 1 is 2019 version, pic 2 is from a 2020 edition.

it remains the same in 2023.

EasyP - they won't change the shunning until the organization is gone. They don't care if a person is suicidal or not suicidal. They care about money and power and protecting their image.
I have to agree with you.
If they could get more money for the Governing Body(tm)(Pee be upon them), to live their gluttonous, sex offender protecting life by ending 'shunning', they might change it. Until the money dries up, they will shun whomsoever they want to irrespective of vulnerability because they are utter filth of the lowest order.
It's just a big corporation pretending to be a religion to con money and assets from victims.

If the Alien cannot give money to the Watchtower Corporation(tm), then the Alien is of no use to them.
Unless the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses(tm) are interested in Alien child nastiness..........because I suspect the way the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses(tm) protect nonces, they may well be nonces themselves.
(Not sure if Americans use the term 'nonce').
