Jesus said, “I am coming quickly!”
As a young guy, I should have been required to issue such a warning.

I also wonder if any of you other old codgers and ladies, have old memories and people you had in your life keep invading your daily thoughts.
There is definitely a feeling of nostalgia when I think of old memories with old friends (with whom I have lost all contact). Some are the old girlfriends who came & went before meeting my wife. All were mostly JWs too, so it's not like recalling old sexual romps or such. Just those who came and went. I wonder if they ever imagine how things would be if our relationship had flourished. I don't regret that any of them are "past" relationships. No fantasizing about anyone who "got away".
Sometimes I reflect back on the JWs who were significant in my life - especially those that were instrumental in my commitment and advancement in the religion - though most of them are dead. I wonder if any of them had doubts or were even awakened to TTATT. Likely not. I think a person gets to a certain age, or point in life, that it's "too late" to leave the network one has in the Cult. Or, at least it's too difficult to do a "180" in life and just up and leave everyone and everything. (It's kind of like deciding to divorce after decades being married. The pain would not be worth the gain.)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
2025 means Armageddon is about 50 years late!

HOW TO BE LOYAL TO JEHOVAH
by liam ina post from another exjw site, shows how throughout the years, in a regular, systematic fashion, the watchtower has influence thoroughly; an ideological point of view, in the minds of it’s members by using bible scriptures and examples, to get the members to do the unthinkable, even if it clashes with modern ethics.
february 2016 watchtower, paragraph 3 of the article titled .
"learn from jehovah’s loyal servants".

We must be ready to obey, even if it doesn’t make sense.
That's pretty much what the priests of Israel said in the days of Elisha. Read 1 Kings chap 18.
Today's WT false prophets should take heed.
(I really don't believe any of that crap anymore, but it's good ammo for those who still do.)

Reddit thread - ‘Organization Finally Suggesting to Plan for Retirement’
by LongHairGal inthis information is supposed to be in the upcoming march wt.
(i don’t go on jw dot org).
it would sound like they are hinting at a change in thinking.. in my opinion, any such change would be yet another slap in the face to faithful pimis along with those other recent changes.. there are so many heartfelt responses on that thread and a lot of justified anger.. don’t know what to say except that i’m so glad i never listened to the religion all those years ago.

The article makes it very plain that the END IS STILL VERY CLOSE............([probably in the next year or two, for sure during Trump's presidency...His words not mine)
While that may prove to be true, I certainly doubt that it is "The End™ " as the WT crowd expects it to be.
