Hi there, Im Marko. I had two very nice Jehovahs Witnesses at my door last week. They left me a tract to read about the end of times, and the paradise Earth etc. It really triggered off some memories for me as my parents were Jehovahs Witnesses a long time ago. I was around 9 years old at the time, I'm 41 now. They fell away from the religion but my mother continues as a practising Catholic, which she was prior to her 8 years association with the JW's.
So Ive been reading over a few things about JW's beliefs and finding quotes from necessary scriptures from the good book. Can I ask what the JW's think about the Mayan Calendar events that are supposed to be taking place 21/12/12? I understand the scripture regarding the end of the world coming as a thief in the night and no one will ever know when this will happen, but has anyone watched any documentaries on this? Is it dismissed as nonsense within the JW society? I actually think I know the answer to that, and it'll be about faith in the end, but it would be interesting to read some balanced views.
