I'm with you on REM's Stand. I can't help but hear that too. They certainly do look like a bunch of evangelicals in this. Is this the only song they do this too i wonder.

Crazy statements from JWTalk
by Jehovah lol ini'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".

There are 3 options and you've already been given all three. 1)Ignore it. 2)write back explaining all the reasons you don't feel you can be part of this false religion. 3)write an appreciate letter back not mentioning anything incriminating.
The only bad choice in number 2 because the mother will take it straight to the elders & that is evidence against you.
I'd say there's a good case for ignoring it if you've only spoken to her twice as its not a letter born of genuine feeling for you. Its a cult response in the sense that anyone leaving the group upsets ones peace of mind. But if you do feel the need, maybe choose a very small thank you card - very small lol, and simply thank them for their thoughts and how much you appreciate it. Don't attempt to explain - its not her business. Maybe quote an appropriate scripture about love or something - that could go down well.
All the best Phoebe

You are assuming this was a prophesy for our time. This is a prophesy for Israel about Israel that never happened.
Check out this video between minutes 18-25.
Then watch this from minute 29 to the end. https://youtu.be/HbKXvF5oQYg
Finally watch this between minutes 17-23. https://youtu.be/0SF96kVO36U
The only part that specifically deals with your verse is the last part but watch them all for context.

I was pleasantly surprised it got the level of coverage it did tbh. It kinda came out of nowhere and wasn't based on any new stuff that i could see, yet it got picked up by a lot of media and echoed through the day. It got onto the 5pm pm programme on radio 4 which has a big drive home audience. I view it as a big fat win.
