well, it's been 50 years since armageddon occurred.. seems to me that things haven't really changed all that much.
is it just me or does anyone else seem to think that things have actually got worse??

Famine was supposed to be one of the signs of the "Time of the End".
Back in 1975, it was estimated that one in three of the world's population was malnourished.
In 2025, that figure is 9.1 %, or less than one in ten. (Despite the world's population having doubled during that time).
I may only be a busted-@$$ electrician, but that does definitely sound to me like a significant improvement!
the hatred against whites is escalating to an unprecedented degree.
in south africa, they are calling for complete genocide of white people.
for some reason they are targeting all the white farmers.. i’m so glad trump noticed.

You will notice that the opening paragraph in that article in African Farming acknowledges this, and reads as follows:
"In 2024, despite poor grain and oilseed harvests, South Africa’s agricultural exports set a new record of $13.7 billion (about R253 billion)."
(Emphasis mine)
And as Earnest noted, that drought they had is now well and truly over. (Either a drought or a flood - sounds a bit like Australia!)

Also SA is having to import food because many of the appropriated farms are left fallow (I've read up to 90%) SA once grew all its own food.
According to South African sources, the country's agricultural exports in 2024 reached a record high.

Earnest, you have a Personal Message.
not even as active as the jws (whom i have not seen for around a year now), nevertheless i get an occasional leaflet or other publication in my letterbox that seems to be seventh day adventist in origin.. the booklet i received the other day was entitled "national sunday law".
i also had received this book years ago when i had some dealings with the sdas.. from reddit: "national sunday law involves a conspiracy theory which alleges that the united states government is on the verge of enacting a national blue law that would make sunday a day of rest and worship.
the theory depends on the idea that the pope is the antichrist and the mark of the beast is worshipped on sunday.
No one can know for certain how long their ‘cult compound’ could be around
When testing of nuclear weapons was carried out on certain pacific islands in the 1950s, it was noted afterwards that the only animal life left consisted of cockroaches, and "rats the size of cats" (to quote an original report).
I rather fear that the JW cult will prove to be the same - i.e. come what may, it will continue to survive. (Evidence of course of "Jehovah's blessing"!)
hour quotas timeline.
back in the old days long before 1952.
“after staying in our ‘home’ for two days we decided that if we were going to meet our quota of 140 hours for the month.
Up until about 1972, a JW could not even be deemed a "Regular Publisher" unless they met the minimum quota of 10 hours per month. Added to that, they had to have also conducted at least one bible study, placed at least 12 magazines, and made a certain number of "back calls" during that month - or else! (Particularly if one failed to "place" those 123 magazines, in which case that same said person was liable for the JW equivalent of "No.1 Field Punishment").
For those interested, WC Stevenson's 1967 work The inside story of Jehovahs Witnesses gives a full description of the complete matter of "hours", as it then stood. Certainly, when I first began attending meetings at the Kingdom Hall (circa 1970), that is all you seemed to hear about.

Ok Trump got some of his facts mixed up
That is, of course, the most effective form of propaganda, the half-truth.

It's a bit of a bloody nuisance the way that facts keep getting in the way of a good story!

I have only ever once seen members of the Seventh Day Adventist church actually engaged in a door-knocking activity. This was over 40 years ago, and - specifically - they were soliciting funds for their "missionary works".
As an aside, there is at least one country in which the SDA has a significant presence, and that is Papua New Guinea. This is a country which is proud to describe itself as being "Christian"(rather hard to believe at times, but there you go!) Most of its population of just over 10 million people is divided about evenly between the Catholic, Anglican, United, Lutheran and Seventh Day Adventist churches - each with a membership of about 2 million people.
At least in PNG, the Seventh Day Adventists are on an equal footing with the more "mainstream" churches.
there is a lot of exjws who have been out 10-20-30-50 years, but for some reason, when they see a group of jehovah's witnesses, sitting by their carts, drinking coffee, scrolling through phones, laughing, something inside happens.
most can't explain it.
some say it makes their blood boil.
Do you still feel pity for them?
Only the victims!
So much for the old con-job "Just obey, and you will be blessed"
- More like booted hard in the guts, then kicked to the kerb.
