There has been no single year since that time in which there hasn't been a war or conflict
somewhere on earth
You know, if my recent conversation with bro, he kept bringing up the signs of the end - like so.
Did someone forget to tell the dubs this is the exact same way the world was BEFORE 1914, too?
I mean, when was the last disease that wiped out 2/3 of Europe's population? Before or after 1914?
When was the last time a number of nations fought a war that lasted ONE HUNDRED YEARS?
Spanish inquisition? Before or after 1914? Napoleon conquering Europe? Before or after? Barbaric medical practices of treating battlefield injuries (READ: saws)? Before or after 1914?
Did penicilin, 'modern medicine', antibiotics, and innoculations start benefiting mankind before or after 1914?
Oh, wait, that's right - someone DID forget to tell them....
You know what's funny? If you asked your average JW if they would prefer to live in the 'better' world before 1914, they would instinctively answer 'yes' without thinking about it. I wonder how many would have the gall to actually say that if they DID think about it?
