Hey Relax -- Armageddon > 10 yrs away
by Gopher inthose of you who are/were jw's, do you remember how the beginning sign of the great tribulation was the declaration of "peace and security" right before the sudden destruction of the nations?
the jw's applied 1 thessalonians 5 to their own impending salvation from this evil world.. so with bated breath, jw's have been watching for this sign -- this declaration, to come from somewhere, anywhere!!
could it be the united nations, or perhaps the world's superpowers??

Will JW's Emulate Catholics?
by Kenneson innews article in today's paper is entitled "credit catholics for cleaning house" by stanley crouch (new york daily news).
"somehow in our nation we are almost always called upon to lead the way when it comes to things of human concern.. "that is why, after all these years of the catholic church's hiding behind cathedral doors, miters and robes, we should be glad that boston's cardinal bernard law has ignored the dictates of rome and called on his clergy to report to the police all the charges of sexual abuse of children by priests..............."

For those who grew up a JW . . .

haven't you figured the scam out?!".

Revelation 19:1:- Christians or Angels?
by stevieb1 inhi, i've been researching the society's explanation of the 144,000 and the great crowd in some consderable depth and i've reached the conclusion that both groups are one and the same, hence i digress from the watchtower's "two class" theology.
many sites dealing with witnessing to jw's often cite revelation 19:1 as proof that the "great crowd" is in heaven.
this verse reads: .
