I think the message here is, drink your beer and have a good 4th of July weekend. Jojo, go buy a bag of fireworks and have some fun! I know I'll be lighting off some of them mortars from the Indian reservation right in front of the PO's house. Maybe I'll get lucky and set his damn house on fire. Wouldn't that be a hoot!

How about the fact they have been wrong about everything so far like 607 / 1914 /1918 / 1925 / 1975 & drum roll 2006!

She basically told me in a nutshell that the brothers were preparing them at this past convention for armageddon and that everyone was exchanging numbers because ''the brothers have news that armageddon is here and they're getting everyone ready''
tee hee, have they also got news that one of the mobile networks will be left on c/o Jehovah God so that they can all text each other after Armageddon and check out who made it?
Kitty, your naughty mummy is pulling hard on the heart strings because she knows if she appeals to logic you will laugh her out of the building.

They are again really working up the naive masses with the same old armageddon fears aren't they? They gave so many false alarms before so why should anyone believe them this time? They have said the same thing umpteen times.
And why should we believe the WTS is the right place to be if supposedly armageddon did come? They have a record that is far less than honest. -

Make yourself a cup of tea, take a deep breath and repeat after me...
THEY ARE CRAZY..THEY ARE CRAZY..THEY ARE CRAZY..
and forget the lot of them. They have been pulling this sh*t for years. Nothing new.
Any "true" religion that has to resort to this type of strong arm scare tactics should be avoided like fresh dog doo.

"everyone was exchanging numbers"
Still trying to understand that one. Does Armageddon have a special ring tone or something? Maybe they go to the borg's website to download it just in case?

I have had no less then 6 relatives go to that convention so far this year, and none have come back with the behavior or message your mom is saying. All have just come back with another, "It was encouraging, and we enjoyed ourselves" response. In the time I was in, which was growing up and then part of my twenties, I remember several conventions in which the message was "the end is now" or "these are the last days." As an example of how seriously the attending Witnesses take every little part to mean something, even when it does not, this is something I experienced. At the Cow Palace in 1994 I was at a DC and the man at the end of the convention said something along these lines, "If Jehovah permits us enough time to make it until then, next years convention will cover ... " I came home from the convention thinking nothing of that. A week later I was in field service and this woman was in the car, and just started crying. We asked her what was wrong, and she had taken this message to mean the Governing Body felt the end could come by the following summer and her unbelieving husband would not accept the truth. I thought, isolated incident! Yet it was not, over a course of about six months I had this same point brought up many times and with all seriousness the people thought this was a subtle hint to the people attending, that next summer would not be in this system of things.
Why am I bringing this up? Basically, just like I came home from that convention with no thought along the lines of "the end will be any minute" and others came home with the thought that it was happening any moment. You see that example today, this summer, too. Your mother is the only example I have seen of such serious and absolute behavior about what was said and as we all know, Witnesses us this kind of message to scare their people into subjecting. So with this in mind, your mother is hoping you are ignorant to what was said at the convention, and hoping to use that ignorance to get you to think something was said that was not. What she might not realize is that there are several online sources, including this site, that offer you the ability to see what was really said. I can guarantee with what I have heard from relatives, that it was no where near what you are being told. Yet, would she have had this same affect on you if she called and said "The brothers said we are in the last days" and "We should be ready for the end, as if today is the last day." Why? Because we have heard it all before a million times.

Does Armageddon have a special ring tone or something?
Thats a great idea. Surely theres some scripture in Revelations that indicates that in the last days only the righteous will recognise the heavenly ring tone?
