Listened to it...
Yup...he's got a creepy voice...but then anyone who's trying to use fear to stir people into action usually doesn't sound normal.
Listening to it caused a minor flashback to the District Convention days when a Bethel heavy or even a GB member would give the rousing final talk on Sunday. That same condescending tone is there just like the old days, "I'm going to put down my notes...and I want you to listen..." "...some of the friends were asking what this meant. Well, I'm going to tell you...".
Everyone used to get all fired up after those talks but I would be about half pissed off. I felt like I was being treated like a child. LIke he had to talk down to us so that we would understand. Maybe it was just me, but I hated that. And this talk reminded me of that. Except this time, it didn't bother me. I guess because I know he's full of shit, I can just discount his manner, his voice, his message even and ignore it as so much bullshit. I think, back in the day, when I was feeling the anger, it might have been my inner conscience trying to tell me something was wrong.
The part about Matthew 24:14 having been fulfilled is interesting. I would have thought the WTS to be very careful about predictions and making blanket statements like this one after so many failures and with the power of the Internet that can spread information faster than they can. We know about these things before most dubs do.
