    Song and prayer. People talked, not about the lesson or about the comments, or about ANYTHING serious, but instead talked of the Colts and the Saints and Bears and the Patriots-- the important things.

    So true. The article was not the topic of discussion at the K.H. I was at. People talked about DA BEARS or
    just stuff in general. While many JW rank & file are faithful to the teachings, they don't truly live as if the
    moment has arrived. You can only sit on the edge of your seat for so long, before you give up and get comfy.

    Why does Zephaniah's scripture sound so much like Yoda from Star Wars? Perhaps Yoda is the Greater Zephaniah. Except Yoda would probably say, "Near the great day of Jehovah is, hurrying of it very much there will be."

    LOL! That makes for a funny mental picture. You could have Yoda giving the study, and JarJar reading the Watchtower.

    Seriously though, that was an interesting read. I see some things haven't changed at all over the years. The end is always just around the corner, too bad they're running in a circle. ;)

    Great review once again blondie . We should just give you the pulitzer prize already. One minute they talk about returning to jerusalem the next they need to draw parallels to how the early christians fled the city in 70 CE when the Romans attacked. Once again they misapply the FDS scripture to imply only opposers to the org. qualify . They are the only ones that even claimed it applied to them , I've never heard anybody ever say they were the FDS outside the organization , so how can you be the FDS gone bad if you were never the FDS to begin with? and what's with the quoting of Barklay ? isn't he apostate and not to be trusted anyway ? since nobody can understand the bible without the WTBTS book pulblishing corporation , just how exactly is he a source to quote?

    - What is "the great day of Jehovah"?

    ----The shared hallucination of millions of fundie christians that what Jesus said to his followers in the first century is guaranteed to apply to OUR times.

    - Why do many ignore the urgency of the times?

    ----Too easy; reference "The boy who cried Wolf!"

    - Why did Christians in the first century need to act with a sense of urgency?

    ----Their life really WAS in danger, as opposed to imagined or manufactured "persecution" of the WT

    - How can we heighten our sense of urgency?

    ----By continuing to attend meetings and conventions, where the fear and venom that is dispensed will keep you in a constant state of dread.

    GREAT job Blondie; travel safely
