TOO BAD, TOO SAD- Nah, they really don't believe it. They are just programmed to believe it like " mind controlled robots". If not for the mind control- they would be actual authentic human beings
Do the JW's really and truly believe that the end is near?

Three Things
1. Every passing day draws us nearer to the "end". Global, national, & local events can easily be attributed as 'proof' (just ask Cotton Mather).
2. Like them Bethelites up in NY say.......Expect Armageddon Anyday ....but....Plan like it ain't never gonna happen....
(or the more for those who perfer a bible spin..the good books says to store treasures up in heaven, but it don't say leave the silo empty)
3. Many are losing their sense of 'urgency' according to stats and the Filthy Disgusting Slavedriver agrees.

I don't think they have a clue. I spent about 25 years knowing that we really did not know when the end would come...I was for the largest part alone in that reasoning!

I think if the WTS pulls a dumbshit move and "advises" everyone to sell their homes and send the money to headquarters, or tells them to quit their jobs so that they can pioneer, alot more people will abandon the faith.
Someone finally forwarded that email to me about "complete obedience to the FDS" and "not hesitating when we are given instructions from the GB"... that's the kind of stuff that will hopefully wake up some of the JWs.

they don't do those things because they did it once before (1975 - I was there, I know) and they looked like fools. I remember people who sold their houses and quit their jobs and took their kids out of school to go preaching full time.

My father tells me that it must be VERY SOON now, but I don't see him strutting the street with a sandwich board like the photos of him in the 1940s

Once they hear the new directive that is to be coming from the elder body "Prepare forThe Great Tribulation" I don't know
but I think they will be shaking with fear all over again.
