My brother who has recently started attending meetings again sent me an audio clip of a guy
named Rayford saying that the governing body had announced that that Matthew 24:14 has
been fulfilled. He went on to say that there are only 3 countries with no witnesses, North Korea,
Somalia and Afghanistan. He stated that people in these countries would be judged according to
the "country standard", that is, that if these people were unfortunate enough to be born in
these countries, they would be judged accordingly.
This brings up the question. If the preaching word is over, is it over? I mean, no more witnessing
anywhere?
Clearly there are billions of people who have never heard of Jehovah's Witnesses, much less been exposed
in depth to their teachings to a point of being able to make a decision as to whether they accept or reject
the message. Indeed, even in the U.S., there are likely a small fewer percentage of people today, than
in the 1960s who have had connection with the witnesses, due to witnesses outdated ministering efforts.
Of course, the announcement was accompanied by the announcement that governments would soon
turn on false religion and that yes, you guessed it, the end is near.
