    But isn't that the same deception that was used in early Christianity?

    Yes, the cult of Jesus said no more feeding the poor or widows or orphans or any of that. Just wait on Jesus to return for the 144k

    I had a discussion with my Dad about 5 years ago on this very subject. He was saying Armageddon is coming soon. I asked him how he can know that as Watchtower has been saying this for years. He replied it was because the economy was so bad. I said to him "Is the economy as bad as it was during the Great Depression?"

    He replied with a tentative "Noooo."

    I said "Wouldn't it seem more likely then that if a bad economy was the reason it will come 'soon', that the end should have come back then?"

    I got the deer-in-the-headlights look.

    I then said "The Watchtower needs to stop saying it's coming soon. They lose credibility when it doesn't. It's like crying wolf. People stop listening to you."
