Has anyone here seen anything like this? I was shown a hard copy of an email from a purported JW businessman who claimed he had contact with some UN officials as part of his 'business'. In conversation, he claimed that he blurted out and asked them when they were going to clamp down on religion as foretold in JW prophecy. According to the account, the UN official acted startled, and asked 'How do you know?'. The JW proceeds with his witness about Revelation, and the UN guy then confirmed that something like that was in the works at the UN. It sounded contrived and manipulated, almost as if the UN official could see where he was going as a JW and decided to have fun with him. I could see it, but this hapless buffoon couldn't.
That part of the prophecy always rang the wrong bells for me. I knew that JWs went on and on about false religion and 'Chistendom', but it always sounded like they had an axe to grind against the Roman Catholic Church amongst other mainstream Christian sects. With Europe and the West in general becoming ever more secular in outlook, with the obvious JW glee that church attendance was dropping, it made a lot of sense to a JW that was still in. But looking at the larger picture and that there are now somewhere around a billion Muslims (who would also fall under the umbrella of 'false religion' as anything alien to Brooklyn), I see no such move by the UN. In fact, there is now such a huge Islamic bloc in the UN that would make any such resolution dead on arrival, not to mention the inevitable violent backlash wherever there's a Muslim population.
Is the UN clamping down on false religion yet another JW prophecy that is on its way out?
