The GB and uber JW's are soooo paranoid they see poison pen letters in alphabet pasta shapes!!!!
Skybj, you are right. History does repeat itself and so does fashion. Facism seems to be rising in Europe etc... etc.....
And as Faithful Witness also said, the JDubs aren't supposed to "trust" the media.
BS, BS and more BS, courtesy of the 8 window washers.
Oh yes! This will not just be whispered about in conversations, it will be hinted at in every Public Talk/WT Study that allows for it to be inserted (with a question, ie, we can't really say.............time will tell).
More reason for everyone to "keep one foot in the door" just in case........this is the Big One.

Follow my thread and my insight...

6 months from now, when all this brouhaha is a distant memory, and no one even remembers what or where "Crimea" is, JWs will still be salivating over the idea that "Russia must be the king of the north!"
Yes. Any significant world event, or change in its political culture is a JW's wet dream. It feeds their delusion that the end is near, and their lives spent waiting for it haven't been in vain.
And of course the GB will exploit that by distorting whatever scripture they can come up with to make it look like prophecy is somehow being fulfilled. It's a never ending cycle.
Yes......just like we were taught to do when we were in, current JW's will use Russia in the Crimea and any other world event that they can to perpetuate the delusion that the Watchtower Governing Body is God's Channel. Those fools have no credibility at all in my book. They abandoned Russia as the King of the North when world events were not lining up with their Soviet Union King of the North prophet beliefs. They made other speculations about other nations (China, North Korea, maybe a Muslim brotherhood of nations), and now for them to flip-flop back to Russia would be right in-line with their track record.
The R&F will get all stirred up.
The GB sure won't mind that (good for business, after all), but these days, they don't dare try to put any kind of specific prophetic spin on current geopolitics; it runs too high a risk of embarassing them when it turns out to be wrong.
Which is a real catch-22, when you think about it; historically, apocalyptic millennialist groups have to periodically set dates for the End and/or interpret current geopolitics within the context of their eschatology (state of Isreal, for example), but the WTS can't get away with that anymore; they've done it (unsuccessfully) so often in recent history, the tactic is long past it's sell-by date.
They'd lose too much credibility, even with the R&F.
