UN turns on false religion

  I heard from a sister in Vienna that at the summer Convention there is going to be an announcement about the fact that the UN are setting up something to do with combatting religious fundamentalism in the wake of the terrorist attacks in America. It seems they are going to suggest that this indicates the fulfilling of prophesy and that this shows that the end is near. I don't know if it is true, but that is what I heard.

  Beaten, corrupted, dying
  In his own blood lying
  Yet heaves up an eye above
  Cries, Love, love.
  It is his virtue needs explaining,
  Not his failing.

  It's possible, I guess.

  My personal opinion is that 'new light' will come up and 'update' their understanding on those verses.

  The beast turning on the harlot will, instead, represent any action a government agency takes against wordly religion - for example, the charges being levelled against pedophiles in many major religions.

  Urban legend. The WTS has played up "big" announcements a couple of times in recent years. Turned out to be total nothings - one announced a new TMS textbook, which has yet to be seen, and that was it. The other was people who'd been Witnesses for so many decades were going to get the "privilege" of driving mucho hours to attend an incredibly boring annual meeting tie-in at assembly halls, or some such "event."

  A REAL big announcment they would be playing to the hilt. They need all the positive excitement they can generate.

  Hey Xander,

  "The best turning on the harlot will, instead, represent any action a government agency takes against wordly religion - for example, the charges being levelled against pedophiles in many major religions."

  my sentiments exactly.
