I was about start a thread on this exact topic and thought I'd better check first to see if it has been covered.(It has) :).
I was thinking if they ever pull the trigger on this, there is no going back, although a lot of JW's would preach this for decades if they were required to do so.
The comments by Stephen Lett concerning 'the last of the last of the last days' havent aged well, considering he was trying to capitialise on the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, however, in the meantime, things have pretty much returned to normal.
If there was a particularly tense moment in world history and they declared a message of doom, how long will it be before even the most hardcore JW's see through it once things return to normal?
This threat is kind of like an ace up the sleeve of the GB.

“This GOOD NEWS of the kingdom” is not a message of doom. Just like Noah entered the Ark, they took no note.

It's a message of doom for 99.89% of the human family. Tell me Fish man, when you are going from door to door do you and you buddies discuss which homes you would like to move into one these wicked people are destroyed by our loving god?? I hope that one day you snap out of it and wake up.

Never. The angels direct to which homes people might respond. The work is done after prayer. The desire is to somehow help people and give them hope for something better and to draw them to God. The greatest joy is to help people even in the least. Like hoping your son will listen to you instead of being in danger. That is what it’s about. Who wants to deliver a message of doom to someone you want to help?

Disillusioned JW
Fisherman, please elaborate your concept of the angels directing you to the homes of people who might respond. Do you perceive yourself as getting a mental impression from angels to go to specific homes, instead of all of the ones that were allotted to you in field service (such as those on side of the street) pertaining to the territory card ?

Correction: In my prior post, by "... those on side of the street ..." I meant "... those on one side of the street ...".

No. The point is trust in divine backing. Which JW teach and also angelic direction. In reply to personal sneering and desire of the houses of others.
