  The last days spoken about in the bible is just fictional mythology.

  Tell your JWS friend that if you were to use these signs as the WTS/JWorg does to signify " the last days ", the middle ages had more of these specific occurrences including pandemic plagues than whats happening in these modren times.

  Of course you would have to somewhat educated in human history to know that but JWS basically are not .
  

  The WTS has been prodigiously artful in exploiting people's fears and ignorance, one might say that's their bread and butter. It is to no surprise that they would exploit this new public virus problem.

  Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment, often evoking in them cognitive dissonance and other changes such as low self-esteem.

  It classic gaslighting by a narcissistic organisation

  I might reply, "What are you going to tell me when this virus runs its course and the end hasn't come?"

  Or perhaps, "What are you talking about? The end came in 1975 just as Brother Fred Franz told us it would."

  If there is no need to reply immediately, send your reply on April 9, 2021. The reply could be as simple as, "You were saying...?"

  Make sure to include the original note in your reply.

  I hope I live at least 5 more years, so I can point back to Stephen Lett and laugh at his last of last day talk. Of course I thought "this generation" would be their downfall too. Never saw overlapping coming.

  Well if one day equals 1000 years, we might still have 100 years to go.

  I would text back.

  Yes, I think we are living in the last days! In fact I think we are living in the last days of the last days, the very end of the last days the final few seconds of the final part of the very lasts days.....as in this is it!

  However if I'm wrong about this and I have been many times.....I will deny we ever had this conversation.

  I love 1234's answer!

  If you want to give a serious reply, you might say, "That list probably describes all of human history. Maybe the point was simply to remind us to look forward to something better, not to get us speculating about dates. So far, everyone's predictions of the end have been wrong, including those of the Watchtower."
