Basically they say that nothing good is going to come out of this "system of things" (aka, before armageddon) so they might as well not try to see the things that they could (does that makes sense?)

For those that were thinking of getting married or having children in this "system of things", many said over the years that it would be best to wait until Armageddon is over......Today, I hear most JW's say," I probably won't see the Great Tribulation come in my lifetime. I'll have to wait for my ressurection in the "new system of things". A number of persons decided against going to college to further themselves in "this system of things" and decided to get a theocratic education now. After 1925, I'll bet a lot of people were saying, "I guess we won't see Abraham, Issac or Jacob in this system of things until after San Diego is destroyed".

minimus --- I thought you said you were a jw elder? It would seem you would know what they mean be system of things . jesus refered to the current world of man made government as this system of things . To answer the thread question they are probly talking about the arival of the messianic kingdom where the world is directly governed by jesus.

Of course I know what is in the publications regarding "system of things". But I find it so weird when I reflect upon that expression. Even if you say to a normal (worldly) person,"Well, what do you expect in this system of things?", what could the person actually think that you are talking about? Only JW's use this expression. It is strange.

minimus---- Religionists always say strange things . Most people in religion even, are not interested in the coming conclusion of this system as jesus mentioned . It is completely scriptural to expect the world as we know it to end at the hands of the messianic kingdom. I wouldn't expect a jw to say that to a non jw tho .
