Christmas before Armaggedon arrives

    Does anyone else remember(years ago) the WTS claiming that as time went on and people became less and less Godless, that in the years right before Armaggedon was to strike, people would forego the celebrating of Christmas?

    I remember this being taught when I was a young-un. I don't know if it was ever in print or not, but I definately remember it being said at book studies and KH meetings.

    Somebody tell me I'm not dreaming this.

    I dont remember that at all.

    It must have been before the baby boomers started to have families and started to go back to church.

    the trend you know...you have kids, hit the middle thirties or early forties and decide you need a religion and congregation to go to.

    Hell...it hit me hahahah

    I don't remember ever hearing such a thing. Back in the late 60's and early 70's, we were taught that the "waters of the Euphrates" (support for the Babylonish churches) would "dry up" in the sense that the influence of "false religion" in society would diminish as the end approached. We were given to believe that this was already happening then (though organized religion made a resurgence after that). But religion would not fade away altogether, otherwise there would be nothing left for the "scarlet colored wild beast" to destroy in the Tribulation.
