    BlueBlades;

    Since according to Jesus no one knows the day or the hour, how does the Society know that it is in ones lfe time or how is it that they use the words you mention. They have no meaning since they they would only make sense idf some timeframe was known. It is deceptive to tell some one soon and then disappoint them by having them die waiting. hat do you think?

    Actually, I just visited the governing body while they slept. I got the scoop right from their brain. "Everything is very soon and just around the corner and the second door on the left. However, to get the truth of what's behind the door you must re read the watchtower ten times. Now answer all the questions. You must use a yellow hi-liter, not those pansy pink ones. Also comment with only references from other publications or with the answers we already supplied you with in the magazine. We are brilliant! Our questions, and then our answers, from your lips. Ha! what a way to re-iterate our complete understanding of nothing! Now cross reference the date found on page 27 of the 1978 bound volume of the watchtower. No not your copy, the one locked in the headquarters in Brooklyn. O.k now it's all clear. Just follow the yellow brick road... oh forget it. Just give me your donation and look in this newest issue it explains eveything so clearly. You will see it's just around the corn... um I said that... I mean just outside the door. Yeah that's it."

    Looming on the horizon is a battle that will take place "in the final part of the years." According to Ezekiel?s prophecy, Gog, a symbol of "the ruler of this world," Satan the Devil, will mobilize an international attack force. He will direct his troops to invade the figurative "mountains of Israel," that is, the elevated spiritual estate of the Christian "Israel of God.

    Commenting on one gathering at a large stadium, the London Sunday Telegraph reported: "There is none of the gloom traditionally associated with those who declare that ?The End Is Nigh.? Nigh it may be. In the meantime everyone seems to be enjoying himself in a sober, upright, Godly but cheerful manner."

    What a tragedy that would be, seeing that we are so close to the finish line!

    For some, fleshly desires crowd out spiritual goals even now, close to our entry into the new system.

    Our survival of that fast-approaching great tribulation depends upon our recognizing that today is primarily a time to weep.

    *** w01 10/1 p. 31 Questions From Readers ***

    Realizing that the fulfillment of God?s promise to bring about a paradise earth under his righteous Kingdom is near at hand, we too should rest from our own works and do our utmost to enter into that rest

    *** w97 8/15 p. 15 Living for Today or for an Eternal Future? ***

    Most of those professing to be of the anointed are quite elderly. Again, would this not indicate that the end is close at hand?
