Incredible as it may seem the February 1. 2000, issue of the Watchtower actually yet again quote the old prune, the talk from Cedar Point in 1922, “Advertise, advertise, advertise”. Of course not one word about what they were actually advertising back then. The whole article is about “Jehovah not being late”, based on Habakkuk 2: 3:
For [the] vision is yet for the appointed time, and it keeps panting on to the end, and it will not tell a lie. Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it; for it will without fail come true. It will not be late.
These articles get lamer and more far fetched every day as they jump and skip around in the Bible to spin together their wild fantasies. On page 15 it is claimed that, like Habakkuk Jehovah's servants today “know” that “Jehovah will not be late”. Do you know any Jehovah's Witness who “know” this? If there is one thing anyone half familiar with the Bible and the Watchtower Society should have learned by now it that they don’t KNOW anything.
According to the Bible the apostles was expecting this much advertised end to come in their lifetime. According to the book of Revelation, it was to occur SOON. In case someone have missed it we are now well into a year with the number 2000 on it, and what was supposed to happen SOON have yet to materialize. The Watchtower Society has been ranting on about the imminence of the same thing for over 100 years without much to show for them but a lot of failure, and yet the Watchtower claim that they KNOW it “will not be late”. Dear oh dear, talk about meaningless drivel.
On page 23 under one of the hilariously idiotic Watchtower illustrations § 17 assures the reader for the umpteenth time that they can be SURE that Habakkuk’s words will SOON be fulfilled! Yeah right. Just as sure as in: 1874, 1914, 1918, 1919, 1920, 1925, 1975 etc.
When will these idiots learn?
