Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone else knew 9/11 was going to happen before it did? My mother, when leaving the org. back in the early 90's began researching the bible (not the NWT because it was too flawed), she used the KJV and the NIV, she also used strongs and a bible that had both greek and hebrew in it right along side the english. She spent 16 hours a day for 2 years pouring over every scripture. Sometimes I would get 10 or 20 calls a day from her with the info that she'd found.
We as a family would sit down and discuss all of the differences between the WTS's views and what she had found and we were so amazed by what she had found. I was so amazed at her stick-to-itness that kept her going, even when sometimes her health almost failed her from fatigue. Can you imagine going over the bible with a fine toothed comb and relearning 45 years worth of bad info in 2 years?
Anyway, my point is. One of the first things she found and we pondered these scriptures for years. We knew something about towers was going to happen, but we thought that it was the obvious choice, the "watchtower" that was going to fall, but it just never did. Yes, it got weaker and weaker, but as you can see, it is still there. So, we naturally assumed it has got to be something else. Then one day, my mom called and said, I have a feeling it has something to do with the twin towers in NYC, but we didn't know what it meant.
Then on September 11, 2001, my mother was woken by a voice out of a deep sleep (believe what you will here, I don't know if many of you believe that "the anointed" as they were called back in the WT are able to converse with God, but my mom has for years, and I have defended her every step of the way. I will never EVER tell anyone or believe that any person who felt they were "called" wasn't anointed and didn't have a direct line to God. You'd have to live with someone who was to really have a firm belief as I do about this).
Anyway, I digress... My mother was woken up by a voice that told her "The towers are falling, get up!" My mother was in her room alone (she and my dad live together, but they don't share a room, long story). She bolted out of bed and turned on the news and saw that the first plane had already hit the first tower. She called me, I was asleep as well. I saw the 2nd tower get hit. I was all alone and I began to panic, as I usually do when stuff like this happens. for 2 weeks, I never turned the TV off, I watched in horror as thousands of lives were lost that day. We knew it was going to happen, but when it did, it just was so horrible. No one can ever prepare themselves for something so dreadful.
Okay, now, Here are the scriptures that were a forewarning of that horrible event. These are the scriptures we thought were telling us of the WTS's demise, but it wasn't. On a side note to all of this. I believe it's a sign that we are trying to heal from all of this terribleness, why do I say this? I have a 5 month old who was born on September 11, 2004. On this day when so many were mourning their losses, I was in the hospital giving birth to new life. At 10:08 am my sweet little boy Ethan was born at 4 lbs 10 oz and 16 1/2 inches long. He was healthy but small and he is doing just fine. Take what you will, but I think everything is done for a reason... okay, on to the scriptures.:
Isa 30:25 And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Isa 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah bindeth up the hurt of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Isa 30:27 Behold, the name of Jehovah cometh from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire;
Isa 30:28 and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reacheth even unto the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causeth to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
Isa 30:29 Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come unto the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
Isa 30:30 And Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones.
Isa 30:31 For through the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be dismayed; with his rod will he smite him.
Isa 30:32 And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with the sound of tabrets and harps; and in battles with the brandishing of his arm will he fight with them.
Isa 30:33 For a Topeth is prepare prepared of old: yea, for the king it is made ready; he hath made it deep and large; the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone doth kindle it. What has been happening after this is what has been happening in Iraq. You can find this info in the bible too, You want to look for "the king of the north (we believe it's Bush) and "the King of the south (we believe it's Saddam Hussein). Here is part of it in Daniel. Let me know if you get a tingling sensation when you read it too! ;)
.AshDan 11:11 And the king of the south shall be moved with anger, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, and the multitude shall be given into his hand
Dan 11:12 And the multitude shall be lifted up, and his heart shall be exalted; and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail.

Dan 11:24 In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance: yea, he shall devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.
Dan 11:25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall war in battle with an exceeding great and mighty army; but he shall not stand; for they shall devise devices against him.
Dan 11:26 Yea, they that eat of his dainties shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow; and many shall fall down slain.
Dan 11:27 And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper; for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
Dan 11:28 Then shall he return into his land with great substance; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do his pleasure, and return to his own land.
Dan 11:29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come into the south; but it shall not be in the latter time as it was in the former.
