    Q.1. Was it going to be fire and brimestone like Soddam and Gommorah ?

    Q.2. Or were buildings going to collapse and all of the people in the buildings and on the ground below be destroyed ?

    Q. 3. Or were angels suddendly going to materalize with big broad swords (right out of King Arthur's army) and smite us......those of us who didn't have the mark. (or have the mark whatever)

    So how is god and his son to discriminate between the good and bad ?

    A. 1. So fire and brimstone...... is jesus directively guiding the sulpher and fire so it dosen't hit JWs ?

    I guess he'll avoid kingdom halls and of course large stadiums, just in case there is an assembly going on, with paid parking. Forbid you are at home sick. Better get your sorry ass out of bed and get to the KH because that is the only place you are safe. Hell maybe they should attach apartments to the KH, and put up a chain link fence around the whole compond.

    A. 2. The buidings colloapsing.

    Do JWs not go into highrises? Do they not walk on the streets? Do the buildings in Brooklyn have special protection? Are god and his son aware of what buildings WTBTS owns and what buildings are up for sale???? Ohhh that could be a big mistake.. Better check with the Real Estate Agent first !

    A .3 Yeah. The angels with those big swords from the Crusades. Funny how they were never depicted with curved Arabian Swords, or the fencing swords. And how many angels is it going to take to kill 6 billion humans. Are they actually going to come down with wings, and dispatch us one by one. How long is that going to take?

    Don't you think even if you are a perfect angel, you would be really sick after you had killed your 12, 000 humans, including the pregnant mother and the father clutching his daughter to his chest.

    xjw_b12 I can't believe I followed this tripe......

    Happy Birthday !!

    I can't believe I bought into it either.

    I had a look at those pictures from the WTS literature of destruction at Armaggedon posted at the quotes.watchtower.ca website this morning. I've seen most of them before, but never really looked at just how horrid those pictures are for a supposed god of love. Fear tactics?

    *** kj chap. 19 pp. 366-367 Defeat Awaits Attack by Nations under Gog ***

    At that point the battlefield of Har?Magedon is reached. The "war of the great day of God the Almighty" is on! (Revelation 16:14, 16; 19:11-16, 20, 21) As weapons of warfare Jehovah wields the forces of creation, flooding cloudbursts of rain, hailstones of undeclared size, downpours of streaking fire and sulphur?all of which will release more destructive energy than all the atomic and nuclear energy that the nations hold in reserve in the oversupply of bombs that they have stockpiled for World War III. All their scientific devices for germ warfare and chemical warfare will be surpassed by the raging pestilence with which he can plague them, a pestilence that could kill off 185,000 in a single night in a given locality. (2 Kings 19:35, 36) The blood of Jehovah?s Christian witnesses they are anxious to spill, but it will be their own blood that they will drink by the violent loss of their own lives.

    w62 3/15 p. 167 A Lesson in Man?s Littleness ***

    Jehovah propounds more questions: "Where, now, is the way to where light resides? As for darkness, where, now, is its place, that you should take it to its boundary and that you should understand the roadways to its house? Have you come to know because at that time you were being born, and because in number your days are many? Have you entered into the storehouses of the snow, or do you see even the storehouses of the hail, which I have kept back for the time of distress, for the day of fight and war?"?Job 38:19-23.

    Has any man ever escorted either light or darkness back to its home or entered into the storehouses of snow and hail that God has kept back for "the time of distress"? Snow itself is a marvel?crystals in an endless variety of beautiful forms! With snow and hail God can fight as effectually, if he pleases, as with lightning or with the sword of an angel. Snow and hail will evidently be used against God?s enemies on "the day of fight and war," the time of Armageddon. What man can escape hail from heaven if God directs it? "Hailstones" are mentioned at Ezekiel 38:22 in reference to the means God will use to destroy the wicked hordes of humans under satanic leadership. At the battle of Gibeon in ancient times Jehovah used hailstones against his enemies: "There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword." (Josh. 10:11)

    Do JWs believe they will be attacked at the end or just physical Israel? Is their any concept of having to fight in any way shape or form to defend spiritual Israel?

    Forbid you are at home sick. Better get your sorry ass out of bed and get to the KH because that is the only place you are safe.

    I heard this line of reasoning over and over again.... just because you are sick doesn't mean you should stay home.... besides what happened if the big A started while you were at home in bed...you might be lacking Jah's protection. They would always related instances whereby all the local homes / churches etc were destroyed yet the KH still stood. Fear mongering at it's worst.

    I always imagined the angels carried claymores. Im just sad now that Joe isnt man enough to come kick my arse himself. What a coward to use hailstones and pestilence. Now sword against sword... that'd be a fair fight, if Joe wants to do it mano a mano, Ok im for dat. Man i like swords, they're coo.
