"Armageddon is Weeks Away" Phrase...Is WT pushing this phrase more recently?
by mentallyfree31 ini'm wondering if this phrase is perhaps being pushed recently in letters to the elders or circuit overseers.
i have heard it a time or two here in the last few days on the forum - specifically from a bethelite.. also, the last conversation i had with my presiding overseer about 5 weeks ago, he used this exaxt phrase: "i believe armageddon is only weeks away".. i know its been right around the corner for 130 years, but it seems this exact phrase seems to be floating around a lot lately.. what are your thoughts?
jw's usually don't think for themselves - they just repeat what those above them say.

So close, they're saying it every meeting?
by CrimsonAshes inwas listening to the meeting on the phone tonight, and the second half, after the song, one of the announcements said about the gt.. at first i thought they said "great tribulation one day away," but then i listened to the rest, and realized it was "great tribulation is one more day near.
" either way....they're saying it at every meeting now?
and the reason it was an announcement was because they were announcing baptisms.

Do yourself a favor - don't browse in sysadmin mode - Mkay?
by gubberningbody ini'm going to give a little advice here on safe browsing.
(i'm assuming you're a windows user).
1. the default login you should use should not have sysadmin privileges.. you need to create a user with minimal rights and absolutely no rights to install software.. you never, never, ever browse with an account which has sysadmin privileges.. if you do this one thing, you will wipe out 99.9% of your problems.. 2. switch your browser to firefox and add the plugin noscript.

Legal action against the Pope?
by behemot inrichard dawkins planning to have pope benedict arrested over 'crimes against humanity'richard dawkins, the atheist campaigner and evolutionist, is planning to have pope benedict xvi arrested when he comes to britain later this year for "crimes against humanity".dawkins and christopher hitchens, the atheist author, are seeking advice from human rights lawyers as to what legal action can be taken against the pope over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the catholic church.. it emerged this weekend that in 1985 when he was in charge of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith, which deals with sex abuse cases, the pope signed a letter arguing that the good of the universal church should be considered against the defrocking of an american priest who committed sex offences against two boys.. dawkin and hitchens believe he should face criminal proceedings because his "first instinct" was to protect the church rather than the children in its care.. they are hoping to exploit the same legal principle used to arrest augusto pinochet, the late chilean dictator, on a spanish warrant when he visited britain in 1998.. the pope will be visit london, glasgow and coventry, during his time in the uk between september 16 and 19.. this is a man whose first instinct when his priests are caught with their pants down is to cover up the scandal and damn the young victims to silence," dawkins, who wrote the god delusion, said.. this man is not above or outside the law.
the institutionalised concealment of child rape is a crime under any law and demands not private ceremonies of repentance or church-funded payoffs, but justice and punishment," hitchens, author of god is not great, said.. their lawyers, barrister geoffrey robertson and mark stephens, a solicitor, believe they can ask the crown prosecution service and that pope benedict will not be able to claim diplomatic immunity since he is not the head of a state recognised by the united nations.. there is every possibility of legal action against the pope occurring, said stephens.
geoffrey and i have both come to the view that the vatican is not actually a state in international law.
