Watchtower claims Armageddon will come when US is no longer a World Power
by Alfred injust when i thought the wash towel was done trying to interpret the book of revelations, i came across this from paragraph 16 on the last page of the march 15, 2011 watchtower.... .
the urgency of the times we live in is underscored when we consider the inspired prophecy at revelation 17:10. the seventh king, the anglo-american world power, has come into existence.
concerning it we read: when he [the seventh world power] does arrive he must remain a short while.

1990-1999: mentioned 492 times.
2000-2009: mentioned 222 times.

Watchtower: Telling truth is only an entitlement, not a requirement.
by FatFreek 2005 inwhile i didn't listen to the recent audio interview (see this thread), a certain watchtower official denied that disfellowshipped people are shunned by their relatives.
i was understandably irked at that bald-faced lie since for the last 33 years i've been shunned by two of my children.
then i thought -- hey, that official simply reverted to his watchtower teaching.. that jwn thread may not show up.
