  Newspaper article: 'Rise of ISIS and earthquakes are WARNINGS before ARMAGEDDON destroys Earth'

  the "end" of mankind, which has been long predicted by jehovah's witnesses, could happen as soon as this year - according to latest announcement from the christian religion.. in the latest edition of jehovah's witnesses monthly publication watchtower, an article translated into 700 languages - urges people to join the religion or face certain death when god sends his forces from the heavens to "remove all world leaders," "exterminate his enemies" and "rid the world of satan".. critics have lambasted the warning of a coming armageddon as yet another "failed prediction" by the religion, which has previously delivered similar alerts such as a foretold apocalypse in 1975.. indeed, jehovah's witnesses have been warning people of the need to recognise jehovah or face certain death when the "end" comes for more than 100 years.. the christian-based religion was founded in the 1870s by charles taze russell in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, us, as an offshoot from the bible studies movement.. today, there are 8.2million jehovah's witness evangelists, while 19.9 million celebrated their annual memorial festival marking christ's death - worldwide in 2014.. followers do not believe in military service and will not accept blood transfusions.. in a new eight-page article, watchtower said jehovah's witness leaders are now "convinced" humans are in their "final days" before the armageddon.. they cite an increase in global armed conflict, such as the rise of the islamic state terror group, as well as natural disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes.. the lengthy article, written by an unnamed author, said: "will god let humans continue to dominate one another and threaten the future of mankind?

  no, as we have seen, he will step in and bring an end to centuries of misery and oppression.

  If you found out TTATT at 80 and spent your entire life at Bethel, what would you do?

  ^^^@John Aquila: That is one of the saddest things I have ever read.

  If she doesn't die suddenly of a stroke, but has a lingering death, I wonder if she will wonder, where did SHE go wrong. NOT where did the GB screw up, or the Bible go wrong. (Unfortunately she doesn't realize the writing committee along with the GB just pull ideas out of their a$$"s) lol

  Poor dear old soul. (It would not be respectful to call her a fool. I really feel for her. I drank the kool aid too).

  ----->If I was at Beth-hell, that is one tough call. I honestly don't know, but I would realize my days were numbered. If I had always wanted freedom, along with a husband, children, a home etc, the shock might kill me.

  For me personally, I would want to know. It would answer so many questions on why the GB doesn't make any sense but make singing rolly cart commercials and stupid kids cartoons. I gave up all of life's pleasures so the GB could go on JW-TV and make fools of themselves and my "the end is coming" "preach the Word, or you are blood guilty" religion?

  I would need someone to hold my hand through this. It would be brutal with stripping off the blind fold.

  Babylon the Great has fallen!" God's Kingdom rules! (1963)

  Sept 1963: I received my "Babylon the Great Has Fallen, God's Kingdom Rules" book at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena too. We studied this Bible study aid (lol and or barf, take your pick!) at our book study group the following year. LoisLane had fallen in love like wise with a worldly boy from school. He was studying and also came to Tuesday and Sunday meetings with me. I knew he didn't believe and was there just for my sake so I had to give him up. His life was so much the better for it because he went on to have a happy and successful career flying military helicopters during Viet Nam, was on a wrestling team, and married a girl who truly loved him with no hidden religious agenda with flip flopping man made up doctrines that are in one year and out the next.

  What happened to the "Babylon the Great" book that was studied so intently and never made any sense to anyone? Trashed and you are considered an apostate or trouble maker if you even refer to it.

  @cappytan ---> Thanks for the laughs! lol

  Five (5) minutes was all I could give of my life to hear that greedy religious SOB with the weird voice and weirder lips.

  If I had to listen anymore, please shoot me, bury me, dig me up, and shoot me again! lol Just to make sure I am really dead and do not have to listen to 'ol rubber lips' ever, ever again. lol

  These TV shows are made for very low IQ's. Not very nice JW.org!

  Do NOT go to college, system is coming to an end, EVEN in 1969!!!!!

  by Jez in

  if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that.

  you will never grow old in this present system of things... .all evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... as a young person you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

  if you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career.

  @Gayle, Good for you for waking up to have a normal life! Waking up is shocking, but the rewards are priceless! A husband, 5 educated children most probably a pension and a planned retirement for you all! That is fabulous after being a hard working free drone at Bethell. You are to be truly admired as a wonderful success story after leaving WT behind!

  The GB all have their planned retirement. They own ALL the KHall's and Assembly Halls around the world. They have servants taking care of their every need. They don't care 2 cents about anyone else.

  Singing literature carts? Masturbation videos? Having your picture taken with Caleb and Sophia stand up dolls? barf -barf - barf These guys ARE idiots! lol

  @Back to the OP. I do not know anyone of my 'era' who went to College. In 1969 I was a regular pioneer buying that magazine at the literature counter for 3 cents each and 'placing' it (cold calling and selling it) for 5 cents each. All my normal friends from high school went on to have successful lives after furthering their careers. Many of the girls became school teachers or nurses. They married mutually compatible mates. Not someone just because they were of the same religion!

  @Farkel: Farkel is dead now, but I wonder whatever happened to his presiding overseer, telling an educated school teacher that "The World IS Ending!" lol lol lol Fifty (50) years ago! lol

  Have a great day everyone!

  The camera caught her at a bad moment just before she sneezed. lol

  Or maybe she just woke up and was yawning. lol

  Or, maybe she picked up someone else's book, opened it up and was shocked to see a picture of a nikked man! lol The old lady next to her had seen plenty of that nikked man stuff in her life and apparently, was not too impressed. "Seen one, seen them all". lol The lady on our right looks like she's thinking, "Umm those ladies ought to be paying attention and not be looking at what they are a lookin at". lol

  PS Can't say that I have ever seen this picture because I haven't. Thanks for sharing.

  Recently, I checked on an old friend and wondered if his dear Dad was still alive. So I checked past obituaries and yes, he had died, in fact only this past Dec. He was 103. There were photos of him at his 100th birthday party, in his wheel chair, with his much younger Phillipina wife dancing in front of him. In the photos he and everyone else, looked very happy.

  This fellow, "Ernie" lost his wife when she was 'just' 91 after 70 years of marriage.

  Good for him for finding another love. After his wife died, he sold the family home for 1.5 million US and moved into a smaller home that was easier for him to get around in.

  PS They were not baptized JW's. Some in the family did 'study' many decades ago.

  Part of the USA's Violent Past

  Thank you Fulltimestudent for sharing some American history I was not aware of. I googled it and read some and will read more later.

  The mines were owned by Rockefeller Jr. Controlled by him while living in New York City. That area of mines he owned in Colorado had the highest rate of accidents and death from poorly shorned up (is that the right word?) mining structures. The miners were paid for the tonnage they produced, not how they dug it out. (Tunnelling was on their time/dime.) Meaning during those early years Rockefellar did not pay the workers for 'making' the tunnels to get the coal, they were paid for delivering the coal.

  At the end of the video he sang he 'hung'... I was so afraid he was going to say he hung himself, but he said, hung his head in shame.
