  dear misguided people,.

  here we are in the midst of 2013, only one year from the 100th anniversary of 1914. since i have many family members who are still jehovah's witnesses, and who still believe that the end of the world is coming any minute now, i thought i would post a little list of events, a timetable if you will, of some end-time prophesies and how long ago they were.. around 2,600 years ago zephaniah promised: "near is the great day of the lord, near and coming very quickly; listen, the day of the lord!

  around 1,980 years ago jesus promised,"...this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.

  here we are at the close of 2010. since i have many family members who are still jehovah's witnesses, and who still believe that the end of the world is coming any minute now, i thought i would post a little list of events, a timetable if you will, of some end-time prophesies and how long ago they were.. .

  around 1,980 years ago jesus promised,"...this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.

  also around the same time jesus said," truly i say to you that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the son of man coming in his kingdom.
