"start getting ready we're not going to be around much longer!" And we expect the angels to release the four winds any day now!" My first thought was why are you building a corporate country club then?! These guys really are delusional or whats really happening is they see things unraveling and they are trying to scare everybody back in submission.

You have an excellent grasp of the whole situation.
My main line of reasoning nowdays on why this cult is not the truth is the unreasonableness of their recent new light doctrine changes.
It make no sense to go all those years preaching "this generation" will not pass away before the end, and that "all the anointed" are the F&DS, then just a few years before the end change the JW beliefs to "over-lapping generation" and "only the GB" is the F&DS. How can that be truth? Pick a truth and stick to it please!
It's all bullshit, they know it, they are scared that it is coming apart, and thus they will allow statements like this to scare JW's back into submission. You will never see this bullshit in print. Just CO's by word of mouth, saying how close the GB thinks the end is.
An intelligent Creator who commits all the OT atrocities, then demands that modern-day humans must believe everchanging Watchtower bullshit, live a JW lifestyle, and turn in a time report each month to the Watchtower in order to survive Armaggedon is utterly ridiculous.
