i'm glad you had a good time-ours is coming up this weekend. we have 5 from our hall getting baptized. andrew went to the attendants meeting and they said the FBI gave the society a note saying tha...
i always felt that if armageddon comes i want to be at a meeting or out in service.
i always felt like WHEN armageddon comes (notice, not IF) i want to be in the tunnels at bethel. i don't know why that would make me feel more safe, though.
so are you implying that the 1st century christians feared man when they left Jerusalem because they knew the Romans were coming back?
good point dean!
no...they were responding to a specific command from jesus...today, i don't see the gb watching world events and leaving brooklyn in a mass exodus. i don't think it's reasonable that they would, nor would they tell every nyc cong to leave too. i just don't think they concern themselves with self-preservation...just the ministry
no one said self preservation, but it a preservation of operation in this country. their continued operation IS part of their ministry. If you've ever read the yearbooks there are many experiences of operations being moved around and hidden and stuff in times of war or persecution. Maybe all those in the lead would not actually move, but it's not inconceivable that they would move operations if they felt that was in danger of being disrupted. I doubt they would ever tell all the NY congs to leave-no one said that. It would just cause massive panic. Not saying it will happen, but it's not impossible as shown by the way they moved more operations upstate. But whatever they do, I'm sure it will be backed by Jehovah.
good points...ur right
how amazing was that video on Russia
