Ends of times prophecy that I can't shake

I'm glad it gets under your skin to see Christians trying to help those former ones if we can, means we are doing something correct.

I would never join a religion like baptist. If I did believe in the god of the bible I know he would not approve of people adopting pagan religious customs into their religion. I know that he wouldn't support his people getting involved in political affairs of mankind. I know that Jesus is not god, but his son. I am still proud of JW's in a lot of areas, even if no one on this forum gives them any credit.

And for every one else that dogs religions as being equally as bad

JW's called out religions as a snare over a 100 years ago before it was cool

JW's have been persecuted and killed by Nazis and other political parties for their strict neutrality stance

JW's stay neutral in all political affairs, which means that they aren't trying to push their religious policies into your life through legislation

Of course they aren't perfect and there is the bullshit.

But I am not trying to get out of my indoctrination by just having people tell me that all religion is bullshit so you're an idiot if you believe one word of the bible. Even the atheist bible, the skeptics annotated bible, has a section for "good stuff."

So my op is simply on the fact that the statues feet simply describes a political world that we live in. I find it interesting that a guy 2500 years ago predicted a government that was ruled by the common people.

Before I give up on this thread, does anyone have any point or comment concerning that?

So, your OP strongly implied ("As I have been transitioning to atheism") that you were leaning toward atheism but hung up on a "prophecy" in Daniel.  You don't believe that Jesus is god.  Neither do I.  But you clearly place a lot of value on the book, and you love your little prophecy. So my prophecy for you is: you have no leanings toward atheism and will remain a JW.  Good for you.  But don't come here pretending to be conflicted over your indoctrination, in order to try to sell us on a ridiculous ancient fantasy that has no relevance to anyone in today's world.
