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?

The good news is that if the JWs are true believers then their violent deaths made them martyrs and added to the total that need to be killed before Jesus returns.  OTOH, if they aren't true believers then their violent deaths had no meaning and they were simply killed for being a big pain in the ass.  In any case the number killed was insufficent to reach the magic number to get Jesus to show up.  Someone has to kill more believers.  It's biblical. (Revelation 6:9-11).  Gotta reach that magic number sooner or later.
