Proof We Are Living In The Last Days.
ALTER2EGO -to- EVERYONE:
Below is a video of a recent bullying event on a school bus in which 13-year-old schoolboys spent a good 20 minutes humiliating an elderly bus monitor (it will be the first weblink below). Even when she started crying they would not stop. They made fun of her crying by saying she was sweating. All you could hear was the "F" word coming from these kids mouths.
This video is proof positive that we are living in the time of the end of this wicked system of things. The victim was interviewed on the Today Show on 6/21/2012 (the second weblink).
"{1} But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. {2} For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, {3} having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness," (2 Timothy 3:1-3)

Re: Proof We Are Living In The Last Days.
Yeah, and raping and pillaging in the middle ages is why the middle ages ended in fire and brimstone.

Re: Proof We Are Living In The Last Days.
Can I get a timeline, OP? I'm wondering if I should blow my savings on hookers and coke now or do I still have a few years?
Thank God for mass media, otherwise this prophetic event may have gone unnoticed to the masses!

Re: Proof We Are Living In The Last Days.
I would think a Jehovah's Witness would want to steer clear of talking about the end times. Remind me, how did 1914, 1925, and 1975 go?

Re: Proof We Are Living In The Last Days.
Failed JW predictions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch_T...ed_predictions
"According to Joseph Zygmunt, the response to each of the prophetic failures by Watch Tower Society adherents followed a general pattern:
The initial reaction by both rank and file and the movement's leaders was usually a combination of disappointment and puzzlement.
Proselytism declined, but members maintained an attitude of watchful waiting for the predictions to materialise. The doctrinal bases for the prophecies were reexamined and conjectures offered as to why the expected events might have been "delayed"."

Did you fall for the "failed predictions"?
Did every group claiming to be Christian fail at predictions or just the JWs?
Some people think the lower ranking JWs could be very devout while the Watchtower Society Leaders are at fault.

Have to say though, that part of my reaction to that poor woman being harassed was to think maybe a few she-bears and a little gentle mauling wouldn't be out of order in some cases after all.

ALTER2EGO is a brilliant troll, right? This can't be serious.

ALTER2EGO -to- HACK4444:
One would think the woman's tears would have made them show some compassion and back off. It had no effect on them. That says a lot about what's going on inside those kids.
Lack of compassion is what makes people physically batter others or even become killers, while rationalizing in their minds that it was the victim's fault. I'm not saying any of these kids will do either. But the potential is there if they are allowed to continue like this. Power over others by inflicting emotional (or physical pain) is like a drug. After a while, the perpetrator moves onto something that gives him or her a bigger high. He or she becomes more abusive.
For instance, the kids in the video became even more bold and abusive after they saw the woman had been reduced to tears. That was the addiction of power at work right there--the power to inflict emotional pain, in this instance. Right after she started crying, one of them began poking her with his fingers while the rest of them accused her of being a potential child molester.
To show you how proud they were of this, one of the idiots posted it online after recording the entire episode on his cell phone camera. That's how it went public--when others saw it and were outraged by it.

I'd say that there being a lot of outrage shows alot of growth in the society.
Everything we see know a days shows that empathy is increasing.
Just the media only jumps on the evil stuff.
Life is always getting better
