I went to the Australian Zone Visit this weekend. But I'm on some pain killers at the moment and didn't feel well enough to take notes. Higher education was criticcised again. Proverbs 4:18 was mentioned. The definitions of the "faithful and discreet slave" were discussed. Then I heard something about the great tribulation having already begun????? "Conditions do not need to deteriorate and problems do not have to impact every person on earth, in order for the tribulation to begin. Jehovah can take action any time." My brain is a little fuzzzy so I am not real sure if I heard that propely. I'm hoping that some fellow Aussies on the forum will be able to confirm what was said. Is this the Australian Watchtower Society's response to the Australian Royal Commission?
Well I sure hope it's true...I couldnt I make it as we had a family calamity..but my son didn't say anything...what about any body else....????
Hi Wallflower: It may not be too far off but I doubt very much whether we are in the time of the Great Tribulation as yet. It seems to me that there will be no doubt when that time comes. I think the Great Tribulation may parallel the time when no one can buy or sell without having the mark of the beast. This shows just how blind and asleep they are up there on the pedestal. Frank
I think WT org does not speak about the mark of the beast, because they fear loosing the tax exempt statue. I think that is the main problem we are not getting new light to many end time prophecies about different beasts in the Bible. I could be wrong though.
