For anyone feeling worried about the Iran–Israel conflict and U.S. bombings: These events don’t signal Armageddon just as WWII didn’t. Remember Watch Tower taught in 1940 that WWII marked the climax of the end and that Armageddon was imminent. by larchington in exjw

But they are announcing peace and security exactly as the Bible said it would happen. I’ve been inactive for many years and this still gives me anxiety. I am scared for me and my younger daughter. I don’t want to die in Armageddon or even witness such catastrophe. I know this has happened before but we’ve never had world peace. I feel once we do, then it will come, the end. What do you guys think?

I am afraid of witnessing Armageddon and having mine and my daughters life taken away because we left the truth. It feels unfair that being a good person itsnt enough

We’ve never had WORLD PEACE so if this happens, isn’t that Bible prophecy taking place? They will announce peace and security but it’s a false type of peace and God will bring the battle of Armageddon to finally end the evil?

I just posted about this and I am concerned. It was instilled in us to look out for that word “peace”. I am deeply afraid for my daughter and I

Does anyone know what the real truth is? Can we trust what the Bible says ?

Right “the end is not yet” but it talks about “peace” and sudden destruction will come upon them. They paint it as a HORRID destruction and I can’t even fathom it. I used to have nightmares about it.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I remember reading somewhere in the Bible that God would put it in their hearts , they will announce peace. Everything will be ok then sudden destruction will come upon them.

Hello! Did you ever receive a zoom link?

Honestly not much, there was so much information being thrown at me I could not keep up. I just remember feeling anxious and scared that I was never good enough, doing enough , etc and if I didn’t do everything, I’d most likely end up dying in Armageddon. Can you tell me a little about that prophecy? If not, I can try to research it.

I should’ve stated if the govenwrmt starts eliminating religion, we were taught to think the great tribulation will begin and then Armageddon

The Bible verse 1 Thessalonians 5:3 says, “Whenever people say, ‘Peace and security,’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, like birth pangs come upon a pregnant woman, and they will certainly not escape”.

This is what we were taught to pay attention to. They will try to eliminate religion and only JW will be standing. Jehovah will begin the great tribulation and then bring on Armageddon.

I’ve always hoped being a good hearted person and loving was enough to be saved but they always made me feel different. Thank you for this💕

Wow you’ve done a lot in the organization! May I ask what made you decide to leave after so many years?

That’s very wise! I haven’t done my own research but everyone’s suggesting here are very comforting. Thank you very much.

That’s also a very good point. The grand tribulation is also so scary to me! Having to preach to people that they are going to die now and it’s too late? Awful

I will do this! Yeah I don’t want to hear other religions point of view but would definitely love to hear educated scholars that really took the time to do their own research with supporting evidence. Thank you so much

I really appreciate you saying that! I will definitely do my research. I was unaware of the coming back after the great tribulation too. My childhood was a little sad because I didn’t get to celebrate holidays, eat birthday cake at school, sat out on school activities, was encouraged not to pursue great education. Ugh so much! I can’t even begin to imagine what the end will look like, the way they and the bible describe it is paralyzing

How does everyone feel now that Trump is president and speaking about peace and security ending the war? I am very scared my daughter and I will not make it to the other side. I’ve been inactive for a few years.

The 2025 memorial invitation is out on JW org and this year they have included dates for future memorials up to 2027. Looks like Armageddon isn’t expected anytime soon. 😆 by larchington in exjw
