I know that we currently believe and teach that Jehovah has a set date, however it that is clarified one day and there is reason to believe and teach that there isn't a predetermined date, it would be very easy for me to accept that. 

 

If there were such an adjustment  .   .   .  we should roll with it  .   .    .   but, I think many would be stumbled.  It would feel as if we really don't know anything.

 

Maybe it's not that Jehovah has picked the year, month and day.  Maybe it's that Jehovah has already decided "when mankind reaches this point of debauchery".  That would align with his move against Nimrod and the Tower of Babel.  He acted when the situation called for action. Another way the FDS has explained the timing is "this system will not go on for one day longer than justice requires", and "Patience must yield to justice", etc. That leans toward the Nimrod example. 

In any case, Mt 24:34 will be fulfilled.

That's what I'm thinking. We have all of the signs that we are in the last days so whether Jehovah has a predetermined date or not really doesn't affect us, it will happen right in time, whatever determines that time is.

Smaller version but still over 1800 pages.

 

In each case look for the pdf, hover "pdf" to download.

 

I'm sure there are other bibles there as well. Use the search bar or scroll to the bottom to see others in the same category. Extremely useful site. Our old books are there as well. https://archive.org/download/watchtowerbooks

The earth is using what it can to rebel against mans determination to ruin it.

Jelly fish population soars, plugging sea water intakes of nuclear plants. But it all has a dual edge, plastics in the water and warmer water cause swarms of jelly fish. And warm water cant be used to 'cool' the reactors because the released water would be super hot causing catastrophic damage to sea life. Reactors have been shutting down in many places making it unbearable in 104f weather! Just where does all this stop? How much longer Jehovah?

The earth is definitely in peril. The weather patterns are so far off and every single decision greedy men and corporations make just plunge it further into disaster after disaster. These data centers going in all over the world are the last nail in the coffin I think.  They will cause untold damage to the water and atmosphere and sink innocent people who depend on these resources further into despair.  It's no wonder the Bible tells us that "men will become faint out of fear".  The news media is geared to make people afraid of absolutely everything - everything we eat, every kind of medicine we take, every phone call or message we get, every place we go, - every decision we make is a wrong one.  The stress of life is getting too great and people are going nuts because they can't handle it. Seems like life is nothing but mass murders, natural disasters, fear of another world war and general craziness.  And this all BEFORE the GT happens!  Life after the GT starts is something we all must spiritually and mentally prepare for now  - I have a feeling what we are experiencing now will feel like a cakewalk compared to after the GT starts.

That’s what I’m thinking. We don’t even know what hard is I’m sure.

Yea Life is getting harder these days  I couldn't imagine the GT. Oil reserves is depleting now because of war.

Yes the scence of this world is getting worsen everytime as it is closer to the GT. But remember what Jesus said "...for these things must take place, but the end is not yet." (Mat 24:6) We need to endure all of this things in the last days until GT. Eduring this means our lives. fruitage of Jehovah's holy spirit helps us to make until the new world.
