Lol. You know Jehovah's Witnesses prophets of the Governing Body's predictions for Armageddon are even less accurate as a weatherman's predictions about the weather forcast...

This so-called "question" leads to an interesting bible point...
Jesus himself compared those who are overly interested in the weather with those who ignore the plain signs of the times.
(Matthew 16:2-4) [Jesus] said to them [the Pharisees]: “When evening falls you are accustomed to say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is fire-red’; and at morning, ‘It will be wintry, rainy weather today, for the sky is fire-red, but gloomy-looking.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot interpret. A wicked and adulterous generation keeps on seeking for a sign

"While he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”
And in answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads YOU; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. YOU are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that YOU are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.
“For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.
“Then people will deliver YOU up to tribulation and will kill YOU, and YOU will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." -- Matthew 24:3-14

I'm off to sleep too - whatever is witnessed I expect I'll get to hear about it on Yahoo tomorrow - that is if I miss it on the news.

Are you mocking Jehovah and Jesus?
"Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap." Gal 6: 7
"So, then, let us not sleep on as the rest do, but let us stay awake and keep our senses." 1 Thess 5: 6

They'll be "watching" and waiting for a very long long time, those Witnesses. Sooner or later they'll get bored of the whole thing and get a life.

Go back and read up on my answers about Jehovah's Witnesses, and you'll see that I have serious issues with them. Because my extended family are Witnesses. It was no fun being around them. My solution? I don't visit them anymore.
