2 Tim 3:1 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, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away.

Yes and these conditions are egregious. It is indubitably apparent that those conditions affect the earth world wide. Jehovah's promise of an enduring new world of righteousness will never wither. (Deut. 7:9; Isa. 66:22)
Jehovah's people wait with extreme endurance for Jehovah's new kingdome to take place on earth as it did in heaven. (Matthew 6:9, 10)-"Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth."

Ditto Frozen Veins.
I have to say here that Jehovah's Witnesses want Christendom to fall. We preach it all the time. This must happen for Armageddon to come. To end this ''system of things'' and get Satan and his followers into the abyss so we have Christ rule for those thousand years to learn about Jehovah God without Satan's interference.

that sounds like the christians in my neighbor hood... certainly cant describe an athiest... since they have no godly devotion... yep take a look at the christian leaders... without self control... hypocrites that they are going to hookers, practicing gay sex and even pedophilia... and not admitting it till they are caught with their pants down... all these rich preacher types .... lecturing the public on morallity but being themselves worse behind closed doors.
As time goes on we will truly know that when the bible says that Satan shall call himself god of the earth and deceive many.. we will know that the many shall be called christian.

Yes...common behavior for those who are still "in Adam" and have not come to God for forgiveness and the righteousness we received from God as a GIFT.
Sad aint it???
And the scripture says they will wax worse and worse. This has been VERY evident even in the last five years.

These things have always existed, but anyone with eyes can see that it is all getting worse faster and faster. God will get fed up with it sooner than we think. I hope people stop and consider their eternities before it is too late.
