Now old Robert here probably means well, but he has about as much chance of interpreting Revelation as he has to flap his arms and fly, so where does he come off telling the JWs they are wrong when he himself doesn't have a clue? Every Christian wants Christianity to be served to them on a plate exactly as they want it to be, as they believe it to be, as their prejudices demand. Christianity is a deeply Middle Eastern religion filled with the sentiments, meanings, reflections, culture and idiosyncrasies of that place and time. I love how white Anglo men have become its major interpreters. Imagine a G.d, if you will, who inspires prophecy for a people and 2000 years latter strangers in a strange land own this religion, interpret this religion as per their own failed understandings and still we are waiting for something to happen, for a prophecy to wash up on the beach like a dead whale so we can all marvel at it. ababab, give yourself an uppercut and stop listening to old Steve, he don't know shite from clay.

You've nailed it this time waffle. a babab, give yourself an uppercut and stop listening to old Steve, he don't know shite from clay. Poor lad, probably thinks that shite and clay are the same thing because they both stick to his shoes. There seem to be as many interpretations of the Book of Revelation as there are sects with many of the interpreters thinking that God has chosen them especially to interpret the book for him.
