Humor in 12-1-99 WT

Hi all,

Does this paragraph from the latest WT strike you as funny as it did me?

Contrary to the accusations against them, Jehovah's Witnesses are not an "apocalyptic sect" or "doomsday cult." They do, however, accept the Apocalypse, or book of Revelation, as part of the inspired word of God. True, Revelation does contain judgement messages against the wicked. But in their public witnessing, God's servants focus mainly on the wonderful hope set out in the Bible, including that in the Apocalypse, or Revelation. Thus, they do not add to or take anything aways from the prophetic words found therein--Revelation 22:18,19

And just to make sure the JW's get it--there is a question at the bottom of the page that says:

1. While Jehovah's Witnesses believe in the inspiration of the book Apocalypse, why are they not an "apocalyptic sect"?

Anyways, I can't imagine after billions of gloom and doom magazines the JW's say they aren't apocalyptic.

Donna :)
