Sorry, but there is supposed to be "darkness" surrounding the Messiah's Second Coming. Matthew 24 prophesied it.

But Luke 17:20 says: "But on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them and said: "The kingdom of God is not coming with striking observableness..."

Now reflect on that and these two things:

1) Jesus is to arrive first as a "thief", which means secretly.

2) The woman who bears the child, the kingdom, fless into the "wilderness", "out of the sight of the dragon" which means she too is operating in total secrecy. At least immediately after the kingdom is set up.

Put that together. That means when the Messiah does arrive it will not be in a public manner at first. By the time the world becomes aware the Messiah has arrived, he will have been around a while and done his "inspection" and gathered his anointed ones basically.

So unless you were one of the "eagle" organizational members, you would not have seen the arrival of the Son of man.

Check your Bible closely.

As far as H20 announcement, the internet is like a public newspaper. So posting at a newsgroup is simply making a public announcement. Since H20 is a JW-based discussion group, this was the appropriate place for a public announcement. So this simply TECHNICALLY fulfilled the prophecy.

As the Bible also indicates, the details of the kingdom would spread like leaven. That is, it would start very small but then eventually spread to the whole lump. So even though the majority of the anointed are not lurkers at H20, the details would be understood by the "wise virgins" and it would eventually spread to the entire body. The announcement thus was primarily for THEM, and not the world. The world would not understand.

Cheers,
