They're just fulfilling prophecy, dear WS (peace to you!). And we really shouldn't be surprised... or expect it to end as long as they exist... since they really are nothing more than a publishing company (masquerading as a religion). As the wise Congregator wrote:
"Remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come
and the years approach when you will say,
“I find no pleasure in them”—
before the sun and the light
and the moon and the stars grow dark,
and the clouds return after the rain;
when the keepers of the house tremble,
and the strong men stoop,
when the grinders cease because they are few,
and those looking through the windows grow dim;
when the doors to the street are closed
and the sound of grinding fades;
when people rise up at the sound of birds,
but all their songs grow faint;
when people are afraid of heights
and of dangers in the streets;
when the almond tree blossoms
and the grasshopper drags itself along
and desire no longer is stirred.
Then people go to their eternal home
and mourners go about the streets.
"Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
and the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
and the wheel broken at the well,
and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher.
“Everything is meaningless!”
Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs. The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.
The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one Shepherd. [b]Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them.
Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
"Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil." Ecclesiastes 12:1-14
They make THEIR books so as to lead people AWAY from the MOST HOLY One of Israel, JAH of Armies, and toward THEMSELVES. Unlike the Teacher (Matthew 23:8; John 13:13:13
And so, what, they've run out of useful (i.e., so as to mislead) topics. BUT... they are a publishing company and so need to publish "something" - hey, why not break the bible into many books and start publishing it that way? So long as folks donate for such (and they will, won't they, out of guilt if nothing else)?
Really, what else should a publishing conglomerate be doing other than the "making many books," dear one? Telling folks the TRUTH? Surely, you jest.
Nothing they do... or say... is truly "marvelous." Nothing. It's all striving after the wind. Hopefully, the dear ones in Japan will continue to see this and more will GET OUT OF HER.
Again, peace to you!
YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
