Systematic and intellectual deconstruction of (false) religion

The End of False Religion is Near!

(Revelation 17:16-17) . . .And the ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire. For God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought, even to carry out [their] one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God will have been accomplished. . .

TAGANROG, Russia—On March 1, 2010, law enforcement officers closed down and sealed the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the city of Taganrog, Rostov Region.

Confiscation of the building was one of the prosecutor’s demands in the judicial proceedings on the liquidation of the Taganrog Local Religious Organization of Jehovah's Witnesses. The building was built in 2006 by local Jehovah’s Witnesses, who financed its construction and use with their own voluntary contributions. Since then it has served as a center for Bible study and religious services, which were free and open to the public.

Matthew 24:3-14

". . .While he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”

And in answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many. you are going to hear of wars and reports of wars; see that you are not terrified. For these things must take place, but the end is not yet.

“For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress.

“Then people will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. Then, also, many will be stumbled and will betray one another and will hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and mislead many; and because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off. But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:3-14, NWT)
