Why

what about atrocity, have there always been atrocity? what about the scale of atrocity? what about war, have their always been wars?

"have their always been wars?"

Have you read any history about 16th, 17th, 18th century Europe ? Are you aware of the history of war in the 20th century? You think "war" has reached some sort of peak right now?

You reckon the "force" of earthquakes is greater now than before?

Please reread the text, destructive force, that is the potential to cause damage, after
all, as cities get bigger and a proportionate number of persons who reside in them,
its only logical that the potential for ensuing loss of life will be greater.

Do you pray and hope that you are totally wrong?

this is exactly me point, before the twentieth century there was never any war which
encompassed the entire globe, this happened after August 1914 resulting in the first
world war, please note the terms, world war, if you can find any war prior to this which
encapsulated 95 percent of earth's inhabitants then do so, otherwise accepts the
empirical data and stop making straw men.

what i pray for is a personal matter between me and God, do you also take confession?

You should have said "potential to cause damage" and not "destructive force": your clumsy word choice rather suggest you are not widely read on the subject. You get your briefing from your organization and rely on those texts?

The article from the watchtower link i provided provides Luke 21:11 as the example.

'“There will be great earthquakes.”

There have always been great earthquakes and there always will be due to the nature of the interior of the planet we live on.

I take that as a "no", as there would be absolutely no conceivable need to be evasive about a "yes".

I was simply answering your question "have their always been wars?"

Your inability to discuss it clearly suggests limited reading on the matter, that's all.

Yes i understand this, but on what basis are you willing to dispute that the potential for
damage is not now greater than its ever been? Also have we recently seen great
earthquakes? Haiti, Japan, only yesterday was there not another tsunami warning
issued for Indonesia? scale 8.5 Well then! I think we can soundly conclude that this
aspect is seeing fulfilment.

No its an indication of your inability to interpret accurately what I am attempting to say
thus, your constant straw man arguments.

Have we or have we not seen an escalation in the destructive potential of wars since
the twentieth century, yes or no?

How many were killed in Indonesia the other day?
