Does anyone here remember the infamous Cabbage Patch doll stampede when someone got trampled to death in a store, and ensuing jw response? Oh how I remember them going on about it being a sign Armageddon is coming because people are going crazy.
When I was a Jw in the 60's an 70's everything that was on the news was a sign that armegeddon was comming. It drove me to the brink of insanity. I spend very little time today watching the news or reading the news, probably as my own personal therapy as a recovering jw.
