When i broke free, i knew all the teachings were nonsense. About a year after I left, a huge thunderstorm broke free and my car was hit with enormous hailstones. My thought, in a nanosecond was "Armageddon has begun".
I've never been more pissed at myself than in that moment. brainwashing goes very deep, it takes time to get rid of it. Analyse your fear and don't run away from it. It will go away eventually.

I'm not in fear, nor do I believe in any BIG A, now or in the future. It's more Watchtower fear mongering

I don't fear armageddon because I fear God.
I must say Grissom, your love just shines through in your comments.

Any "worship" that is based on fear is worthless. W
Who still fears the big 'A'?
No fear of it here. Why would anyone fear something that isn't going to happen anyway?
Just addressing your fears, because I have no problem dropping the entire
nonsense.
The big "A" was supposed to come in 1914, then they were slightly off and
it would arrive in 1915. Clearly those dates came and went. Since then,
WTS has had a 100% history of being wrong with predictions.
If they are 100% wrong, and they say Armageddon is around the corner,
then it isn't so.
Also, keep in mind that most mind-control cults like to keep everyone on
edge by predicting imminent doom by Armageddon, nuclear holocaust,
spaceship arrival, God's wrath in some way, or disaster. It's a way to keep
believers in fear and anxious. Don't take anything they say as serious.
Well thanks for your answers everyone. Its good to see a lot of you do not fear the big 'A' at all thus proving your complete liberation from the Watchtower.
I kinda envy yers a bit
And 'Clam' yes it was a brilliant result against Chelsea and i was there!! Yes i managed to get a ticket for that one.

The only right way to look at it is that jesus is the saviour not a book publishing corporation . I think armageddon has been being fought for awhile now , you either joined in the kingdom army and turned your life over to jesus or you are on the side of evil . It's actually a spiritual war that eventually God steps in and wipes out all governments that oppose his will and are destroying the earth .
