This is a little different from most of your post, but I swear it's true.
One of my childhood pleasures- Imagining how great it would be if we went to the meeting and the Brother on the stage said: "We have a very important announcement to make; the Society has just announced that they were completely wrong about several key biblical issues, the first is that Armageddon is figurative, the second is that to be a good Christian need not entail going from door to door, and all good Christians just need to love one another to be in God's grace."
I literally fantasized about this happening, and carried much guilt for it.
