Hey,
I just want to thank everyone for your kudos. I can't express in words how much having access to a forum like this means to me. I am still amazed when I read these posts and see other people that have or are going through the same crap I went through. The education issue is huge for me because I went through the '75 debacle being told everyday that the world was going to end before I finished school, moreover, sucking out of me(and many others) any ambition and drive. For the first time in my life, I am enjoying being normal and I am proud of my accomplishments.
While on the education issue...I recently showed my parents the article from the '69 Awake, which states verbatim that the world would end before children in school would finish....I almost fell over when I got their response which was that an apostate snuck that line into the article...you cant make that stuff up folks!!! So, the newest JW answer for covering their butts is that an apostate is responsible for it. I felt like I was talking to the guy in the subway station who wears the tinfoil on his head and spouts off about conspiracy theories
......how long have the been 'in'?
