Has anyone looked into what psychological factors or psychosocial structures, apart from if your parents were jw, persuade people to believe that the world is going to end soon?
There are groups of people apart from jws who also succumbe to this perplexing phenomena, and I wonder what triggers it, and/or if there are any official studies on it.
I reckon it'd make a good thesis.
Maybe it's mainly a city thing?

No one?
Don't tell me y'all still think the world is going to end soon. Bloody hell, people out there can chew ya to bits with ideas like that, and swallow ya for breakfast. Get out of the org!

Some studies have been done. Some books have been written on apocalyptycism. Some are:
when prophecy fails - leon festinger etal
millenial maze - stanley grenz
soothsayers of the second advent - william alnor
