but I did.
and now...look at my grandchildren. The youngest started kindergarten this year. The best part, is he had no fear. He wasn't worried about what the worldly kids at school that were going to try and trick him into taking drugs or saluting the flag. He doesn't know about Armageddon. He is just excited to learn and meet new friends.
That's right, I'm bragin'

A lot of us were told things that never happened... that were outright lies. They're still lying to people too. It messes you up inside. For me, I have trust issues. It is difficult to 'buy in' to things; to believe in things; and to trust people.
He is just excited to learn and meet new friends.
Awesome! Lisa, they're beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks for sharing Lisa, great looking grandkids!!!
How cute!
Maybe you can give Hikaru a heads up on what you were told as a young person, she needs to hear from those of you who lived it and now have beautiful grandchildren like you!
I was told that college wasn't important at all and that I shouldn't go...so I didn't do well in high school cuz I thought 'Whats the point?'. And then my parents were disappointed in me. Ohhhh, the neverending cycle of guilt.
Hey but guess what....I got my act together and now I own my own business (and no, its not window washing or janatorial work! ...not that there's anything wrong with that ...) And its a SUCCESS! The recession hasn't affected my biz at all
Lisa, you have every right to brag. Your grandchildren are beautiful!!
I was told the same thing... Armageddon would come long before I could graduate. I'll be attending my 40th High School Reunion in October! I have 4 grandchildren now.

Awesome! I'd be bragging too if I were you. I wish I had experienced a normal childhood.
I was speaking with my mom recently about Memorial attendance and the 1935 date (nothing openly apostate because she doesn't know yet), but she mentioned that exact thing - that she was told she wouldn't graduate high school. Now she has 4 grown children and 3 grand children. But, of course, she still believes the end will be here any moment...
I remember it well.
Unfortunately, most of the ones who said I would never graduate from High School are dead.
Rub a Dub
You should be happy with for your grand children. I was told the same thing in the mid 80's...remember it was the era of the famous generation...
I left school few weeks before my graduation to become pioneer since the end was sooo close.....
Now I'm in my early 40's, my hair start to turn white, a family broken due to WT...I just hate them
Good for you! I think the same thing when I look at my nieces and nephews. It makes me so happy to think of them living full lives away from the WT's lies.
