GREAT TOPIC RAGS !
I'll throw my comment in here and TRY not to write a book!!!!Just the MENTION of 75 gets me so revved up that my hands start shaking!! I watched my "real" friends all go off to college, you know what I thought about that? "Well at least they'll be happy when they die!" Because I thought that my family KNEW the truth and I resolved my self to the FACT that I, and all the cool people that I knew were going to die....When my life was just beginning and I was finally old enough LEGALLY to get away from that SOCIETY that does NOTHING MORE than EMOTIONALLY CONTROL AND MANIPULATE anyone that cares to follow them, and NOW the world was going to FRICKING END!!!! I thought "it figures, I've had to have this B.S. shoved down my throat since I was 9 and now the world is going to end!!!!My point is that even though I decided that I didn't want to live forever with people and a God that killed mothers of small children (compliments of the lovely illustrations in the "Paradise Lost" book)and ANYONE (Everyone at school) just because they weren't a JEHOVAH'S WITNESS and I thought I'd rather just die at Armageddon, I WAS SO CONDITIONED BY WHAT HAD BEEN PUMPED INTO MY HEAD AT THREE FORCED MEALS PER WEEK that I believed it to be true !!!!!! This is how powerful of a hold this b.s. that this society teaches gets on people!!!! I truly believe that a lot more people would SEE the truth about the WTBS but they don't want to see at this point. They're like a woman that has invested so much of her life on her husband that she could CATCH him in bed with someone (the U.N) and he would manipulate her into believing that it was nothing more than a test to see if she really loves him!!!! Some people are not READY to see because they can't handle knowing that they have lived their life in a lie....Or they're getting old and what's the point of leaving, just in case.....They can't handle seeing the truth that they are NOT going to be young and beautiful FOREVER..........and you know the tragedy of it all.....the effect that 1975 had on so many lives and NOW, even when I mention it to my JW sister, they're like "WHAT,!? the organization NEVER said that the world was going to END, just that, blah, blah, and more blah
