I grew up believing it was coming any day, "right around the corner". I was terrified.

Now....................Never!

I was the same as Prisca.

I also felt like #2 and #9 at the same time. Yes I really did believe all that crap.

Lets see now I would have to choose #10 because the Mayan calander stops at the year 2012 and because the inside passage of the great Pyramid of Egypt is ......need I go further?

I would have to say #10

I felt yes someday, but a lot of other things had to take place first and there are really a lot of other things.

8 most closely defines my Armageddon viewpoint. I never worried about that.

I guess I had more important things to worry about; i.e. my draft status (I know, I'm dating myself here), never having enough money, trying to keep fooling the PO that my feeble sporatic attempts at pioneering was motivated solely out of love for the organization, and not driven by a desire to keep from getting drafted.

Anyway, here we are almost 40 yrs later, and I still don't have enough money.

# 2 - I always thought it was "just around the corner"

simplesally

#9

(of the glad I didn't grow up in the truth and went to "regular" school class)

Dark Knight

Definitely number 9.

Interestingly, when I was concieved, my mother believed that I would be born in the "New System". I was concieved in 1975 but born early 1976 in the wicked system of things. And now, much to my folks dismay, no Armageddon or New System yet. But I know they still believe "it's just around the corner."

Cheers, DK

When you were, or still are, a Dub, how near was Armageddon to you?

10. Other (please detail) . . . Any moment, any day, any week, any month, any year, any decade, any century. . . .that's it!. . . I'm outta here!!!

Slowly and surely. . . empty promises. . . coupled with letdown after letdown. . .my faith in the jws dimished into nothingness.

Now that reality has set in.... the hardest part was accepting that everything I had put on hold until the New System was not going to happen unless I made it happen now, in this lifetime.

Agreed, we have a life to live. . . right now!! BTW, Scully. . . I'll do the SK list. Can't send you an email, it isn't working today, I guess I need to call someone to look at my 'puter. . .

Also, LOL at CyrusThePersian!!!. . . and a hearty welcome to the forum!!!

Franz showed that we do not, for we do not know how short was the time interval between Adams creation and the creation of Eve, at which point Gods rest day of seven thousand years began.

Great post Blondie. I had almost forgotten the "gap between Adam & Eve's creation theory".

Interesting isn't it, the way the 7000 year long "creative day" was neatly forgotten when people started realizing it just didn't add up.
