The pre-1975 JWs had the same mind-set about the big A, except it went on for 9 years, from 1966 to 1975. The Tower set up the 6-month Bible study program using the "Truth Book" because the time was short, and we couldn't waste time on folks not getting dunked as a card-carrying JW.
It's nice knowing the span of time before the big A is only 5 weeks, instead of 9 years! :)

Im probably the only Idiot who feels like this ..but,even though i know its complete bunkum,i still get a small shiver down my spine every time i hear stuff like this!!
Damn Apocalyptic nonsense for 30 Years does that to a Person i suppose.

You aren't the only one, fleaman uk. I get a little frisson of fear every time, until my brain kicks back in. So many years of JW conditioning will do that to you. I'm hoping that with time it will fade out totally.

A very prominant elder told her this @ their bookstudy......
Funny how prominent elders, or those of the annointed are taken as seriously as if the Watchtower magazine had stated it. Since the founding of this assnine Organisation.....there have always been.....and always will be, those who speak their OWN opinions to publishers.......just like this jackass did. I well remember publishers telling me some 'wild things' i'd never heard of before.....and then they finish with...."yeah but sister so and so said so and she's of the annointed"....or..." he's an elder"! Fact of the matter is......most of the annointed I knew were about 2 steps away from living in a funny farm. Gumby

Thats exactly how i feel!
I know im close ...but not quite there yet.When i first started fading 2 Years ago..i was quite terrified when i heard People talking as that Elder did..even though ive known for ages (1995)it was all rubbish.
Nowadays i just get mildly worried ..but it soon goes.Far more important issues to face...like what time am i meeting the Lads down my local tonight??

OMG and I thought I was finally going to get my money out of my ex-husband for our house. LOL I just bet he is thinking I will be destroyed before that ever happens come December 2005. He has been waiting the end to come and destroy me so he won't have to pay me off, I bet he is going to be steaming when it don't come. LOL Times up for him and not me. LOL
