  growing up scared of Armageddon

  by bittersweet in

  i was just curious if any of you growing up in the truth were overly scared of armageddon?.

  when my mom came into the org.

  in the 70's,the only so called kids book was the paradise lost book.the pictures in that book scared the pants off me!at night when i was lying in bed,if i would hear a loud plane go over head,or there was a thunder storm,i was sure it was the start of armageddon and i would be sooooo scared.i was wondering if i was the only one overly scared,or if their were others.. also,was anyone out there extremely frightened of the demons?i would hear all these crazy experiences of people having problems with demons,and i was sooo frightened they would come bother me.maybe i was just a big old scaredycat,but if any one else has any experiences,please post them!

  My single mother was one of the worst... we would be active one year and not the next.... xmas one year, and not the next. Same with telling us about the end of the world... one year it was immenent, and the next year she was partying and ignoring it. We went along for the ride, only being pre-teens.

  I remember the big orange or peach book with the pictures of people getting killed in the end. It was held up to me and my sis when we fricked up (politically correct term, folks) and were told this would happen to us if we didnt make our beds, or whatever. When she married the dickhead that was to become an elder, he even went further.

  Yep, being raised with fear is a not-so-fond memory. Most religions are tho... the heaven and hell thing. I dont worry now, cuz I have been thru hell and it can only get better from here. I just chuckle at those worried about "life after death" and let them beleive what they want.

  Smoke gets In Your Eyes.

  i was just wondering, how many of us here took up smoking after we left the witnesses?

  i have to admit that it was just about the very first thing that i did when i finally received that sumbeam of enlightenment that jw's were simply not anything special.

  i drove out to a country pub, bought 2 panatellas and a half of red barrel, and spluttered my way through my first cigar n' pint.

  Hey princess...

  Does your kid also confront fat people and tell them thier heart is gonna explode?

  My wifes nephews used to pull that shat (politically correct word for poopy caca dutie) on adults when they were little. My payback was explaining how things you eat are made, like hotdogs, while they ate them. I think the one kid puked.

  Dont let your kids be rude.

  there seems to be a lot of discussion these days about iraq, even on this site, which i think can be handled in one easy illustration.. if your family was mugged, and the mugger without question is going to shoot and kill them, but you have the opportunity to shoot and kill the mugger first, would you not do it?

  no time to discuss the consequences with the mugger, cannot discuss with said mugger on how he would "feel" if you shot him, no time for anything.

  if you do not react, he will kill your family without question, without hesitation.

  In a sense, it is our fault... we put these people into office then dont take them to task. I dont think there is personal bank accounts being filled by all this, but I do feel there may be a power grab going on. I also think that there is a level of frustration, with 9-11 coming up in a few days..... and the news media aint helping matters any.

  My group of bikers follows much of whats happening, both for our good as riders, and our good as citizens. We feel there is no diff between the repubs and dems anymore, they are all crooked liars that only worry about thier cushy carreers. We would love to be part of changing that by making all of them unemployed.

  Hey search...... thats a sticker on the front of my bike. Some lady at work looked at it and shook her head, then told me thats why I smoke. I refrained from telling her I was as healthy as her 400 pound ass.

  I smoke cigars, dont care for cigs anymore. Wife does cigs tho, and I take one now and then. I dont smoke in the house, only cuz it sucks to clean the walls. I smoke in my garage tho, and out on my back porch... and in my pool. We have friends that dont smoke, one even said my smoke bothered her... I showed her my shed out back, said thats the non-smoking area. She got the point.

  Then the USA should wait and do nothing... true? I am trying for an answer here, not more rhetoric. Having been born here, I know much of our history already.

  Lets see if I have this right....

  The attacks on the USA were the fault of the USA, since we force our ways on other countries. And, we shouldnt take any preventative action based on that fact. Am I correct, or did I miss something?

  The nice thing with these bikes are.. its a sellers market. Take mine for example.... I will sell it in a heartbeat, but for my price. That 1918 piece would fetch a nice penny too.

  Did it have white tires? Next time you are near there, can you snag me some photos of it?

  That is a Harley.... 1927-29 era. I had a '27 for a while.

  The engine is 74 cubic inches... the seat behind the driver is called a buddy seat... the round thing near the headlight is a tool box (imagine putting wrenches in a coffee can and hitting bumpy roads).

  These bikes cost about 350 new, back then. They were all Olive Drab in color (green) and supposedly, the first stop after buying one was to a paint shop.

  I collect old pics of bikes, I snagged the one you posted for my collection.

  Thanks
