  i think i've figured it out.

  being raised a jehovah's witness, it's like my life has been "on hold" for 50 years.

  pathetic.. while we've been hoping.....the rest of the world has been living..

  this one is the most glib i've seen.. actually, several times "75" came up.

  maybe they feel the more they bring it up and make light of it, the more of a non-issue it will become..

  We were ALWAYS looking for "confirmation" from traveling overseers, Assemblies, Conventions, new publications, new hall dedications, special Bethel speakers, rumors, friends of "friends"......and we got it! Constantly. It WAS the push. If you didn't believe it, leadership would at the very least look down their noses at you, you were looked at as if you were weak, etc., blah, blah, blah.

  The people that thought/think is was/is inconsequential, were in the organization for their own selfish reasons. The whole push has been impending Armageddon.

  I am thinking that the resulting mental health and economic problems didn't REALLY start to show until the 90's, and it can be seen by the huge dependence on medications in the congregations (does not minimize the devestation a the time). It is really just starting to build steam. Kind of an "overlapping generation" type thing. It will continue to compound.

  Really, it's pathetic, but I'm kind of like the rubber neckers when they see an accident. Faded/inactive observer here. Never miss a CO visit.

  Did they understand what death was like for humans? Had they seen another human? Did they understand punishment? Did Jehovah warn them about animals that could communicate with them?

  Not sarcastic questions. I had to ask myself that when trying to comprehend what the creator was capable of.

  I don't think Adam and Eve could have understood what their Father was capable of.
