End of the World in May makes a JW laugh...

by undercover in

a jw (who i have discussed the generation of 1914 with in previous discussions) asks me, "did you see in the news this group of people that say the end is coming in may?

me: "yea, i saw that.." before i can go on, they respond, "i can't believe people fall for such nonsense".

me: "what's the difference in saying 'the end is coming in may' as opposed to saying, 'the end is coming before the generation of 1914 dies off'?

witnesses love to say they are in the best school available---the theocratic ministry school.

witnesses don't want you to express research on a subject when giving a comment during a meeting.

just read verbatim what is in the paragraph.

I was told,while growing up,mired in the borg,"dont bother learning any of "mans ways",because god will teach us all new stuff after armageddon.new language,new alphabet,everything.' Thats why many of my peers dropped out of school,cause of the impending 1975 "end of this system of things".Hell,I was even told that we would ride around on,no shit here,BIG BIRDS and FISH!!!! There were paintings of this at the hall that someone had rendered.They used to scare me,kids on a manta ray or hawk,but now,Id look at it with amusement.

i have offically asked lady lee to delete my profile on this site.. that being said, i want to thank everyone that was there for me through my hard times coming out of this cult and dealing with my wife who is still in it.

i know that it seemed like i didn't care and was not gratefull for all the support that i received on the site.

that's just not true.
