Were you 'alive in '75' and how was that year for you?

by punkofnice in

i was a junior borgite in 1975. i remeber looking at the calendar at work in october and thinking: 'armageddon isn't here yet.....and it doesn't feel like it will be here anytime soon either!'.

i was surprised that jehovah hadn't obeyed the superior command to bring the big 'a' as instructed to him by fred franz.

how dare god disobey the jw leader!!!!!.

Don't let anyone tell you they didn't say the Big A was coming in 1975. They absolutely did.

I left in 1976.

hello everyone, i know you have heard this topic before and your probably thinking.

...not again lol.. but i was wondering if anyone has thought of going back for the same reasons as myself, i don't think its the truth but i searched and my conclusion is that other religions don't have the truth, they are all wrong in my opinion.

if there is no other religion to go too, why leave were i was born and raised.

Satinka, I think you missed my point.

You are preaching to the choir.

I am so far beyond it that I hardly even come HERE anymore! lol

When I first came to this site under another name in 2003 I thought sometimes about going back. I guess there was a part of me that thought they still might be right.

After reading here over the last 10 years I know that it is not the truth.

What would be the point of going back?

It would just be a waste of time that could be used more positively and productively almost anywhere else.

Get a life. I don't mean that in a mean way. I mean GET A LIFE!!

Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?

i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .

and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

And I forgot to mention Simon and this site - which put the last nail in the WTS coffin.
