Armageddon out of here...
by transhuman68 ini guess nearly all of us believed in armageddon, and we believed that it would occur in our lifetime.
we didn't have to worry about planning a career, or saving for our retirement- the new system would be here by then.
somehow we had been chosen to be the generation that would live forever.

I guess nearly all of us believed in Armageddon, and we believed that it would occur in our lifetime. We didn't have to worry about planning a career, or saving for our retirement- the new system would be here by then. Somehow we had been chosen to be THE generation that would live forever. Looking back now, it all seems ridiculous; how many generations of Witnesses have believed that? They have all passed away. Because we only have one life, we believe we are special and thousands of years of man's rule will end when we want it to.
I have an excuse; there was some urgency in the last century: The king of the north & the king of the south were pushing, 6000 years of man's existence ended in 1975 (If you can believe the calculations), and 1986 was the international year of peace. All signs that the end was near...Now the 21st century seems to stretch on to infinity and the urgency has completely gone. Why did we think we were special?

Perhaps Had a " Ghost " Experience the Last 6 weeks on a Job ? You tell me
by flipper ini've never been one to believe in " ghosts " .
i'm open to the possibility that there may exist something in the afterlife or spirit world- i just don't know what it is.
having been out of the witnesses over 6 years i had my fill of being a jehovah's witness and being told how " scared " i should be of satan or the demons.

I'd say someone is playing a trick on you, Mr. Flipper. Ask me about exploding light bulbs... it was funny the first couple of times...

Honest Question..........
by thraxer68 inwell, first off, iam new to the forum here, i registered maybe a week ago???
sometime around there, but anyway, i do have an honest question.
i guess a little background about me might be helpful and if not, at least therapeutic.

Welcome. I think we all wish the Witnesses were less hostile to other religions and people who disagree with them. Maybe they want the certainty of being the only ones who have 'the truth'; whatever that is.

What now? Where to from here on in?
by Aussie Oz inwell, it is about six months since i came on here.. i have a stack of files and information at my finger tips that frankly i dont know what to do with!
it is almost like i have forgotten more than i learnt when i go back through it all.
sometimes i re-read stuff just to make sure i am really really sure of it all.. one of my main reasons for beginning this journey from apologist to 'apostate' was first to de-construct the power that held me since i was 10 and secondly, when i realized the truth about the 'truth' and the watchtower corporation/s, to get my kids out of it.. on one hand i want the wbts to be some distant forgotten memory but realize this probably will now not be until i feel they are 'safe' and.

Maybe you are seeing the whole situation from a different viewpoint now. When we leave the Witnesses, it seems that they have the power, because they are a strong group, and we are all alone. Now you realize that they are completely wrong, and they are waiting for an event that will never happen, you are in the driving seat. It is still hard for us 'born-ins' to plan ahead and live like normal people, though. Good luck, Oz.
