  But after leaving the organization, did you want to experience new things with your time but didn't know exactly what? No

  How many here believed, down deep in your heart that the end would come in 1975?

  i was straddling the fence on that one, just in case they were right.

  i don't recall.

  telling anyone this is your last chance.

  I think I believed that the anointed JW's were commissioned to preach and that Matt. 24:45-47 was fulfilled in 1919. I also believed that they were virgin class that was part of the 'sign'. I also believed that the Great Tribulation could start before 1975 and that 1975 ended 6000 years of the 7th creative day and adjusted my life in accord with that belief.

  
  

  In 1976 I did not feel any disappointment.

  What woke you up?

  by Israel Ricky Gonzales in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  in march of 2014, i was a very active jw, a ministerial servant, gave a public talk, was an attendant for the memorial, and one of 4 cleaning captains for an international convention of 40,000+ attendees.

  so what woke me up?

  an innocent comment from a co-worker about the candice conti court case rang a bell that could not be unrung.

  I'm not particularly keen on the expression 'woke up' i think it may suggest that i was sleeping which i don't believe I was. I was raised as a witness and baptised accepting the good news of Matt. 24:14 and it's fulfilment as preached by those who said they were commissioned to do so. As long as I was convinced of this I remained a witness. When there was a change in the understanding of scriptures associated with this verse and I no longer felt convinced, I could no longer participate in the witness work and so I stopped engaging in it.

  what were *your favorite *books in the organization?.

  out of all of those books, i liked "mankind's search for god.

  " however, it appears to me that this book is incredibly obscure and no one recalls studying it during the old book study format.

  Most of the books were studied at one of the meetings and I cant say I ever felt I enjoyed them there so why would I take time to read them.

  So I would have to go for one of the shorter ones as being favourite, could be any.

  Since I don't attend any more I would say "God's Eternal Purpose Now Triumphing" For Man's Good

  Why Me?

  do you ever wonder why out of all the witnesses, you are the one that woke up?

  i wonder many times why me.

  i know many men and women that are much, much better persons than me; either they are much smarter, more humble, kinder, more successful, or just better persons all around.
