Sigh... memories coming in Atlantis... The whole Revelation-saga including all those beasts, angels and visions was extremely attractive to me and probably the first trigger that led me to the truth the borg. I was really into the occult, heavy metal, new age, astrology and numerology during the 90's and I was already familiar with numbers such as 144,000 and 666. The "revelation" that was cast down to earth and caused war and trouble really made sense to me from my perspective, not knowing that the "proof" for the "last days" was lied about/taken out of context (unfortunately no fast google-check for me because the internet was not yet mainstream and after a while I was already sucked in and working hard for my "spiritual progress" )
I jumped in at the good ol' congregation book study and did the last third of the '88 Revelation book. It already was the third time it was studied back then, and I remember that I prayed that I might see the day of a 4th study. It came! lol I told everybody how JHVH had blessed my desire to study my favorite WT book once again! I secretly enjoyed the fact that this revised version really was a bridge too far for most of the elderly. Prophecy was the stuff I thrived on . One older sister confessed that the first version already went over her head, let alone this revised version with the list of all the adjustments lol
I guess the discernment of Jah's deep spiritual truths (being proof of his divine blessing through the HS!) has been largely shred to pieces with the "new light" on types-antitypes in the march 15, 2015 edition of the Watchtower.

Glad I got out around the time the borg became flooded with that infantile Sophia & Caleb crap and that boring street card witnessing and BEFORE that feeble, boring 'Life & ministry'-meeting. Still, the Revelation book is special to me because of the fabulous overactive imagination of its writer(s) and the "grotesque" artwork of visions and beasts!
