Hi Kate14, welcome.
Why is everyone here?
Because everyone's not there.
You see, life doesn't need to be complicated. If you have questions, ask them, the collective wisdom on this forum is frightening.
i'm new.. my first post here asking for a little support was deleted by myself due to the frosty and rude replies i received.
.
i don't actually understand what this forum is for if it is filled with hostile people.. little confused.. why is everyone here?.

Wow, thanks for the effort. So cool!
i recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.
i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.
who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.
Interesting V7, no succes stories?

Lol, RedPill... I wish I could find a fun cult to join.
DATA- DOG, cults everywhere! Have you ever considered joining a political party?

Yes I remember, still have old and new versions covered in dust in my museum (or should I say graveyard?). It was by far my favorite book and I was well prepared during book study evenings.
All the prophecies, history, angels, demons, plagues, heavenly battles and visions of paradise were food for my imagination and hunger for that special feeling of having THAT spiritual insight, carefully hidden for satan's worldly system and the gentiles. God, was I brainwashed!! Yet, I admit it was exciting to be in the cult at that time.
I sincerely thought the Revelation book was the Wt's opus magnus, the one and only red pill for any christian. Couldn't see through the fake Rutherford era fulfillments yet, ignored it and thought the bigger picure still made perfect sense. Later the whole 1914 debacle became more clear to me, THIS wasn't marginal and couldn't be ignored! The whole thing turned out to be a lie and a placebo, New Jerusalem came crushing down hard but it still took me a few years to take a second red pill, say bye bye to the bOrg and return to reality.
Needless to say The Matrix trilogy is my favorite movie...ever!
this morning my wife made the comment ... "we'll probably experience famine next.".
i don't know that she'd come up with this on her own.
has anyone else heard a jw talking about this?.
No, but it's Revelation style wishful thinking at its best. St. John would be proud!
