  an older man and wife - ray and mary - got chatting to me today.

  they were tourists admiring local wildlife.

  i gave them a few tips on where to go to see some interesting things and it wasn't long before they were telling me about how awful the world is "nowadays" and paradise yadda yadda.

  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.

  cant leave:Yes my ex-JW wife scared the dickens out of our kids.

  Magnum: you are not alone in your suffering, but it could be worst, still

  believing in the crap.

  VI: Oh sure they never said that, just speculations from guess who, none other

  than Fred Franz.WTH...

  Peony: hang in there. You will eventually get at a stage where you will

  say, bring me a JW elder and let me set him straight while looking at him

  straight into his eyes.

  They take off like a turkey in a corn field. They are afraid to look me straight in the eye.

  It took me years to get to this point, they have no power over me anymore and they can

  sense that.

  Phizzy: good for you

  Londo 111: "Society never said 1975", but a lot of people ran ahead and no

  one was told them you guys are not teaching truth.

  Slidin Fast: I wonder when did the GB realize the R&F was out preaching speculation?

  They were also waiting to see if it was BS.

  Has the Great Witness Trolley/Cart campaign produced ANY results?

  by freddo in

  i live between two cities that are big enough to have their own metropolitan trolley cart arrangements organised at circuit level.

  the 3 congregations at the hall i attend have trolley schedule noticeboards.

  i see trolleys in the high streets and markets locally.

  The wife took a picture yesterday of two sisters with their cart. The problem is

  the location. There is NO walking traffic and one of the sisters didn't look in

  good health, she looked to weigh between 300-400 pounds. She was soaking wet.

  umdertoecho: they told a BIG lie and they shun you.

  freddo: so many brothers gave up good jobs, homes and common sense.

  william: I can understand those of you who were young at the time, your parents or

  older men in the congregation wouldn't lie to you, right.

  blondie: That's is what my mom kept telling my sister. LOL

  prologos: also moved where the need is great, but I learned a new trade so

  it worked out good for me.

  telling anyone this is your last chance. My sister went to my mom and told her, you

  have one year to become a JW. My ex- told her folks the same thing. I guess Jehovahs

  spirit wasn't working on me, because I still had some doubts. Thankful no one has ever

  told me, didn't you tell me back in 1974 we wouldn't be here today.

  You think one would be embarrassed, credibility down the tube.
