  Have You Changed Since You First Started Posting Here?

  on a different thread, berylblue mentioned how, when comparing my 1st post to the present ones, there is an obvious change.

  i do agree that we all can grow and learn as time goes on in our lives.

  my question for today is,"have you changed in how you think or in your growth from a spiritual and /or emotional standpoint"?

  I'd have to say yes! And this change is the best! I no longer feel guilty about some issues I used to feel guilty about. It's comforting to know all the people on this chatboard also were in the same situation...being duped by the JW's. This site has enabled me to explore other religions without fear and share my new experiences with others.

  questions about 1975 and other dates

  by Leander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i were discussing the date of 1975 earlier this week and she basically was of the opinion that the individuals who thought the end was coming in that year came up with the date based on their incorrect assesment of published information.

  i replied that would it make sense for thousands of people across the continent to sell their homes and all of their valued possesions if they really had the slightest doubt that armageddon was not coming in 1975. she did'nt have an answer for that retort but still she insisted that somehow these people must have made a mistake in their judgement.

  so for those of you who may have lived through the 1975 fiasco and those who have in-depth knowledge about the events that took place in that year maybe you can answer a few questions for me.. how widespread was the belief that 1975 was the year of armageddon?

  What was the WTBS position on the matter? Was there ever an apology or aknowledgement on their part that their literature may have misled people?

  Ray Franz's Crisis of Conscience gives specific examples from Watchtower material citing the year 1975 would be the end of things. The society never acknowledged they were wrong. According to COC, brothers and sisters wrote to the society and they never answered their letters! They decided to just move on and never addressed it!

  just in case...because someone i know...moonbeam...hasn't made her presence made officially, but i thought: 'what the heck'.

  i wanted to kickstart it for her.. she's a darling, and when she gets all this stuff figured out, we'll see her on here soon.. she resides in the new england part of the u.s.a. .

  but in the meantime, and if you don't mind.

  saw a funny little article on cnn.. .

  one part of the article that annoyed me was this line:excessive thoughts or anxiety when not online.

  be careful that you don't have "excessive thoughts", guys!
