Wolfgirl	Re: Deprogramming your "Last Days" ph...
	My parents kept me out of school (I'm one of those autumn birthdays) when I was almost 5 (the school was going to let me in even though I was 4) because they said, 'Armageddon will come before that. Why bother?' *ahem* My 10-year high school reunion was this past summer. I remember feeling certain that the end was going to come in 1986 because of the International Year of Peace. As I got older, I collected newspaper articles that I thought were relevant to the great tribulation/Armageddon. I was DF'd in January 2001. When the WTC attacks happened, I panicked. I thought, "Oh my god! They were right." It didn't help that my mum (still a JW) chose to ring me at 3 in the morning (I was living in Hong Kong, she in the US) because of it, telling me that the end was here. It's taken a lot to deprogram myself, and every once in a while, I still get a little twinge of doubt when I see a news report or some such. *sigh*
