| Logansrun, that is an excellent question/post.I remember just after I left the organization. That 'Last Days', and the 'true peace & security' mindset, stayed with me, for a very long time.For me, the longer I was away from the WTBTS, bit by bit, and slowly, many of my ingrained fears and scriptural mindset, crumbled.1 year, then 5 years, I could notice a psychological difference. I stopped being 'afraid' and I started to live. In the early part of my leaving the borg., I was almost ready to 'end it' if/when I heard "True peace and security". In my mindset then, I figured, I was going to be destroyed, so why not do it myself, without any horrific Armageddon? That's how I felt....then.Now: I don't believe in Armageddon. The "Last Days" phobia, has ended. Living continues. |
