When I realized I didnt pursue an education and waisted my life til I escaped at 31, Yes I was disappointed.
It was nice having everything figured out.
Now I dont know whats going on anymore.
Were YOU Personally Disappointed That The End Didn't Come Yet?

mind my own
No, I didn't want the end to come. I was scared to death about armageddon and I wanted to grow up and live life to the fullest in "this world" and then I figured I would be ready for the "new system". I remember feeling really guilty about feeling this way, but I really didn't want the end to come!

Billy the Ex-Bethelite
I guess I'm kinda in the same league with Maddie and Jaguarbass. I felt bad that billions would die without fair warning, but I didn't want to see my family grow old, get sick, and die in this system. The answers worked well enough to keep me in and working hard trying to please Jah.
For years I was disappointed that the end hadn't come as the bOrg had promised. Now, I'm not disappointed that the end didn't come, I'm disappointed, disillusioned, and angry that I wasted so much of my life following false prophets.

Nope. I was never ready "yet".

Many Witnesses with good intentions could never figure out how a loving God could simply obliterate babies, the elderly, the handicapped and impaired simply because they weren't home on the day a Witness knocked on their door.

For years I felt duped. We all were duped.
Now I'm ready for aging and dying just like every other person and aiming to make the most of the time left.
Guess 'Christendom' has the last laugh at Jw's for their expectations.

Not really, I never got baptized because of possible end but because I thought I was becoming a part of something far greater, as it turned out I expected too much in that regard.
As far as the end is concerned, the way the world is going at the moment I think we won't need divine intervention of any sort to make ourselves redundant on this planet, we will do it to ourselves, no need for god.
