I used to.
It passed as soon as I figured out I had been bamboozled and lied to by some
demon inspired men up in NYC.

The great tribulation ended in 70 AD with the destruction of Jerusalem. The second coming, "that day" will occur during normal time when people are carrying on life as usual and no one suspects His arrival.

To all-- Looks like alot of you let fear get the best of you and your imaginations ran wild- the Jw,s never taught that those things would happen to you, Gods word does teach there will be a Harmageddon. The very next prophecy after the prophecy of Egypt-Libya is the fall of Babylon the great-like a swift pitch into the sea. alls you accomplished is showing that your faith in God was like what Peter portrayed when he denied Jesus 3 times in front of the ridiculers- but he repented and went to his death- the other christians who had faith were thrown to lions and ripped apart in front of the ridiculers. They will gain everlasting life-Does one think that God wasnt with them and maybe didnt feel the pain-God was with Daniel who showed faith in the lions den and in the furnace. You relyed on your own understanding-it doesnt work.

The Watchtower was always critical of those churches that used the
fear of hell to keep their members in tow. But there is little difference
between the fear of hell and the fear of Armageddon as a threat.
The Watchtower has merely substituted one for the other.

As I child, my mother studied the Paradise Lost Paradise Regained book. In those days, there was no other publication for children. At the end of the book it covered Armageddon prophesies complete with black & white images of piles of bones, corpses & total destruction. We studied it twice. It was a lot of fun.

What will you do if it does happen? Will those fears of an imment death be founded?
Why would you be afraid of anything if you are a morally upright person?
Matthew 24:7 (New International Version, ©2011)
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
In context;
7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
Ya, I would be nervous right about now....
