How many JWs thought they would never reach their teens, 20s, 30s... retirement, end of their lives... before the new system came in?
How many JWs spent their whole lives trusting the organization, loyally believing and proclaiming one failed date after another, only to be blamed in the publications for running ahead of Jehovah?
marked hey all.....
I remember when I was 17 and studying in 6th form college for my "A" levels, I was chosen to give an experience I had in college at the Circuit assembly. I was told not to say "college", but "school" for fear that some young ones in the audience may see it as acceptable to go onto higher education.
(edited) That was in 1984.

okage:
Good post. I came into the religion after 1975 and they carefully hid this fiasco from new studies like it never happened.
Now, they must imagine that nobody from 1975 is around or they won't dare talk about what happened. So, the religion feels confident to peddle the same worthless message again to a new generation of gullible people in the religion! With the internet now available to everybody, hopefully there will be fewer people who will fall for it. I am so sorry the internet wasn't available to me back then. I would have run from these people and not looked back.

I feel so badly for people born into this religion. When I hear stories about faithful JWs who sold everything in 1975 and had to start all over again because the world did not end, it is truly sad. Not sad that the world didn't end, because I would not be here, but sad because these JWs were so trusting and believing with a dead-sure certainty everything that was taught to them! You can be very sincere but be sincerely wrong.
