    Well I just got back from 3 days in hell, and geez was this convention strange or what? Im sure someone's probably made a topic about this already but I can't believe that there weren't any new releases besides the movies. Has that ever happened before? It seemed like this years convention was really focused on Armageddon, there was nothing about going out in service or experiences that people had like usual. Now my crazy mother is going on about how our message is going to change soon and we won't have to preach anymore in the great tribulation. Everyone who doesn't hide in the stupid basement will be doomed.

    I feel really strange now, it boggles my mind that people will actually believe this stuff. The manipulation in the videos was so obvious! This cult is so crazy, it kind of scares me sometimes. Now everybody is expecting the great tribulation to be sooner than ever, what will the watchtower do when it doesn't come? Have any of you guys been to the convention? What did you think about it?

    My wife's convention is coming up. Should be interesting to see the Armageddon fear kick into high gear. It will probably make my life hell for a while before it all calms down again.

    In the 1970`s-80`s their was speculation about preaching a message of doom associated with a campaign of successive brochures that we were delivering world wide.

    Nothing eventuated of course.

    In the 1980`s the UN ,"the abomination that causes desolation" pronounced a year of " Peace and Security ".... 1 Thes.5:3 nothing happened

    Every time a failed prophecy is exposed , it`s excuse turns out to be New Light .

    Remember what the old "Private Home Book Study" was for?..

    It was the most important meeting you could go to..

    Once the Government Cracked Down on Religion..

    It would be the only meeting you could secretly go to..

    There is the assumption that all jw live in houses with basements. what of the new wt palace being built in New York state (I happily stand correction) does that have basements for the gb to hide in?

    Any buildings like those in Warwick have basements. Where else would the real wt slaves work, down by the boilers, sewer pipes, and rats!

    The early to mid 70's the bunker mentality was pretty heavy in the area I lived back then, and even for a couple of years after, thinking that the date was just a little off! It took about five years, for it to really sink in, that the GB was wrong! But no on would say it out loud!
