and you realized there was no 1914, there was no generation that would see the end of a wicked system, there was no paradise around the corner, .
what went through you mind?.
I now realise life is hopeless. I hate life. I can't wait to die but don't want to end it myself.
Hang in there my friend,
I think it's time to take a little break and enjoy a nice slice of pizza, a drink, and sit back and enjoy a nice scenery with some nice background music.

And you realized there was no 1914, there was no generation that would see the end of a wicked system, there was no paradise around the corner,
What went through you mind?
And when you realized that the thing you cherished the most, that is;
That you would be with you spouse forever, and with your children forever, and with your grandchildren, and with your great grandchildren, and with your parents, and their parents,
Had just been ripped out of your hands,
Did you break down and cry?
Did you feel like killing someone?
Did it take weeks to recover, or months, or years, or are you still recovering and see no end in sight?
after gradually waking up to ttatt im finding myself with this question:.
since it is so easy to be indoctrinated with jw beliefs, are there other areas in my life where i'm also under influance of other false beliefs?
from the culture i've grown up with, school etc?.

I think that is just part of life. Our life span is so limited that what we believe is the result of the knowledge available. People used to believe for thousands of years that the Sun revolved around the Earth. Millions died believing that. Then more information became available and we found out different.
I think we are all under undue influence in some way or another until we find out we are. Then we're not!
..that the governing body are only in it for money and power?.

JohnAquila - I hate to say this, but I wonder if the GB prefer children!
i believe that the religion will remain stagnant due to their achilles heel, the kids, the children, that next generation.. most of them really don't wa t to be in the religion.
the parents may have tried everything within their power to make the kids love jehovah but we all know you can't force someone to love you and you can't make a grown person stay in a relationship or situation if they really don't want to be there..

for decades, i slaved for wts, mentally, emotionally, financially, familially, socially, educationally.. at times, when i was the only one caring for the maintenance needs of the local kh, and being discouraged at the "sacrifices" being contributed to the borg, my spouse would say: "jehovah sees what you are doing.".
and yet, later, my spouse turned on me, turning instead to "jehovah's elders" and totally threw me under the bus.. paul, allegedly, said in hebrews: "for god is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name.".
i feel nothing of the sort.. does anyone feel similarly?.
"For God is not unrighteous so as to forget your work and the love you showed for his name."
Sounds familiar;
Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He's making a list,
Checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
i'm confused.
reading the day's text for yesterday, they talk about jesus coming and that it is a future time after the great tribulation.
i thought they have always said he came in 1914 and earlier at other times (russell).. .
He did come, but not to America to inspect his corporation.

Did they have spectacles in Noah day?I
I guess that explains that little indiscretion. Noah thought it was his wife. Surprise!
(Genesis 9:24, 25) . . .Finally Noah awoke from his wine and got to know what his youngest son had done to him.
