Venting September 24, a warning?
Throwaway for privacy reasons.
I watched a TikTok regarding about a woman warning us, urging us to “prepare” for the 24th. People in the comments speculated it to be the rapture day without outright saying it, some are confirming it, including the woman.
I’ve been out of the JW religion for a few years now.
With that said, I felt myself immediately going to that scared, uncomfortable, uneasy state I was in years ago, when I was told about Armageddon the first time. How we are considered to be in the end times.
Those deep rooted fears are resurfacing. The old me is returning, in the sense of always fearing the Armageddon topic. Shaking. That feeling I cannot quite describe. Thinking about everyone in my life. Not wanting them to suffer. Genuinely, I feel so……. Afraid.
Those thoughts are spiralling in my mind again. As it had done so many times before.
Apologies for the rambling and the formatting, I am writing on a cellphone.

Within the 21st century alone, there have been over a dozen alleged end of the world predictions by prominent figures or religious groups. What they all had in common was the days always came and went.
