I'm the same as Grisette, in that yeah I definitely experienced studying the Revelation book like 4-5 times at the bookstudy through the years, and definitely the UN was the Wild Beast who eats Babylon the Great and all that gnarly stuff.  So I definitely know what you're talking about, Cacky, it's just that it wasn't "the turning point" for me. 

Personally I have no reference for 1975 as my mom didn't start studying until 1988, and I doubt anybody informed her of the atrocities that happened 13 years earlier.

I did grow up thinking that the "generation of 1914 wouldn't pass away."  So technically in 3 years is when the end of the world is coming, right?  Screw the Mayans.  smiley: tongue
