Jesus himself predicted it would happen in the last days
Just stay true to Jesus friend, study your Bible and pray to God every day.
It wouldn't hurt if you stand up against someone teaching something false, but don't make a scene !! Approach them alone

For the same reason the Catholics did, and still do.
The Bible as we know it is not the complete doctrine. Many books, chapters and verses were intentionally left out, modified and re-written by the Bishops of the Council of Nice, conviened in 325 AD by Emperor Constantine I. They were conviened specifically to resolve disagreements in the Church of Alexandira.
They selected convienient dates for Christmas, Easter and Good Friday with no Biblical references, editied and deleted parts and generally tried to make it more acceptable to the Emperor and the masses. This was the forerunner of our present day Holy Bible.
It was done once again in 1604 by the Hamptons Court Conference, by order of King James I, and pursuant to an act of Parliment, whereby the 3rd and 4th generation translations of the Bible known as the Bishop's Bible, and the Geneva Bible, were re-translated and re-edited once again. This is our King James Bible.
Since that time, there have been many more 'translations', causing many schisms within the religion. This led to the Anglican Catholic Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Catholic Church, the Reformation, Protestants, different sects, etc.....with each one convinced they are the 'Real Deal'.
I hope this answers your question adequately.

I think not. i'm not a protestant but as what I see they only choose doctrines that are in the bible and rejects the other doctrines of the Church for they believe that it's wrong like having an idol, the trinity blah blah blah..

Because the Bible was written by many men and not all of them are 100% on the same page. So as with anything any reasonable person reads, we all choose what we believe makes sense and in most cases, not whole-heartedly agree on everything someone writes.

And what ones do you see as not being chosen?
My thoughts on the matter is that when one is saved - you don't become perfect immediately - it takes time to learn and but things into place and the only true perfection is when we die.

Who knows, it makes them feel good? what I can't understand is why fundamentalists focus on Revelations, which shouldn't even be in the bible, since nobody knows when it was written or by whom, and was only a dream any way

Yeah, because none of the other christan groups do this.

Catholics do that as well, and I'm sure just about all religions do.
