Hello all,
I've been lurking here for more than a year, never thinking I would post. THIS thread, however, demands a response from me. I'm just shaking my head, not
believing what I'm hearing. I've heard Leon Weaver speak before and even "hung out" with him and his wife, Ruby. He can be all over the place, thundering here
and there, and only on occasion have I heard this "I'm-gonna-tell-you-a-secret" voice. It's just his style. He's quite a nice guy with a great sense of humor. (I guess it's not him after all?)
However, this just about ends it for me and now I don't know what I'll do with myself. "No one knows the day or the hour, not even the Son." I don't think there's any
way anyone can get around this, especially if they believe the Bible.
As for me, my experience is common: raised as a JW, never went to college, pioneered for years. I've always had doubts but have only recently been allowing myself to
think about them in any rational light. I realize now that this is just another apocolyptic religion. The whole thing is getting to be a drag. Meanwhile, the other
things I'm finally letting myself do (have "worldly" friends, skip meetings, applying for college) have all been fantastic experiences for me. I always thought that
these things were "bad". Now I know that's not true and that they don't know ANYTHING about ME and MY needs in life.
Sorry to hijack this thread, but to the person (WAC) who first posted this: Thank You. Your post may have just saved me.

P.S. (I hope I haven't stolen someone's posting name - it's what I was eating when I first registered. I have no imagination.)
