  The last meeting I attended was two years ago. I had gone to the KH that evening with my parents who came to town for a visit to try and encourage me. I had a No.4 talk to give and when I got to the hall I told the school overseer I would not be giving my talk. He asked why and I said dont worry why. I then walked around telling everyone in the congregation that it was my last meeting. During the meeting my dad gave some stupid ass comment about having been in the "truth" 35 years and when you feel like you cant go on anymore you just need to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. When he gave that comment it confirmed I would never be going back. At the time I was 34 years old having been born into the "truth", I said to myself there is no god damn way I am wasting 34 more years in this fucking crapola with hateful people who talk shit "behind my back including family. After my dads comment I got up and left the KH in the middle of the meeting. The attendant said "are you leaving early?" I said back to him and laughed as I said it "I am leaving permanantly, this is my last meeting call me apostate because anyone teaching people a lie about living forever should be ashamed of themselves". He looked at me with his mouth wide like he had just looked into the eyes of Satan. My wife stopped going the moment I did and we saved our two children from a life of heartache. There was no way I was going to let my children be brainwashed to the point of possibly someday me being disfellowshipped and they shun me. HELL NO.

  What Did You Expect to Do During the 1,000 Years?

  by Ding in

  for those who were jws, what did you expect to do during the 1,000 year reign?.

  since only loyal jws would survive armageddon, it seemed to me that field service and tms would be eliminated.. so what did you expect to do with your time, besides getting rid of the dead bodies and petting lions?.

  i received an anonymous email over at ex-jw.com that had an attached legal filing.

  the first couple of pages seemed to be standard legal filings, but the rest of the pages looked like standard typed documentation (not in numbered double-spaced legal format.

  ) i'm not quite sure what to make of it, so wonder if anyone here has heard of it.

  A talking walking snake.

  Immaculate conception.

  Angels having sex with women creating nephilim.

  A dove descending upon Jesus after he was babtized.

  The transfiguration.

  Some dude wrestling with an angel all night.

  Jonah being swallowed by a whale and living inside for three days.

  A talking burning bush

  Aaron throwing down his rod and it became a snake

  Striking a rock and having water shoot out

  Three hebrews walking around inside a burning furnace with an angel

  Manna falling from heaven to eat

  People being raised from the dead

  Lots wife turning into a pillar of salt

  A pillar of fire leading the israelites at night

  A star leading the three wisemen at night

  Ok your turn. I am sure I have missed some. Please add if you think of any. How come nothing like this stuff happens today? If it did it would more than likely be blamed on satan and his demon hoards.
