i cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.
so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.
how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.
Either the original writer or the copyists of the Genesis account, for some reason undisclosed, (Not good at math, the slave girl accidentally spilled wine on the copies when the wife came home unexpectedly, or some other reason) caused the writer of Genesis to add an an extra digit. 96 + 9 = 969
(Genesis 5:27) So all the days of Methu′selah amounted to 969 years and he died.
so, not long ago i've told you guys how one of my only two jw friends saw my comment against the borg and called me about it.
well, the little fraker also called the elders to tell on me.
i know i've been a huge idiot for posting a comment about jw's on facebook, but nonetheless i did it and what's happened, happened.. two idiot elders came all the way from the nearest congo, 30 miles away to talk to me about it.
Back in 2007 the elders I knew after I exited the cult in 2003- drove 80 miles - from over an hour and a half away to come interrogate me one month before my marriage about committing alleged " circumstancial fornication " with my fiancé. And I had not attended a meeting in 4 years !
80 miles after 4 years, I have no words for that. It's just crazy. Non-jws would not believe stuff like this happens in the WT Org.
i am sitting at the recent assembly, bored out of my mind (have you ever heard anyone call these things fun?
) and the next speaker walks out on stage.

James Mixon and John Aquila....how many of these sisters did you guys have that said that??
It seems like a really messed up comment that only a seriously mental person would say.
But you guys had several say it?
What part of the world was that?
I’m right smack in the border of Texas U.S.A and Mexico. I’ve counted eleven in a ten year period that I can remember. We have a lot of people that cross the border illegally and Mexico is a dangerous place with all kinds of dangerous people. Anything you can think of, we would get in the Kingdom Hall.
Messed up persons? You bet. Elders that were involved with Drug lords running to the U.S. Women who were former professional prostitutes, transgender individuals, etc. But sorry to say, the KHs are growing like crazy. We are talking Spanish congregations

That is one thing that was good in the borg., always have another brother or your wife with you when talking to sisters about this matter. That was the number one reason why elders were DF.
That counsel was always taken seriously in my Circuit when it involved an older sister like Grandma Kettle, but usually it was some young single sister in her early twenties who looked like Barbarella and that counsel went out the window. Every other month some middle age elder was DF and a few months later he was seeking reinstatement with his new wife---Barbarella!
i was having a discussion with my sister yesterday, and she said to me,'mom told me that if dad dies at armageddon, she cant get remarried in the new system' .
i told he i have never heard such a thing, but i do recall that it was believed that anyone who dies now, cannot be married in the 'new world' because they are to be as angels in heaven.. she said , so why be resurrected if yiu cant live your dream of having a loving mate and perfect children?
god is still dictating to you how you will live.
One old elder use to say in his public talks that there won’t be a need for marriage because everyone will be naked like Adam and Eve and we will all learn to share one another. There will be no need to be ashamed because we will have perfect bodies and will be able to share each others perfect bodies forever and ever. Eventually we would have sex with everyone alive.
(Genesis 2:25) . . .And both of them continued to be naked, the man and his wife, and yet they did not become ashamed. . .

I do recall a single sister who said she was being molested
by demons at night in her bed.LOL
Poor sister all she needed was some relief.
I was an elder for many years and I had many sisters who would approach me requesting help from demon rapes. Many of these JW sisters would describe in detail what the demon would do to them. From undressing them and licking every inch of their body to the final act that would last for hours of pure ecstasy.
Now that I learn TTATT and know all that stuff about the Devil and demonss is Bullsh** I wonder; Did all those JW ladies have serious mental problems or did they have something else up their sleeve?

Take your pick!
This guy or the Red guy
this week has been the week when my whole way of thinking shifted.
i still cannot believe how this can happen so fast.
over a period of seven days i went from not even imagining that i could ever not be a witness to wanting to get out of this organisation.. .
I'm thinking what the hell was that.;;; Coffee all over my keyboard
LOL, it’s a little reminder of our first encounter with TTATT
It just blows you away.

I really enjoyed your experience on waking up. At one point I did the same thing. I prayed and prayed to God to give me an answer if the JWs had the truth. Of course I got no answer. I guess I was expecting a voice or something like that. So I kept researching and learning about 607 BC. The more I learned the more I realized I had been tricked, not for a few years but for a lifetime. That’s hard to swallow.
Recently I had a Jw friend who was in a minor accident, not anything serious but by the time he reached the hospital he needed blood badly. Long story short, the elders convinced the wife no blood and he died. My friend could have easily lived another 20 years and enjoy his wife, kids, and just life in general. Now the wife was convinced to pioneer as if that will help. And I see other JWS wasting their life going door to door, attending tons of meetings and conventions.
I sometimes wonder if my prayer was answered. It’s one of those things that I can go either way. Yes he did-no he didn’t. One thing for sure, that organization is a dangerous place to be in. You can lose your life literally or lose your life, (time wise by wasting it)
Either way, I’m still glad I found out even at 60.

You are going to need time to regroup. Lots of time. Don't get any JWs involved at this point. When I learned TTATT it was like this:
