  my dad asked the co about this one.

  mat 27:52-53. and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, .

  and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

  one time a fight broke out between two animals in the crawlspace under the kingdom hall. the growling and yowling and thumping and banging was quite funny during the meeting

  i hated meetings and service and especially assemblies for a long time. I held on and kept plugging away because I was afraid to lose my social network and I was afraid my marriage would suffer if I quit. As it turns out, leaving the witnesses behind has been 100% good for me. I have new friends and I'm so much happier, and my marriage is better. My kids are happier too. It sounds to me like you are ready for a change as well.

  Bloody livid with school teacher teaching soul leaving body to 6 yr olds

  by not bitter in

  just put my 6 yr old to bed and we always have a chat about the day.

  she tells me that she knows about another thing that happens to our bodies when we die in addition to buriel and cremation.. .

  she tells me that they can do something really nasty to the body but its ok because they're dead so don't know about it.

  my 6 year old son's kindergarten teacher was a very religious woman. He keeps on making statements about going to heaven and it's obviously coming from the teacher or other students because he never heard anything of the sort when we were dubs, and we don't believe those things now either. I find it rather disturbing because he keeps talking about killing himself as if that would result in a disneyland type fairytale vacation in heaven.

  Hello and my exit story from WTS

  i thought it was fitting for me to share my freedom from the witnesses story on independence day weekend.. i dont have any secret info, just experiences that happened to me and started to open my eyes.. i was a third generation, raised in the truth kid who was never supposed to be born, and then never supposed to graduate high school.

  ive now been out of high school longer than i was in school.. the beginning of the end started a little less than a decade ago.

  i was late 20s at the time.

  Let's lighten things up a little

  since many of us in the us are watching the clock before a holiday i thought i would resurrect a topic that has been dealt with in the forums in the past but not for a couple years.

  pranks.. i spend a large amount of time thinking up pranks for revenge or just for the heck of it to amuse myself.

  i will post the ones i remember to hopefully make everyone's day brighter.. first off, one of the concrete bases anchoring a fence in my back yard started crumbling and the fence post started to lean.

  in an effort to get some help and hopefully help others, i'd like to start this thread about psychology, specifically starting with the subject of anger management.. .

  personally, i don't have much of a temper.

  what i do have, i've learned to control.

  desperate or stupid - you decide

  just ron has received a couple of phone calls in the last few days from the rbc brother wanting him to come roof a kingdom hall.

  now, just ron hasn't been to a meeting since december 2011, and certainly hasn't got a current volunteer form on file.

  so i ask, are they desperate or just stupid?.

  I suspect the RBC is just as disorganized and bad at paperwork now as they were 10 years ago when Just ROn first volunteered to help on the builds. Or it could be a set up, I wouldn't put it past them
