IrishDancinJames, the poster on another board who had the terrible Armageddon animated video, seems to have a real Armageddon hang up.
Here is a post he made on Purelanguage.net. The responses follow. Notice that the thread was shut down after 3 or 4 posts? The bold is mine. The second poster seems to have PO'd the board moderator and the thread was then shut.
This also is interesting after reading Ginny's thread on life after Armageddon.

Exciting info from the C.O
Just thought I'd share this exciting tit-bit of info... during our Circuit Overseers excellent talk (it was about our sense of urgency, and how little time is left) he mentioned that the Brooklyn Bethel are doing "after armageddon training" for some of the brothers there. Exciting eh? When he said that, I could feel a ripple of excitement travel through the congregation. The society are always a few steps ahead of everyone else on thing, so this really brings home how close we are now. Does anyone else know anything about this, what this training involves, or how many are doing it?

After Armageddon Training
Well, it seems to me that we are all doing that, training for life after Armageddon, since the spiritual paradise exists now that will survive through Armageddon. What does it take to get into this spiritual paradise and how do we stay in it? The publications at times have suggested perhaps some of the building work done today may come in handy in the new system (assuming we keep building in the same fashion with the same materials). But the most important building is our building up our relationship with Jehovah and Jesus Christ.
In times past the Society has given practical advice on how to continue to conduct the preaching work under ban and persecution. I just remember that we receive our instructions from the faithful and discreet slave class through its legal instrument the Watchtower magazine. I'm sure if such a thing is happening, it will be conveyed to all of Jehovah's people in that way.

After Armageddon scenarios...
You survived, and then you realized someone else you did not expect and has hurt you has survived as well. What sort of training do you need NOW to live another hour in post-Armageddon world with that someone?
You survived, and were being given assignments of clean-up that you have never dreamed doing yourself. What sort of training do you need NOW to live longer another hour in post-Armageddon world with those kind of assignments?
You survived, and it is now weeks, but Paradise doesn't seem to be happening at the pace you thought it would, what sort of training do you need NOW to avoid a critical and complaining spirit against the leadership in post-Armageddon world with those seeming delays?
Some training are special for logistics and organizational reasons. Some are life or death, hoping that you survive the 1,000 years one day at a time.

The best survival training is what we are all getting right now in counsel to build on our relationship with Jehovah and His Organization.
However, it is best to receive instruction like this in congregation, through Jehovah's dedicated channel of communication.
That way we avoid hearsay or speculation.
