Hi guys,

Why torture yourselves about this business? The whole religion thing is a myth. Psychiatrists make a fortune out of tortured minds that confuse religion with reality, the two simply don’t mix. Religion contradicts itself so much it’s pathetic. It’s far better to be a happy atheist than a tortured believer. Do you really, truly think there is an omnipotent being that knows your thoughts and will condemn you for them? Really? Your God is your conscience and that’s it. Do what is right and you need fear nothing. Get rid of guilt, it doesn’t deserve a place in your mind. Evict it. Be happy, and forget about religion.It’s easy.

wow well written sister. some times i wonder if jehovah is still supporting the organisation or may be he left years ago. just look at the history of the organisation, failed prophecies,forever changing doctrines,double standards,child abuse, disfellowshipping of those who speak up i bet more jws are kicked out simply because they dont agree with some of the teachings like 607bce, 2witness rule and many more.

what really botherd me was when the watchtower society joined the united nations without us knowing and then they pulled out when people started asking questions and to lie saying its just for a library card? what else have they lied about?

I also was raised as a Jehovah’s witness. My father was an elder/presiding overseer and a regular pioneer. My older sisters were regular pioneers and both of them have elder husbands. Since I always stumbled by Jehovah’s witnesses I never dreamed of marrying a Jehovah’s witness though I believe Jehovah. I kept praying to Jehovah and asked him specifically what I really needed. I pour out everything inside my heart to Jehovah. I petitioned and reasoned out to him that finally my impossible prayer was answered. I had many resentments but I never blamed the Watch Tower because they taught me about Jehovah, and I believe he is the real God. Though I know, deep inside my heart that there are many flaws in Jehovah’s Witnesses organization, I couldn’t find any religion that teaches about Jehovah and is closer to the truth or more plausible than the belief of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I believe the anointed Christians, that they belong to the small flock and for the heaven citizens. I believe in the prophecies in the Bible that the anointed Christians taught us. Though I believe the teachings of Jehovah’s witnesses, I also believe that there are many flaws in the teachings, and there are many corrupt elders and many fake partakers. But they are all in the bible prophecies. It has always been that way ever since the world was first created. For me, I will just continue believing in Jehovah and wait for the new system of things. The elders in the congregation where I used to attend just kicked me out and would not allow me to enter in the kingdomhall again, but I don’t care because I know Jehovah is with me. I never committed fornication, that was what I was so careful of about because I don’t want Jehovah to depart from me.

I stumble upon your blogs and I admit I can relate to it. I was born and raised as JW as well and my father is an elder. During my colleges days, everything I know about religion and my belief was put into question. Since then, I searched for the “truth” and I attended different churches, organizations just to listen and learned. Hoping I can be enlightened and know the truth. The more I searched the more I get confused. Enlightenment will confuse you, not the opposite.

That was 8 years ago, the outcome of my religion quest is not expected. Im not affiliated to an religion organization anymore, and I don’t go to kindgom hall or any church, because I believe that no org or religion can save you on Armageddon but your faith does.

When Armageddon, or end of day, or zombie apocalypse comes, that’s the only time we know if we are fucked up by JW teachings, or we are just stupid that “truth” is already in front of us, we just doubted it.

The conscious class. Nice turn of phrase. I’m a proud member of it and reading Raymond Franz’s Crisis of Conscience as we speak. Knowledge is power, no matter what they say. I’m exactly where you are right now, being shocked and blown away by one doctrinal flip-flop and discrepancy after another. I really appreciate you sharing your story and hold you your convictions carry you through. Can;t wait for Part 2.

Hi Kay !
I’m writing from Italy
My story is similar to yours , I’ve written many times to the italian Bethel for some answer … and after about 6 years , now in these last months I don’t go to the meeteng because my “crisis of coscience” … you understand .

I’ve read Crisis of Coscience , In search of Christian Freedom and many other books. I believe too in God , in his Son , in his Book .
I’m , too , technichally , a JW , but my point of view is far , so far from their teachings .
Particularly in these 2 years I’m making researches about chronology , about 607 / 587 , all this researches make me so busy , but I’m very happy to dig about this foundamental teaching !

Recently an elder , who didn’t see me from some months at the meetings , came to me , for a pastoral visit .
So I was clear and sincerely told him about my researches about 587 and on.
He didn’t know this argument as better as me (I wrote to the British Museum and to other professors) and told me that he wants to talk again about this , when he’ll read the WT october and november number about chronology … I’m still awaiting for his visit , after about 3 months !!!

So people don’t lost our faith in God , and make sure of all things !!

Greetings from Italy
Malcico
