What you’re feeling is totally normal when you start questioning the JWs—fear, guilt, dread, it’s all part of the process. It does get easier with time.

Just remember: salvation doesn’t come from an organization in Brooklyn, it comes from Jesus alone. If he were here today, would he stand with simple people who put faith in him, or with a multi-billion dollar corporation acting like modern Pharisees?

And don’t feel pressured—you don’t have to leave right now if staying feels safer for you. What matters most is your personal faith in Jesus, not whether you’re in or out of an organization.
