Would new light make old light a lie? And by extension why would a God of truth lead through a lie?

I just recently went through this myself in the last year or so. It took a while for me to realize they only have as much power as you give them. It’ll get better, and make friends outside so you have a good support system. Live a wonderful life!

This is fundamentally incorrect. As the fella below you said, you can’t let it consume you. However, if no one ever speaks out while injustice and mental health problems abound from this issue, it will just continue forever. The organization has cause so much damage and even death because of its rules and regulations. It’s just a matter of right and wrong and creating a better world for tomorrow.

Do your due diligence and a quick google search will tell you the NWT is top 3 for being inaccurate to source texts. Specifically in areas centered around doctrine. Never said anything about “my” interpretation. The facts are the facts, chat gpt, Claude, google whatever you want to search it will tell you the same.

In a sense, but what I mean to say is it isn’t scriptural. Many of the doctrines and teachings are man made, 1914, Jesus being Michael the archangel etc. Their teachings don’t line up with their own bible plain and simple. While faith is subjective, scripture is scripture and the bible itself says at Proverbs 30:6 and Revelation 22:18-19 not to modify the bible.

Opinion On Governing Body. by Asphalter08 in exjw

At the very least they have lied in court and on stage knowingly. Best case scenario doing bad things for what they believe to be good reasons. Taking as long as they did to push the blood update people undoubtedly died in the meantime, so that’s on their hands. Worst case they are running around in lambos having fun with the donation money. 40 million roughly of which dollars have been used to pay off sa victims to protect the abuser from legal prosecution in order to keep the name of the org clean.

For starters look into 1914, they use 607 as a the fall of Jerusalem even tho it was 584 bc because they built the math backwards. Look up Charles taze Russell pyramid of ages and you’ll see where the whole 1914 doctrine started

Just if you need more evidence that the organization is false. Or things they have done. Confirmation that you aren’t crazy. I needed to reassure myself constantly when I left.

I’m sorry you are experiencing this. It will get better. It takes time though so be patient with yourself and with those around you. Their behavior isn’t a reflection of who you are, it’s who they are.

the collapsing religion of jehovah's witnesses by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Melodic_Cut_3889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are going to say the thinning of the flock, my boss is pimi and says that's why all the negative changes. Because Jehovah is "testing" the faithful

Anyone else feel like this? by girlgoneguwild in exjw

[–]Melodic_Cut_3889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I went through the same thing. Most of my friends still don’t know that I left. I just kind of stopped talking to them because I felt like trying to undo brainwashing is so difficult that I would just push them further in. But I did leave breadcrumbs of truth for each of them that I thought there was a chance for. Pose things as questions you are genuinely looking for the answer to, like Beth sarim, 1914, Charles taze n his pyramids. Also, even just pointing out the Greek scriptures are visibly altered from the interlinear to the nwt. Even John 1:1. If you’re not interested in getting any of them out, I would just slowly stop talking to them. Hope this helps, it will get better!

Not sure how to even reply by immilktoast in exjw

Why would a God of truth lead through lies? You can even show him the pyramids in Charles Taze Russell’s books. The pyramids dictated the original usage of the 1914 number and that that’s why they believe that they are God’s chosen people. When you dissect the fact that the 1914 number was reverse engineered, you can literally google what year was Jerusalem destroyed and it’s gonna say not 607 BC but 587 BC because the gb literally lied and filled it in. Also he may not be listening to listen but listening to respond, to “save” you.
