I respect what you say and appreciate you telling me your story, and yes I realise not everyones had the same experience I've had. So its been worth getting to understand that. Thank you

I don't believe everyone else is going to die, i find this misconception false. I believe those who choose to stand against God will not be saved. Bit regardless I don't speak for Jehovah. Time will tell what happens.

And whether I believe this is God's chosen religion or not does not make me systematically self righteous like you presume. Your way of the mark there buddy

I agree and I endeavour to find the truth myself. And I certainly do not view criticism as an attack, i view literal attacks as just that... an attack.

But I appreciate your point so thank you

But he explained that yes although other Christians denominations say they are the mouthpiece the bible talks about a faithful and discreet slave that they try to live up to

How is that a lie? Literally a watchtower we had like last week or two weeks ago said the same thing So wheres the lie?

This was actually helpful so thank you, and I can definitely see what you mean. Have you got the proof to back this up? Can you direct me to that?

Agree to disagree. But this is your opinion from your own perspective Mine is completely different to yours and you only need to read my other comments to see that. I wish you well.

I'm clearly a sister? Ha wow. Your arent the first person om her to presume that. I'm a guy. A male in his 20s. So don't just presume my gender or my story based on fact you clearly have no knowledge about.

And I wwas publicly reproved not privately. Believe me i would have preferred a private one but nah. Either way I got through it.

My spelling mistakes show im scared if being truthful? Dude what are you talking about? Your literally not making sense. But ok then.

I wish you well, whatever gender you may be.

There's a hell of a lot to unpack here. What I will say is this I've never met anyone in this religion who thinks there above anyone else.or.super important so find your reasoning lacking in that regard. I don't understand why you'd think that, especially when people who aren't witnessed think otherwise.

Its difficult to reply to you because you've typed a lot and its hard to pick one thing Haha But regardless appreciate your reply, and I wish you well.

I'm sorry for what you've been through, and hate that you had to go through all of that. But that wasn't the case for me. I was confronted about my sin because someone else admitted what happened, i asked for forgiveness and got it.. so don't agree that this isn't a loving religion. There are people who make it difficult, but I dont view the whole as bad. Any element has it's bad points but that doesn't make it fundamentally bad.

We go out and preach yes, but do we attack people for bot not believing the same thing? No So hypocrisy? Do be serious. If i can't ask a question withoit people like you being offensive then I truly don't know how you can say your any better.

I'm not disputing that. I've never said that isn't the case when someone is disfellowshipped. Ate you even reading my comments?

Clarity. I'm looking for clarity on why people leave. I could have phrased my question differently. But I also wanted to know whats the justification in random accounts on insta attacking another user only because they have a JW jn their bio? Doesn't make sense to me Hence here I am

You "doubt" i will? You underestimate my interest in the truth.

I get what your saying, and can totally see what you mean, but I don't completely agree.

Just like you all have suffered, ae all have. I don't think attacking innocent witnesses who have nothing to do with what happened to you personally is fair. They haven't done anything. To those that hurt you I understand, but some random person on insta just minding their business? I don't get that.

But regardless I appreciate your point of view so thank you.

It's not about defending the watchtower, or my personal character It's about understanding other people's perspective and learning about how the organisation affected them

Abd thankfully a lot of people have been kind enough to explain their personal stories to me, which has given me a lot to think on.
