After i left WT, i went through a period of intense anger directed at the organization; specifically at its leadership. I would lie awake at night thinking how much i regretted ever opening the door to JWs- ever allowing them into my home, my life- I regretted my baptism. i was so bitter and hopeless.

Once I flipped through my copy of the Live Forever book trying to find something- anything- that wasn’t “old light”. I was making myself more upset.

I convinced myself that the organization was never what it stood for- and that i would have been better off without it.

oh, how wrong that thinking is.

Because last night, I read the chapter on Daniel in Jehovah Has Become King and as I read those prophesies in the bible and compared them to those in Rev about Christ’s parousia, and as I kept thinking and meditating on them, i realized that without my experience in the organization, I would not have had foundational knowledge needed to comprehend these things.

So i light came on in my head- I began to deeply appreciate that Jehovah used Watchtower, perhaps still uses sincere individual JWs in the org still trying to preach and teach the best way they can given the circumstances.

I’m grateful for what he provided during those years i served in Watchtower. It served a crucial purpose in preparing his people for Christ’s parousia and the tribulation.

the blessings Jehovah bestows are never ending!

What a great gift of love he has given his us.

Just wanted to share.

I like the point Robert made in his video about the second coming, that Jehovah apparently put up with the 1914 teaching bc JWs do teach the truth as far as Bible doctrine like who Jehovah is, the Trinity, the resurrection, etc and has allowed this ‘deluding influence’ regarding Jesus second coming as part of a test to see what we would believe when Jesus actual coming does happen.

Plus, JW's aren't the only ones who have made predictions. There are several denominations that have done similar things in which were total flops in prediction.

When you look at the online exJW community, they are some of the vilest and most vicious, truth-hating creatures in the jungle. There is not an ounce of faith among the entire collective. It is easy to see why God has allowed stumbling blocks to exist. Those who hate God are happy to have found a reason to hate him. Of course, the real apostates are some of the most prominent JWs. So, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Jesus is the firstborn of all creation. He is second only to Jehovah our Creator, but he is not Jehovah.
The trinity doesn't exist and was never taught in scripture.
Hell is a bastardization of the concept of the grave.
When you die, nothing leaves the body and goes anywhere to be tortured for all eternity.
These basic teachings are the most valuable things I've ever learned and I got them from the imperfect organization of Jehovah's Witnesses. Where the leadership made mistakes was when they tried to have an answer for everything and then rushed to issue a teaching regarding it.
A coworker once said to me, Jehovah's Witnesses don't know everything. All I could do was agree but I followed up with the truth, that we know the most important things, such as the true identity of God and his son Jesus. We also know that most of us aren't going to fly up into the sky when Satan's followers come after those who serve the true God.
I also was frustrated with things that didn't seem to pan out. Eventually I tried to convince myself that I was mistaken all along and none of it was true. The problem with that is that all I would have left is evolution, which is of course the most ridiculous attempt at fraud ever perpetrated.
Jehovah made sure that the most important teachings were established and stayed true. For that we can be thankful.

Absolutely W/T was/is our mother! Hos 2:2,5 & 4:5 Yes she's gone whore but does not abrogate her introduction of Jehovah's name and relationship with His Son. Her usefulness in casting a dragnet for those inclined has produced most of us here!

I'm glad you've made peace with the situation. It can be challenging. I think we all go through a similar process. That is essential to our faith. Like Robert said, those of us who've ended up here are the ones who truly love Jehovah enough to distinguish the imperfect organization from our perfect and righteous God because we love and know that he isn't the kind of person being portrayed by this corrupt org. And we love and care enough to not throw out the baby with the bathwater. It takes time, understanding, patience and true knowledge of who Jehovah is to sort it out.
I've come to view the WT as being similar to Judaism in relation to 1st century christians. Judaism was useful in leading the Jews to Christ, although relatively few recognized or acknowledged him at the time that he was exposing the corruption of the old system.
Same with how WT led us to this moment but has been allowed to become corrupt in order to fulfill prophecy and prove the universal truth of Jer 10:23 yet again.
My morning meditation today reflected on all of this and gave me a true sense of satisfaction and appreciation for where I am mentally and spiritual in this present moment. Thanks to Jehovah, Jesus, the Bible and even the WT organization for leading me to be right here at this moment so I can understand Jehovah's purpose more clearly and have peace again.
Over the past month, things have become so clear to me. I'm not even finished with Roberts book but I'm experiencing a clarity that I've not had since I first studied the bible. I truly believe this is a natural progression that all true Christians will have to experience and we will be here to help others adjust to it at the right time. I don't believe much in coincidence so I do believe Jehovah has positioned all of us here for a reason. We are some of the first to flee WT and will help distribute food and assist others just as we have received. Thanks to all of you who have assisted so far.

it really demonstrates how Watchtower is idolized. Once the idol is removed, these XJWs revert to their godless vomit- they do not entreat their God for further guidance.

It makes me wonder if this godless way of thinking sprang into their minds immediately after leaving WT or was it always there.

you said it! Yes i am finally at peace and everything makes sense. No more forcing the puzzle pieces to fit, no more squaring a circle.

When i was a kid, if i couldn’t find a puzzle piece i’d try to force it. good enough. my mom would eventually help me find the right piece and oh what a releif. This is like that X 1000.

Hi Asadour
I enjoyed your comments I Felt the same way but as you said it’s been a foundation and as Robert has said it’s still Jehovahs org he chose it . He chose Israel too had to discipline them as he will soon them. My hope is that the gb will have the sense to read Robert book and take heed of my letters sent to them and others & change course so the love that was a lot in the Organisation can be improved. So discipline is less harsh . Restored especially for the rank and file members who are enduring inside Jehovah organisation. Copy’s are available on my website. You baptism is valid and is between you and Jehovah only . Many Christian Regards , Paz

I completely agree with that 💯 When the wheels do come off we will be here for our brothers and sisters as a lantern in the darkness-ready to share the cold hard and uncomfortable truths and to help them pick up the pieces to get back on the road to life only because we didn't quit upon learning it ourselves! And yes I agree this must all be Jehovah's direction. I also think they will be sorely unprepared for the food shortages as well. As far as I can tell from conversations, they don't view it as an issue as of yet. Maybe they trusting that the WT will take care of that for them when it really gets bad?:oops:

Indeed the WT was used by Jehovah. As time goes by, it is apparent not so much any more. The Bible gives clear direction on the rebellion of the "organization" created my men to "serve" God. It's the same thing that happened with Israel wanting a King! The Nations had a King, so Israel wanted a King. So Jehovah gave the petulant child what he wanted. Same thing is going on today. All of Christendom has there "mega Churches" so the leadership has provided what most people want.

I wish I understood and experienced the same responses as you do Jah-son. I cannot claim to be an emotive person - and I know through-out your association here that you are a thinker, one who meditates and ponders and receives joy through that process and though I hope that I am no less certain of the attributes of Jehovah, I find my search clinically academic and inquisitive, searching meaning through creation, from atoms to social nuances of the characteristics of Jehovah. I wish on occasion that I was full of the joys and exuberance of Christianity but instead, I seem to simply wonder over a complex creation that is impossible to understand in its divine magnitude of diversity and it’s minuscule, fabulous miracles of design. ☹️

I think ones background (culture, upbringing and heredity) have a large influence on their perception and approach to the world around us. You seem to be more of an analytical thinker. I've known many solid brothers like that. Jehovah draws all types of people to him.
We simply have to form an appreciation for him and he can work with that.
We all have strengths and weaknesses and wish we were more balanced in certain areas. I appreciate the way that you and others here are able to analyze scripture. I tend to have a simplistic view and I'm not so good at understanding prophecy on my own. But my simplistic view allows me to see the big picture and hopefully view it more from Jehovah's perspective.
You are correct that I do find joy and inspiration in the simple discoveries and progressions that I experience. I've always been intuitive and tend to move mainly on instinct which makes me feel more connected to Jehovah in a sense.
I too love to ponder the miracles and complexities of creation which inspires me. I look forward to an endless exploration and discovery in the future paradise.
I was feeling a bit down yesterday morning due to the heaviness of the situation we are facing with the org and the dire circumstances we are heading toward with war and societal collapse looming but my wife and I had a chance to go to the beach for the afternoon. I did some snorkeling was able to find joy in the wonders of creation. I swam among a group of about 20 squid for the first time also saw my favorite parrot and damsel fish and unexpected 3 foot long trumpet fish. They were amazing. I'm thankful for the simple joy's like these. They keep me grounded.

Psalm 83: "O Jah do not be silent do not keep quiet or still, for look those who hate you act arrogantly with cunning they secretly plot against your people. They conspire against your treasured ones."They say: 'Come let us annihilate them as a nation so that the name of Israel may be rememberd no more!'".....And look who's against our alma mata, our old Ma' in vs's 5-8 E'dom, Moab, Tyre to name a few....no doubt their master insists our total demise! Vs 12 "For they said: 'Let us take possession of the land where God dwells.'" The end of Psalm 83 we know well. And soon when Edom, Moab using Tyre do their worst
Lam 2:16 "At you all your enemies have opened their mouth. They whistle and say' We have swallowed her down. This is the day we were waiting for we have swallowed her down, it has arrived and we have seen it.'"

Thanks. Good points. It must be nice to go snorkelling and see beneath the waves. I dread to think what is under our waters between France and Dover.

'Let us take possession of the land where God dwells.'
Are they sarcastic with that statement or do the know? I think anyone who understands ambiguous sayings would know where God dwells?
I say this for when Ca'iaphas high priest prophesied to the sanhedrin 'that Christ would die not only for the people but for the whole nation and to gather together into one the children of God who were scattered'. From that time on they conspired to kill Him. John 11:47-53.
