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.
