Hi all,
This is my very first post here. I’m from The Netherlands and still a JW. But doctrines of The Watchtower organisation have been gnawing at me for a couple of years now (since child abuse came to light here, followed by the Covid madness). My husband and I are the only two people not vaxed in our congregation of over a hundred people as far as we’ve been able to determine. But the covidiocracy from the GB really pushed the limits of how far we can still trust them.
Not wanting to disobey Jehovah we find ourselves coming back to two verses in the Bible: Hebrews 10:25: “not forsaking our meeting together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you see the day drawing near.” And Revelation 18:4: “And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues.”
I know we have to make the decision for ourselves but I’d like to know which one you choose and your motivation to do so. As the song says: Should I stay or should I go. I’d love to hear your comments.
