I know exactly what you mean Bro Nomex and I am with you 100%! Just for clarity if I may, you, in your enthusiasm and love forgot to mention that we are not replacing the GB with Robert King and that it is Jehovah who has provided all these incredible insights as a gift to RK who is literally fulfilling the scripture regarding "good for nothing slaves". RK is an outstanding Watchman and we are acting as additional Watchers here at this forum and RK's main site. To Jehovah goes the ultimate THANK YOU!! But I know you meant that Nomex, just helpin out a brother here.It's strange and I guess funny, in some ways how our minds work. Some time around this same time, in the early 90's I suppose, when I really started pondering the things we had been taught, and back then I was going through a very unpleasant divorce, (my witness wife cheated on me, over and over and over), and still a young man, and wondering if I really "wanted to stay in the truth." I knew there were problems in the "org", and that was part of what I was so upset about, but I concluded the things they had right I could not honestly deny, no matter what had happened to me.
Around this same time period, I began to realize there was so much that didn't make sense. I had realized that Armageddon, and The Great Tribulation were two different things, but that most JW's thought they were the same event. And with that realization I also knew that there was no chance the GT was going to happen the way they claimed, I was more or less content with what they were saying, but now as I look back I guess I had basically almost subconsciously begun to dismiss more and more, their interpretations of prophecy.
Now I realize this is why I was "struggling in the truth", why I had such a hard time being "active" and I had completely stopped commenting at meetings. But it was all subconscious and I blamed myself believing I "was not strong enough spiritually" when really a very large part of it was I was scoffing internally at a lot of what they were teaching.
So when Covid happened and I had had enough, and found your site and info, it was easy for me to understand everything you had written. I say easy, but that doesn't mean I have learned much of it, it's to be sure a lot to unpack. But its the first time since I was a kid, that I was learning again about the Bible.
And to me, it's one of the most wicked things this "evil slave" has done. They blame Christendom for "deceiving their parishioners", because they are the ones responsible to teaching "God's people", yet they are guilty themselves of that very thing!
I know I am one of the most active participants of this forum, but that has not and was not the case for me at the Kingdom Hall and I had lost almost any interest in studying the Bible. I know the Bible really well, but nothing like many here. So thank you RK, and everyone else who have so much to offer to this forum, and for rekindling in me my love of God and the Bible. I still have a long ways to go, but this last year or so has been huge. A huge relief on many levels, a renewed understanding of world affairs, a new level of understanding that I had been longing for, and I truly feel like I was a"lost sheep, wandering about without a shepherd", but finding no comfort at the Kingdom Hall and not truly understanding why.
This place is awesome!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And thank you again Robert for the wealth of information you have provided and been providing! And let me say this, the reason I believe it, is it's the first time any these prophecies make any sense, because it lines up with the reality of what's happening before our very eyes, and like I told one Elder when Covid started "I can't unknow what I know."
Outstanding back-story bro!!
