Hi everyone, I am David. I've been watching and reading this forum for a while. Let me tell you about myself because it's an itch I have to scratch.
-POMO: I got into a deep depression few years ago and I wanted to hurt myself. To be clear, I wanted it to HURT.
-I ended up in a mental hospital for a month in wait for it... Jan of 2020 and got discharged mid February. That's right, when the "mental health professionals" were advising me to go on trips and live life and stuff lockdowns happened less than a month later in March. I was furious.
-I am in Canada.
-I got baptized little before my deep depression.
-My parents have history with the organization. My father started in his teens and is on off. My mom has been one since before I was in kindergarten. They are both regular attendees and believe them fully.
I am extremely greatful that this organization made me realize the TRUTH of all things. And something is not making sense to me with this organization.
I am living off-grid with group of people who are against vaccinations and lockdowns. Some people say "Oh I am not against vaccinations, just forced ones and poison". Forget that, I am against all vaccinations general. I am anti-vax. I probably took a few in childhood years but I was constantly sick for 10 years. After I reached adulthood I can say one thing I have for myself is health. So much for medicine. My policy is hospitals are for life-or-death situations and anything else is just a waste of time.
Like back when I knew that I was at a crossroad choosing to study with the witnesses, I am at one now. This is very serious. The road and guesses have to be correct. It's my life on the line. And I want to see the final days happen and be on the right side.
What "crossroads"? The off-grid people I have associated with come from various backgrounds. I have been valiantly trying to get away from the big city(Vancouver) and I have. Previously one of the groups I was considering joining was a "Christian" group. I couldn't accept that. The one I am in now is like I said from various backgrounds.
I know the great tribulation is coming. The day of Jehovah is at hand! But I know it won't be instant. There are few things that must happen. Before that I must say I am now ready to serve if I know the road is sure, but the JW organization is very murky to say the least. I had a feeling when I was with them that it sometimes felt like they deliberately want us to take the painful path. I went through this in my head multiple times. "Poison disguised as vaccination part of the suffering required"? Is that what he wants? That's the trial by fire? But if it causes deaths and pain to their followers, aren't the governing body and every authority in the organization involved RESPONSIBLE for the crime"?
Sorry but W T F! I can't understand this. I guess I have a strong conscience and a strong desire to see humanity succeed and prosper. It seriously depresses me. If that's what Jehovah wants I cannot accept such a god. I will gladly accept the punishment at the end. We know the fiery hell is a lie and you'll just die at judgment day right?
I say to people "I used to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I agree with 90% of what they are saying. The 10% I disagree with is the lockdowns and vaccine mandates.". I also say to people this group of people suffered and DIED defying Nazi Hitler! What the hell are they doing now? It absolutely baffles me.
I need to know. This is starting to really worry me. I cannot stay with this group till the end. Maybe this is the path I need to go but most of the "freedom groups" are I believe part of the group that will be deceived as the final veil is taken off. As most aren't even "Christians" at all. Yea creating a new society and all that sounds nice but like Daniel prophesizes, you will go against Jehovah at the final days. I don't want to be part of that.
There are countries in the world that are under extreme oppression and I know it will be opened - such as North Korea. The things Chinese suffer sounds like utopia compared to that country. Because everyone needs to hear the good news. I think if that happens I will go and preach at any cost. The strange and negative feelings about the world I had far back as I can even remember when I was just a child, THIS IS IT! The obsessive need to save in every area(especially) finances for something. This is it! Knowing the real truth of the holy scriptures is hard to explain. You feel special for it.
To be clear I am not afraid of death itself. I want to choose the right path. Everyone saying those who have firm belief in God and his son Jesus feeling content despite being just about to be executed, I can understand that now.
What do I do? What is my path? What is OUR path? Are we doomed as they say?
If I had it happen the way I want it how would things go?: The Jehovah's Witnesses organization will be reprimanded by Jehovah himself and there will be serious upheaval. Then there would be no hesitation. Back to the roots I say!
