No. I was a pioneer in good standing up until the day I walked out of the WT study never to return. These are the reasons I left:
1. I had doubts about some of the WT teachings since the time of my baptism but let them go as the issues were not very important ones at the time. But as the years went on the teachings of the WT became more and more ridiculous and unbiblical. In addition to this I began to see how works were always elevated over love, mercy and kidness to others. And so I felt in my heart I could not longer support the organization.
2. in doing bible research for a study I had, I discovered by accident that the WT Changed over 200 verses in the NT to back up their own interpretation of scripture. I was literally horrified by this but it really showed me that I had to get out quickly.
3. My children were abused by nutcases in the KH who were allowed to roam free by the elders who cared not one iota about me, my kids, my hubby nor anyone else but themselves. And they were involved in more immorality than any of the publishers I knew. I realized they were just like the "wolves in sheeps clothing" Jesus warned us about.
4. Last but not least, I prayed to God and Jesus to put me on the right road of learning about them and they answered my prayers. I saw that being in a personal relationship with them is a much lighter yoke to carry and that I did not need the WT org. to understand the bible. God provided me with the promised Holy Spirit which I prayed for and continue to pray for each day. I now know I will be saved and can in good conscience partake at the memorial as apposed to never knowing I am saved in the Tower and never being allowed to be one of Christ's sisters.
Happy to say that I helped my hubby see the light and both kids. We are all now free in Christ. Lilly
