At The Peak Of Your JW Spirituality, Did You Ever Not Believe Something ? (page 3)

I refused to believe that only Jehovah's witnesses would be spared at Armageddon.............or whatever the belief was. For having been in it, since I was 4 years old, it's amazing how much I've forgotten these past 10 years. That's not a bad thing.

I didn't believe Jesus was talking about the generation of 1914 when He said, " this generation will by no means pass away until all things occur."
I didn't believe the "woman" of Revelaton chapter 12 is Jehovah's wife-like heavenly organization.

Minimus- Having been raised in it since birth(1959) got out 2003, dad being a elder and older brother ex-bethelite very overighteous elder. I guess I just trusted gullibly that what I was being taught was the truth. There were some decent teachings on fruitage of the spirit, etc. but started really doubting when I saw what was being taught was not put in practice, just given lip service, so to speak. The hypocrisy sent me over the edge. Peace, Mr. Flipper

I've posted this before.

Forgive me for repeating it, but I find it appropriate to the topic. And I get a kick out of it.

I gave a baptism talk at a District Convention(10,000+/- attendance) while I was a full-blown apostate.

Didn't believe a word of what I said. And I told my wife so en route to the convention.

So much for the Holy Spirit.

For me it was the idea that people's salvation depended on how they responded when JW's knocked on their door, usually at inopportune times. I couldn't help but wonder, if I hadn't been fortunate enough to be born into it, how I would've responded. Most people we called on were conditioned to believe we were weirdos. That's probably what I would've thought as well. I couldn't believe God would destroy all those people just for not accepting what we were telling them.
