I really hope a few I can really talk to and relate are here. So far quite dissappointed from what I've seen.
THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT, FIRST I"LL ADDRESS THE NON/EX JW then I'll address the JW's (JW's scroll down if don't wanna see the first part)
I see so many who have concluded that it was not 'God inspired', a lot of what is being done, and their conscience told them that many things conflicted with Jesus teachings and the bible.
What is in your heart?
Did it not occur that perhaps the bible and Jehovah are still real, and that he expects you to put your faith and trust in him, and seek him out in the scriptures as to how to live your live and what to do for the future?
Did you allow the discovery that their may not be a full truth, to become a cause for joy and excitement that perhaps your free to do all the immoral things and sinful things that displease him, because he will be 'understanding'? I can't believe how many seem to have just given up or wanted to give up. (not saying you should of stayed in the organization, but just how you have lived your life 'after' leaving')
DID YOU NEVER READ THE BIBLE OR GET WHAT JESUS WAS TALKING ABOUT?!
WHY did Jesus not give BLACK AND WHITE answers and explanations for everything, WHY did he speak in illustrations? Well he answers that himself, at Luke 8:9 - "to YOU is it granted to undertand the sacred secrets of the kingdom of God, but for the rest is it in illustrations, in order that, though looking, they may look in vain and, though hearing, they may not get the meaning.
Then in Luke 10:20 - I publically praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have carefully hidden these thigns from wise and intellectual ones, and have revealed them to babes.
The "full" truth CAN'T be taught by human to human. How could you ever draw close to Jehovah or have faith in him, if everything you would ever know or find out was already told to you. If he sees you really seeking him out, like the fine treasure, the scriptures can open to you, and he will give you understanding and spiritual food you never imagined.
There is a REASON for why the JW organization is the way is it. And from what has been revealed to me in the scriptures, it looks like MANY are in VERY VERY VERY VERY BIG TROUBLE in Jehovahs eyes, even ones who think they are doing everything they should. I can tell you, that leaving or freedom, if going to the bible wholeheartedly, is NOT going to make life 'easier'. Tell me how many JW's have had to suffer and go through what Jesus and many of his apostles did? Other then abstaining from fornication, etc, is 6 hours a week (4 meetings, 2 service) out of 168 in a week, is that a hardship!?
I'm telling you, many of you will probably THROW UP if you really seek out Jehovah and he opens the scriptures to you, when you see how EVERYTHING happening right now, INCLUDING the congregation and his people, or those using his name, how all of this is FORETOLD and what is going to happen. This is meant for those who are truly stumbled and DO want to serve Jehovah. Those who were so happy and quick to get into sin, guess what, that was a test of your true heart condition, unless you repent and seek him out quick, you probably know what judgement is waiting.
I really am curious, why many of you have just given up on Jehovah like that. There is MUCH wisdom in what is going on, and much regret on those who gave up on him. (not saying the organization but HIM, the bible, prayer)
NOW FOR JW'S
I encourage many of you to read the bible, and focus very hard on Jesus words and the apostles. Are you serving Jehovah 24/7 or 6 hours a week?
Let's have an example. You go in service every week, meetings twice a week. You "know" or pretty positive 'know' the truth, so that your covered. Yet you dress worldly, party like worldly people, drink like them, because 'everyone' is doing it.
Then you have those of other christian faiths, ones which are not true. Yet they are very moral, very clean, do not dance/dress/drink like you. Even help the poor as often as they can. But they don't have the truth. Your telling them that if they reject you, they are done for.
When Jesus comes to execute judgement for Jehovah, who will he choose? The one who 'lead' the life he taught, or the one who 'knew' the truth? Better yet, what happens if when he comes, he says, you know, you guys really did not have it right, you were wrong in quite a few things. Then he says, so not only did you NOT have it right, but look how much you were judging eachother, tearing eachother down because of meeting attendance, yet outside of that what were you doing? I WARNED you NOT to judge, and now I'm PASSING the judgement YOU gave on YOURSELF!
Brothers and sisters, THINK. MAKE SURE your following Jesus example of love, make sure your living your life based on faith in him and your faith is producing the works, NOT that the works will save you. IF your being lead by the spirit, you will produce it's fruitage. If your being lead by the flesh, you'll produce it's fruitage.
I hope this gets to the right people.
If any are where I'm at, would love to talk. Can't talk about this with anyone I know, can't even find anyone anywhere but I know somewhere some are out there.
