Hi everyone!
I figured it would be fun if i wrote this, went for a shower, and then came back to check how many have responded!
Just to set the scene, im currently a JW in the UK but i am having issues with my sexuality. I have just come back from the ministry with a group of brothers! We met one man who told us we were closed minded!
I AGREED WITH HIM!!!... I have noticed that many of the JW's these days are rather closed when it comes to researching other ideas, but even when researching more about the bible itself!!! It annoys me that so many STILL just go along with what the WTS say without even researching and looking in to it themselves! What about the scripture that talks about making the truth (which i understand to be Gods Word) your own! When i was in university, we were encouraged to question EVERYTHING!!! Perhaps im not the average JW but im so glad that im more open minded about the whole thing! Im willing to listen and reason with other peoples ideas and opinions, some of which i will accept further if they are valid.
What do you think? If some of you are no longer JW's do you still have a firm belief in God and his promises?
