hello everyone just made an account here.
basic history: early 20s, former bethelite, ms, and pioneer, now college student (hell yeah, but finding it tough!), but still stuck with believing parents. been lurking for 2/3 years, but have been fully mentally out since early this year. my parents are laidback so they dont really care what i do, kinda. i plan on leaving when i graduate from college/move out (hopefully in at least 2 years). however i can still joke about stuff with my parents, like how assembly/district convention days are now 8 hour nap days now that im no longer pioneering, or how i can be like them and only have to get 2 hours of service a month in now with a basic "want mags???" presentation.
my biggest issues with jw's isn't necessarily beliefs, blood issue, etc., but is just the bible. i was just thinking about things like how the whole earth could be covered with water and the problems with that scenario; how very, very little historical evidence there is for anything mentioned in the bible; how when jesus was killed and there was that huge earthquake and "dead being raised" yet nobody recorded anything about that; how god is so very violent in the ot but so peaceful in nt, why the change; how that prophet can be permitted to kill 40 kids for calling him bald; etc. also of course the pedo issue and the report/non-report state stuff.
i have also been noticing a lot more focus on the gb. last year or early this year, nearly every watchtower mentioned how we should obey "the slave" and i never saw that so much before until recently.
thats it i guess. GO GEN Y@@@
