    The bible mentions it so I am curious about it. But no longer obsessed with it or in the least bit fearful.

    The structure of the WT belief system, teachings, doctrines are error,

    from the beginnings, and up to and including all core beliefs,

    including their end times prophecies and chronologies, and the FDS doctrine

    and the idea there is an "organization" that is the "sole channel";

    its all false teachings, disproved chronologies, untrue, NOT the "truth"

    So why is it so many fret over the details of teachings from a proven false source ?

    Are you worried about the earthly resurrection of the prophet Isaiah ?? That was

    in a Watchtower publication in 1919. Isaiah was to be resurrected to the earth and

    become a Jehovah's Wittness and live in Beth Sarim , built for him and the other

    prophets. Did this happen ? It must have; since the Watchtower

    said it would, right ? So since you retain fear of the Watchtower

    - go to Beth Sarim,( it is still there) and talk

    to Isaiah and see what he advises. Let me know what he says.

    Everyone is terrified of dying violently or in some horrible fashion. What kind of psychos put it in the minds of people that this is what they will experience if they fail to be loyal to their holy cause? Oh yeah, the WTS, that's who.

    Thanks QC, I appreciate that. I am just really tired today. Tired of questions, endless questions.. Tired of looking, tired of wondering. I am really interested in Pterism. A year ago i could never have imagined such a thing. Being raised a dub, I always heard about secondary fulfillments, and types, and classses. Well, the WT has a 100% failure rate considereing prophecy.

    Really read the scriptures from the Apostles point of view. Jesus was speaking to THEM about things that would shortly take place. If the GT already took place, where is the biblical proof that a 2nd one is happening? That doesn't mean that we have been forgotten or left behind. It could very well mean that we are just supposed to live our lives in a Christian manner as best we can. Then, like EVERY OTHER GENERATION without exception, we will finish our earthly course.

    I don't have all the answers, but I do have the Christian freedom to wonder. Thanks for the concern. I don't feel well, and I am losing my desire to live a fake life, and pretend to believe the WTBTS lies. When the damn breaks my very extensive family will be affected. I am not looking forward to that. I also don't sleep well. I have thought of nothing but TTATT for 2 years..even in my dreams.

    Peace,

    DD
