Hi, I was here years ago but havnt been around for maybe 7 or 8 years. I was brought up as a JW, my mum still is, Ive studied and studied over the years but have never been baptized and have always had nagging doubts.
Ive been trying to talk to my mum and her husband about my doubts but its like they dont understand what Im saying, my mum's husband jumps from one topic to the next, throwing point after point at me and doesnt listen to any of the answers I give him.
For instance this week I told him that I doubt the bible because when it talks about the last days it fails to mention the ice caps melting or about the technology we now have but talks about wars etc that mankind has always known. I just get the same answer from him everytime "It cant mention everything or the bible would be a mile long". I make the point that it would only take a few sentences, a page at most just to talk about some of the things happening now, but then he goes on about how the bible isnt a scientific book but when it touches on science it is accurate.
It annoys me so much, his answers are parroted straight off the platform, not an ounce of his own thought has gone into what he says.
He is so brainwashed, I mean, hes a good man but hes brainwashed.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi :)
