they said....."this is wrong so you can't do it. if you do it you will be disfellowshipped, shunned, lose your family and everything you believe in."
then someone dies because they were following faithfully what wts said. family is shattered.
then a year or two later,...."oh now we have new light, it is ok now, don't worry. you can do it. no problem!"

There are some serious issues that we all rightfully have; child abuse, the UN issue, failed prophecies, etc., and they have affected many people adversely.
One thing that I keep coming back to - there's just too much of it. The religion is just too demanding. It takes over your life. It makes tremendous demands on your time, energy, family, and your thoughts and emotions. I just can't see how God could have meant it to be that way, especially in light of Matthew 11:28-30 and 1 John 5:3.

Ahmen Rocketman. It is incredible how it takes over your life. Not only takes it over, but takes over every facet of it.
Never enough studying, eh?

"the religion is too demanding". AMEN.....I find that the more I vocalize what is expected from the Society, the easier it is for me to see the stupidity of it all.
