I'm in my middle 60's and a male. Been in the jw's since approx age 6. Had real doubts when the generation changed in 1995. I got to researching other things. I found out about Beth Sarim. I found out who Miller, Barbour and others were. Generation belief changed to overlapping and I started questioning everything because the explanation of overlapping was crazy in my estimation. The explanation of some scriptures was unbelievable. How could the num- ber 144,000 be literal and the whole chapter of Rev 14 be figurative? The more researching I did the more disappointed I became.
