need Help! not sure what to do.

by confuuused in

hi all, hope that someone can help!

i was recently studying with the jw's and i'm just not sure on what to do.. i feel guilty because i canceled study for the time being.

i just have so many questions.

jw

They say if I become jw then I would

have to stay away from my family because they are not of the "JW's world".

DON"T DO IT> GODS SAYS FAMILY FIRST.

I asked about my

kids (ages 16 & 17) because they now live with their father. I was told because they do not live

in the same house as I do the same would apply to them. Am I wrong in thinking that this is

just not right.

DO NOT LISTEN TO HUMANS LISTEN TO WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY ON THE MATTER.

That because someone does not have the same beliefs as I do that they should

be shunned?

JESUS WALKED AMONG EVIL DOERS and had dinner with them, he just did not socialize with them . And he only did because they had a listening ear to GODS word. AND JESUS SHUNNED NO ONE.

I was raised to love all no matter their religion or what they have done.

YES, HATE THE DEED NOT THE PERSON.

That you should help others come to Christ not avoid them because they are not of your world.

WHAT they meant was not to hang out with evil doers because you will become like them. But that does not mean to ignore or shunn them. How else are they to become believers?

Please help was I taught wrong or am I thinking the right way,that jw's teachings of shunning people

is wrong. It is wrong.

i rented a house in the late !970's and the contents in the home were given to me.. it happened to be books: ( making my life happy, revelation, children bible stories, listening to the great teacher ) i was enjoying the reading.. -----------------------------------.

a few years later began to notice awake magazines in doctor offices, and other public places and read them and enjoyed them.. ------------------------------------.

Then why do you rely on the Watchtower for salavation. When as this scripture says its the bread of heaven that gives life. I Don't.

Have you used the Greek Interlinear you quote to see how the New World Translation is not correct.

Yes

First of all I am new here.

Why should I trust anyone here with my private info.

Especially since being here all I get is hateful replys, ridicule, insults,well, you should get the point.

And I don't trust anyone anyway.

JW

You don't tell us much do you? Of course not. I don't know you. Why should I trust you.

Where were you baptised? private info!

What do you think of the 1914 date? I know the Jw organization made a mistake based on biblical scriptures.

The false prophecies of the Watchtower in years past? They should not be making any prophesies.

Do you know the changes in teachings through the years? Yes

The Watchtowers involvement with the United Nations? Yes

The paedophile scandals? Aware

I know the history of the bible , I have done tons of research independent of the JW congregatin as directed by the scriptures.

You haven't found anything about how biblical passages were edited by several people with specific agendas? About contradictions that belie it being without error? Click here: Hebrew Bible in English / Mechon-Mamre Click here: Search for 'John 6:63' in the Greek/English Interlinear (tr) NT version Nothing that has made you wonder its claim to divine inspiration? nope

One thing I don't understand is why you defend their faith, The faith of the Jw Organization is real. As the Apostles errored so Do the humans running the JW organization. It needs to be made Right but in Gods way not mans! I do not imply that mankind not act , but they need to act in GODS way. yet you don't live according to it. OH BUT I DO! IN REFERENCE TO MEETINGS> FAMILY COMES FIRST.

So do you think that the jws are really teaching you alot about the bible?

Only to a certain level of responsibilty then it is my responsibility .

If you do, then think again. I suggest you go to your local library and see if you can find something like the Cambridge History of the Bible.

I know the history of the bible , I have done tons of research independent of the JW congregatin as directed by the scriptures.
