Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely—be content with your pay.”

On my previous post, let me clarify that I understand that being raised in the 'truth' is different.
We all give our parents the 'benefit of the doubt' and believe many things because we trust their honesty and integrity. That is a given.
But, if you were converted from what ever faith was your previous, and you fell for the 'millions living now will never die'. I dunno? A not nice selfish thought, and not very likely, historically speaking, to say the least

Thinking that you won't taste death?
Crazy, just plain crazy. Beyond being duped , it's a total disconnect with reality.

My latest letter to WT demanding correction from their side
by Kosonen inbrothers and sisters associated with the watchtower society may 9, 2020. i have tried to inform you of the necessary adjustments you ought to take in order to truly be in the truth.
but my efforts have remained fruitless.
you well know the biblical procedure.

It seems all this mental energy could be made of better use..... Have you considered applying your intellectual acuities to something truly meaningful and constructive?
I agree with the better use of your mental energy. Jesus never said that we should use the bible as our guide to Christianity or life or anything like that. He did say "Do ALL that I have commanded you and I will be with you until the end of the age"
I don't think that you have realized that you have put all of your faith into someone else's interpretation of a Catholic book.
Make no mistake, the bible is a Catholic book compiled, propagated and protected by them. Somebody sold you on the idea that they knew a better interpretation then the people who gave it to the world. Of course, this type of thinking is at odds with basic common sense. The people who gave the world the bible would know better than a random group of unguided readers. That is why the WTS has a fluid interpretation of the scriptures that changes whenever they change leadership. Think about it.
The bible is not and never was a guide to Christianity, it is a tool used to instruct and correct moral questions and was/is used in the Catholic liturgy. Perhaps some serious studies into accredited historical sources would serve you with real truth instead of the corrupted truth that you have been taught. Tough pill to swallow I know. but...

When do the 2300 days begin?
by Kosonen inwhen to begin the countdown of the 2300 days?
to get an idea, it could be helpful to discern when those days end relative to time times and half a time.. i see a possibility that the 2300 days end the same day as the 1260 days.
that is because the woman in revelation 12 will be fed 1260 days.

I would say this to Kosonen and any other protestant.
The idea that you [or anyone else] would know the hour, the day, the month or even the effin year is ludicrous.
Every generation ever [even before Jesus] thought that they would witness the apocalypse. .
EVERYONE WHO EVER LIVED, ended up dead.
EVERYONE WHO EVER LIVED WILL DIE!
ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT THEY WILL NOT DIE IS DELUSIONAL.THAT IS THE "TRUTH"

For 30+ years I have reasoned with my brother about the errors of the WTS policies.
Biblical contradictions to the WTS ever changing theology. The whole 'Lying for the Truth'tm thing..aka theocratic warfare.
His reasoning ALWAYS came back to a circular argument which totally deflected what ever issue was being discussed and brought up another point of contention.
Dismantle that point and another is brought up without an acknowledgement of the initial 2 or three points which had been proven false.
You will not reach them without first letting them figure it out on their own first.
You cannot control their decisions, but you can always ask God through prayer and that is never a wasted effort IMsomewhatHO

When I look closely at the WTS, I do not see any fruits at all. Only the tedious works and hardships that some of my family must endure without the benefit of fruits. Works that are, in my opinion, not blessed by the Lord, that's why there's no fruit.....

What makes you think Jehovah created this?
Couldn't it have been from people making bad health decisions?
And Jehovah allows people to make poor decisions, doesn't he?

Sister Not Sure If She Is 144 000 or Great Crowd
by Awake at last ini haven’t posted here for years as i have now moved on and am satisfied with the choice i have made to leave watchtower.
however in light of the coronavirus and people in australia and other countries being asked to stay at home i became concerned for a witness sister who lives in melbourne alone who is 88 years old.
today i gave her a call as i don’t trust the local witnesses to care for her.

It's great that you have even reached out to this lonely elderly woman. Just giving her your time is showing great love. If you trust in God [and his mercy, forgiveness, etc]. then it is totally ok and appropriate to share that hope with her. If not, share what you have and that's good too.
