There were several that kept building.
1. The thought that kindhearted loving people were doomed because they didn't belong to a group.
2. Studying with a woman using her Bible and seeing the different words used in the NWT. Researching this endlessly.
3. Trying to explain to a fairly intelligent Bible study the 1914 doctrine and not believing it myself.
4. No logic to Jehovah's judgement. For example, living wild debauched life in the 1800s and having a chance for paradise while now having to live according to strict behavioral rules. I never bought the oh, but they will have more trouble reaching perfection. Huh? In a paradise earth where they get to see dead people come to life, I think it would be easier then.
5. Double standards aplenty. Talks by materially rich educated elders about giving up your life to pioneer.
