I felt shocked & lied too...blinded, upset & then soon felt a huge relief that I was no longer subjected to bondage to an organization & felt happy about not going to service... Also I felt that heavy load you felt like you don't do enough & will die at Armageddon GONE.. life feels lighter & free....
It first came about with seeing the yahoo article trending of the australia Royal commision of child sex abuse, I looked up the videos on YouTube & came across a couple who left JW, they mention false prophecies & they brought up the part of WT being a UN member, that was the beginning....Those 2 were major discoveries for me, because immediately I knew at that moment we are the same as other false religions if true....compromising their neutrality is very hypocritical....
Until recently I discovered also how the followers of Johannes Gerber & his spiritist wife claim that Jehovah's Witnesses champion their bible translation... that was shocking & it disgusted me that they would go that far to fit their doctrines when they did something that GOD detests... the NWT being soo flawed, I refuse to use it after discovering that....
