So it looks like
about half of my JW relatives are not going back to the meetings once
they open up the Kingdom halls.
The main reason all
of them give is that if we were truly living in the last days,
Jehovah would not have allowed the door to door preaching work, and
Kingdom Hall meetings to STOP for over a year.
The elders have
talked to some of them and tried to convince them that letter writing
is accomplishing the same thing as door to door, and Zoom is the same
as meetings-----------but my relatives just won’t buy it anymore.
Just a note here, at
first, the Kingdom Hall lock-downs, and the No preaching door to door
was not that bad,the relatives still held on to their faith strongly
because they believed it was temporary. But after several months with no
end in sight, they were so confused and depressed, they went on the
internet LOOKING FOR ANSWERS, because the elders and the branch had
no answers.
All of them
ACCIDENTALLY found out several things like 607 not being the real
date Jerusalem fell, Child abuse in the organization, and a lot of
other things.
And they were pissed
off, but it wasn’t the end of the world.
But then, it dawn on
them what that meant.
The WORST THING OF
ALL is----Finding out that there is not going to be a God of Justice
that is going to step in and make all things right.
Like resurrect those
millions of innocent mothers, fathers, children, young couples that
were gassed in concentration camps during the Nazi regime.
Like resurrect the
millions of people who have been burned alive, thrown into the Roman
games to be eaten by lions, torn apart by hyenas, beautiful young
girls force to be raped before they reach puberty.
Like getting rid of
all the evil people in the world who have trafficked, murdered, raped, other human beings.
Like giving children
who died early of cancer or birth defects, another chance of the real
life.
Being shocked that there is going to be NO resurrection
for your parents, children, wife or husband that has died. The idea that You’ll never
see them again is unbearable.
The feeling of being Deeply Sadden that,we
will NEVER BE ALIVE AGAIN, just like we were not alive for billions
and billions of years.
This is the only
thing that I just can’t help my relatives with. There is nothing I can
say to comfort them. And now most of them have done the research on
the Bible and know it’s not God’s inspired Word. So they found out all on their own, without any help from me, that the paradise earth hope was just a story made up by some ancient people, and then the story was deified and made true by others wanting it to be true so badly. .
Do you ever look
back, ----and LAMENT--------to those days BEFORE you started seeing
the hypocrisy,
before you started
questioning the Organization.
When you really believed With all your heart and soul that it was TRUE!
before you found out
“Things” on the internet,
When you still had
that feeling and Belief of complete security, that One Day Jehovah
was going to come down and Set things straight, and remove all evil
persons from the earth, and resurrect all those people that deserved
a second chance, including the people you’ve love and lost.
And the feeling that
if by some chance you died, -----You Would Eventually be Back in a
Better World.
That’s what
messing up my jw relatives that are waking up.
