I am having trouble believing in God...
by thedepressedsoul ini was raised a jw and i am still one but recently i have been having trouble believing in a god.
this is not meant to offend anyone who does, i am just curious to see if i am the only one who thinks this..... to start, i am a very black and white person.
if 1+1=2 it makes sense to me and i can agree with it.

1. God has to appeal to the senses he made man with. Seeing- in this case in it's simplest form "seeing is believing" so how would we know how God came into mans life without having it written down while at the same time guiding it with real-time events. Sure there can be many things to blame God for but not this one.
The bible teach that God has given us the "gift" of everlasting life- of course it's conditional- "not the hope" of everlasting life-but the actual intangible thing. Humans are hardheaded and stubborned due to sin nature- so all God is asking for is for us to show him how much we appreciate it especially since we could never earn it. He wants our hearts, mind and strength.
2. Translations are not Gods fault- remember he gave it to us in hebrew/aramaic and greek. So when reading the scriptures get an online hebrew to english and greek to english. while this is not perfect -it will get you into the ballpark. it would also help to learn a little about the culture by which the folks of the bible lived.
3. What did Jesus teach. what counts is what Jesus said- he is the closes thing to God himself. I don't care if many believe that he is God-maybe he is maybe he's not- but study deeply all the words of Jesus. Once you do that then you can filter out all the junk that came about after his death.
hope this at least get you thinking in the direction that it's not YHWH (GODs) fault at all.

Will you make SACRIFICES for the kingdom? WT
by bruh2012 inpar 10 - "significant funds are needed to support kingdom activities.
each year tens of millions of dollars are spent caring for the expenses of traveling overseers, special pioneers and missionaries".. so the gb wants you to support their "kingdom interest", but can care less about the local congregation pioneers who for some struggle to make ends meet, who use their gas driving all around the territory putting wear and tear on their cars sometimes not getting gas money to take care of their expenses, let alone any repairs needed.
talking about highway robbery!.

1,000 Year Reign- Is that in human years or GOD's ?
by bruh2012 inrevelation book says a 1,000 years.
doesnt sound symbolic, however since a 1,000 (human) years to us is 1 day to god, any proof that the 1,000 year reign will actually be 1,000 human years and not 1,000 god years?

How will we know WHEN and WHO YHWH speaks before the END?
by bruh2012 ingod (yhwh) has always "come down" and spoke to man before he intervene in humanity.. i know things got changed up with the start of christianity and the congregation ( book of acts), but putting the fds theory aside, wouldnt you think he would speak out to someone to take the lead spreading a message before armaggedon strike?.

He is a good example of GOOD and BAD let alone David being the MAIN link in the chain to Jesus

Meeting Today
by lambsbottom inme and the spouse looked over the wt and decided it wouldn't be in our best spiritual interest to stay for the wt (we usually don't anymore).. so, took the kids to the public talk (was actually great, nice brother), took them outside for a snack and snuggled/played...and then left (an hour early).. .
felt great!
gotta do what you know is best for you spiritually!

Searcher- its great your wife picked up on that tidbit-
Makes me wonder sometime how many people on average in the congregation is slowly losing trust of WT bible interpentation by their own silent critical thinking! if that makes any sense!!! LOL

by Brainfloss inmatthew 28:18-20 states.
...18and jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "all authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19"go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that i commanded you; and lo, i am with you always, even to the end of the age.. what are all of the things jesus commanded?.

JW teach to do more do more do more do more - Jesus was about understanding how to love our heavenly father and exercising faith along with reconizing the true meaning behind spirituality- where as JW say spirituality is about going to the hall and being in service.
