What to Do....Please Help. Awakening JW for a very long time

by CovertsadJW in

good afternoon , .

i have been having doubts for many years and as most jw's i have certainly not done myself a favor by suppressing all of my critical thinking.

i am married with 3 kids and my wife and i are inactive, but my wife has made it very clear in speech and action that she wants to go to all meetings, field service, and indoctrinate our kids.

Crazyguy

I don’t know how old your kids are but in my personal experience if you don’t go you become and outcast. The cult makes sure a plants seeds in your kids minds that your not a good person and have left Jehovah. I have not gone to a meeting now in about 5 years and if I had todo it over again. I would of done it one of two ways. Divorce the wife and then set up a situation that the kids with me would be told how I feel and given opportunities while under my part time custody to see and learn a real world alternative.

Option two if you don’t want to divorce is go with the kids and wife to meetings and start studying with them as soon as you can an introduce scriptures and ideas from the Bible that will in time make them realize there’s a problem. One can also study the history of the cult and show them their false teachings and prophecies again poking holes in their credibility.

It also important that they your kids are offered as many opportunities out side of the KH as possible. Public school , after school sports , music etc. Make them read and open up as much alternative learning as possible then encourage I mean demand the kids go to college.

i have been meeting with member's of the kingdom hall, and i have attended a few times now on sundays.

i'd like to discuss experiences with this group since i'm new.

so far, i love it.

Crazyguy

I would highly suggest you research the group it’s past and what the ex members have to say. This is a good place for it as well as Reddit. Do your do diligence because once you get baptized if you change your mind and leave you’ll not be treated well at all!

Could it be that Tony is the most conceited little prick the cult has had since Rutherford?

May I ask for help about Egyptian chronology and Neolithic settlements?

one of the first things that shook my faith as a teenager was learning about egypt and how its history goes back as far as 3500 bc, much earlier than the flood.

also learning about the first settlements like çatalhöyük, which flourished around 7500 bc, much earlier than the creation of adam.

the only answer i got from my mother was that this world is dominated by satan and thus we cannot trust in worldly chronologies.

According to the WT the flood took place during the reign of the Pharaoh Unas. Unas built a pyramid and somehow it like most of the other pyramids survived the flood. What’s also weird is Unas daughter married the next Pharaoh, so some how she and her husband must of stowed away on the Ark.

References to YHWH in ancient documents

2017 provides an image that shows hebrew writing with the statement: “the personal name of god written in ancient hebrew characters appears abundantly in early manuscripts of the bible”.. alongside that image, the awake!

provides a listing to show “the rendering of ‘god’s name’ in various languages”.. the facts do not support either assertion that the watchtower society makes:.

I definitely think The zodiac has something todo with these writtings and maybe some code in them. We see that plainly in Ezekiel chapter 1 verse 10 where he’s describing the chariot of god and it’s clearly the 4 cardinal points of the zodiac at that time.

One question I’ve pondered recently is why did a Greek ruler supposedly get 72 Jewish scholars to gather together and translate writings supposedly Jewish writings in to the Septuagint? Doesn’t really make sense unless it had something to do with a bigger issue.

There’s the Turin kings list as well as lists of kings found on Egyptian temple walls that help to destroy the JW argument. It’s true some of the places and things in Egypt may not be accurately dated such as The Sphinx and maybe even the great pyramids at Egypt as well as the osirian temple. There however many temples and pyramids that have been dated to dates and kings that show the mistakes of the JWs. Just look at the dates of the flood according to the JWs at about 2370 and then look at what egyptologists show as who the king was and what pyramid he was building.

The other thing to take into consideration is Egyptologists show who was ruling at the time and what cities were built and temples etc all the way down in to the Roman era. So with this being said the JWs only real argument is that these older kings and thier building projects must have happened somewhere in time during the rule of another king. So an example would have to be while Ramses was off fighting the Hittites another Pharaoh rose to power had the people quickly biuld a temple and a pyramid and then disappeared into the mist before Ramses returned. This must of happened quite a lot .

What I found interesting is the letters YHWH were inserted into the places where the original word Lord was in the Greek text. I always thought the word lord was put in to the place were Adoni was used. If I’m correct its where the word El is used that became Adoni and the word Baal was used becomes YHWH.

Anyway if we could find the original text somewhere I’m willing to bet that the gods Baal Hadad and El, names would be where we now see the word Jehovah used in the Bible but that also the gods Marduk, AmunRA, Enki, Enlil, Anu, Osiris these names would also be at times where we see the name Jehovah.
