You will find it helpful to involve a brother or sister with technical experience and an understanding of what is presented below.

Do they mean a brother with an education?

Losing Faith in Faith..

by Dis-Member in

i came across this lecture at 3am not being able to sleep by dan baker.

it details his transition from christian fundamentalist to atheist and the various shades in-between.

he realises that every denomination of christian can open the bible and prove to you that they have the right interpretation and everyone else is wrong.

It's a little different when you see it for yourself. But you realize that it's mostly mental, psychosomatic. They could have made these changes on their own if they only believed in themselves. I could make the change if only I believed in myself.

Not off topic at all. I think the same. I too made drastic and vast changes to my lifestyle behaviour and personality. But I'm thinking now I could just as well have done all that on my own. I also wonder did I really actually do it for God? Or did I do it to gain love and approval from members of the congregation and elders etc. Peer pressure and the desire to conform can be incredibly powerful motivational forces.

I guess if one steps away from the pressure and need to please one will see what's really left.

Balancing the Mix of Healthy Spiritual Teachings and Questionable Doctrines as JW

by ProfCNJ in

if you are a current or active jw, you cannot help but feel you are in a bind.

while you have discovered the truth about the truth and has continuously researched on it, you cannot help also but to regard the fellowship inside, add perhaps those encouraging teachings which build up faith and spirituality.. the reality is you cannot just turn a blind eye on the goodness in the organization too or shall we say some of its members who are also standing by you.

somehow, you felt the fds food is helping you in a spiritual sense.

Come to think of it even disfellowshipped people are 'related to you in the faith'. So you must love them too, if not more so.
