Observations

The last few posts on this blog by Sidgi and myself, did not contain any material regarding the WTBTS other than reference to their part in our lives and the lives of others. The focus of our individual monographs in brief, touched on searching for the true God and forsaking man made institutions that claim to be Gods organization on earth today.

If you are regularly surfing the internet looking for WTBTS material and info, Im sure you will find a plethora of sites dealing with the wrongness of the treatment people received, and the falseness of the message the GB deal out to the congregations. This site has many articles that explain clearly the diversity of their writings with the truth of the bibles message.

In the more than 14 years that I have been working on the internet, Ive seen JW sites become ex JW sites and the members move around the different chat forums that spring up. The names are familiar to me from years ago. I see VERY FEW who actually have moved on from the pain of the association with JWS and sought out the real God.

Yes, I see many who became unbelievers, atheists, and humanists. Ive seen a few become “born again ” christians and a few who no longer are around due to suicide.

I do not see many, I do not actually see few who seek out the true God.

The bottom line is: when does the hurt stop? When does the individual let go and accept that the WTBTS is yet another organization designed and operated by men without direction from God?  When does a person decide to ask God for help and seek him out?

If you are ex JW, accept that the WTBTS lied to you about its role in Gods plan and in your life. Let it go. Dont have any lingering doubts about its validity. There is none.

I learned many valuable things from the organization. How to study, how to pray, how to view this world, that God has a name and its not Jesus, there is no place of eternal torment, etc. The trade off was my expected allegiance to the FDS. It didnt happen precisely because I applied the training I had in study, and found I wasnt able to follow the man made requirements.

Im alone. I have no congregation, no body of people on whom I can converse with regarding the Bible as it has explained itself to me via hard personal study. The ups and downs of life affect me as it does millions of Americans daily. I feel no special bond or communication channels with God when I pray.

So what does life after the WTBTS actually comprise of? Well, The Bible gives clear instruction to seek out God and in doing so he will draw close to us. That means study, reflection, molding our lives into the manner in which the Bible gives direction. It means walking in faith, doing certain things not because we feel directed by the Holy Spirit to do so, but rather because it is the RIGHT thing to do as God desires. I cant say with certainty when I ever felt compelled to take a course of action by Gods personal intervention in my life, but I can say retrospectively, things worked out for the best in certain situations BECAUSE I faithfully attempted to do what I knew was the God approved course of action.

So. If we are in the days of Jesus presence occurring soon, isnt it time that you looked passed the hurt and the pain and sought out the face of your creator?
