Omega1,
Greetings,
First off I would like to point out that I cannot stress hard enough that you should really give serious thought before you jump right in. Most of the people on this site have been JW's before, we know what it's like, we know how it works. Yeah, maybe at first what you read in the Knowledge book sounds great! But there's a differenve between those just reading the book, and full fledge JW's. The rules change. Without notice. Most of the rules you don't learn till you screw up.
Books can and have been written (including the bible itself) that prove most of the Watchtower society wrong in many of its teachings, most of the books that prove them wrong are their own books. Ask anyone on this site, they can tell you. Remember the old saying "All that glitters is not gold."
Jehovah is a great and loving God, full of infinite wisdom, and his love is overflowing. He would love nothing more I'm sure than for you to learn the truth about him and what he holds for you. But you do not need the Watchtower society or any other organization to tell you, he is quite capable of that himself. As it is, much information from him has been released explaining much more about what's going on these days, and what he holds in store, and what kind of knowledge he has for you. And you don't even have to go to a KH to learn it! Once Jehovah opens your heart and your mind, the scriptures will tell you all you need to know.
As it is the Watchtower Society is in a great darkness right now as they can't even make a doctrine that is sturdy anymore, in fact it seems with every Watchtower magazine released anymore, a subject gets started on the board proving everything that was said wrong. The WTS has once that I know of even borrowed info FROM THIS BOARD and used it as their "Light" to give to the "sheep" (after turning it around of course). And even more recently with their "New Light" on Jesus' execution day, stating a day that was impossible by any standards. They get worse and worse everyday. Why? Cause they are in spiritual darkness, (Rev 16:10, 8:12, Joel 2:2).
However Jehovah is an everlasting light, and I'm sure you would agree, the best source for information :-)
If you are interested in knowing more or talking about things, just email me at [email protected]
I will be more than willing to answer any and all questions.
In Jehovah's everlasting love,
Jason
