I actually see both sides of the coin here. I get Steve's point of view very nice. He also makes a very nice heartfelt appeal to the elders. I also see the elder's view. He is being questioned before the meeting in front of other people, knows others are watching and actually was honest - he doesn't care about the dates. He accepts the dates may be wrong, but he thinks it's the truth for other reasons. I will say though, love for God and man wasn't really demonstrated by anybody in this video. The elders, who are supposed to reflect God's love and that of Jesus, did not make much of an effort at all to find an amicable solution. All this being said, the video, the first and last names of the elders involved, and everything being published without their knowledge or consent is a bit too devious for me to overlook.

It’s like watching myself . I had a talk with a elder about some doctrinal topics like : the 2 hopes, the meaning of other sheep ( gentiles according to Paul ) anointed Christian’s and non anointed Christian’s , the new covenant only for the 144 k, Jesus invisible parousia . He said at the end of the conversation I will get back to you in this , we hugged and he left. It was really a nice , friendly and open conversation. A year later a got a letter . Unfortunately not a letter that answers my questions forms scripture , the topics are not even discussed. It only says that I was wrong ( not telling me why I was wrong ) And that I was becoming apostate and he don’t want to waste time on apostate thoughts . I was seeking only the negative in the organization and needed to come back to Jehovahs organization.

It's their corporation, and they can run it any way they want. Why do you go on knocking on their door? You have left them, and they have left you. Corporations are about creating scarcity so they can sell you their product. God is about abundance. "Come to me all you who toil, for my joke is kindly and my load is light". No dictatorship there, just love. In the last days they will say, here he is, or there he is. Do not go out to look, for when the son of man comes, it will be like the lightning that lights up the sky from one end to the other. What do JW's say? Come, Christ is here with us, we have the truth. Jesus says, no, they are lying.

The reason my parents had come to be JW's is that they had asked questions in which had been answered to their satisfaction. I'm a question asker as well and just as yourself, mine come from the heart to seek understanding and clarification, it certainly does NOT mean that I oppose in any manner, having legitimate questions should NOT ruffle any feathers, it should only cause the seeking of answers!

Jesus never treated anyone the way these elders are treating him and jesus never said you need to follow these steps to come back to the congregation and jesus never said i wont answer your questions because they are apostate questions . Leaving the organization is not leaving God its leaving a false man made organization. Jesus never spoke of an organization and He spoke the term jehovahs organization . They are not taught by jesus and jehovah . They are taught by men

That’s why I left. I asked two elders to show me from the Bible where it says we shouldn’t have sex before marriage. They showed me. Then I asked for them to show me in the Bible that Jehovah, Jesus, & The Holy Spirit are not a Trinity. They showed me some scriptures. Then I asked about 1914 and could they show me from the Bible that the faithful and discreet slave refers to the Governing Body. Then I was shut down and accused of apostasy. Smh

I can't understand why you would want back into that organization except for your family. Even then. Get saved and ask the Holy Spirit to come into your life and He will help you get your kids back. I don't know what you know about Jesus but He is standing waiting on your asking Him for help. There is so much wrong with this organization, that you, in order to be saved, need to go to Jesus, who is God in the flesh. Not a reincarnation of Michael the Archangel. Jesus is God and you must understand that. If you're not familiar with the Holy Spirit, He will help you straighten this mess out. Hell is real, Heaven is real, Jesus is real and he died for your sins on the cross, not a wooden stake. JW's that I know don't even talk like they are interested in going to heaven. You can. The 144,000 that Revelation talks about are Jews, not JW's. It's really sad about this cult.

They love to use that term. The Governing Body are imperfect men. That's an excuse to allow them to do what they are doing, instead of challenge them on truths. They and their printed materials and changed ever so often. Their so called truth. When will these people wake up.

Jesus is the truth. How they love associate themselves with truth, but so far from it. I think JW's really need to go back and re-read the Gospel account and do exactly 💯. They will see things clearly. They have created such a mess of themselves and this Organization. Too many man made directions and doctrines of men.

if you mean he got his list from Lloyd Evans then i hear your point, but even Lloyd Evans blocks you when you show him you have answers to those questions that WT ignores or doesnt want the defence the way our true God Jehovah wants a proper defemce to the one taunting him. It has awlways confused me why watctower doesnt want to worship jehovah but wants to worship many lies and tag it as Jehovah. They still have so many lies that are from Christendom (many about penis and about Nimrod; but science lies too like solstice). If youre perplexed at why those then understand i am from USA and fits were thrown on teh radio when i was ditched in Canada during an assembly. That same trip 1966 back when pagan triad Judicial Committee was an appointed position the insubordinate act on my part (age 9) was to tell him that over-size trie ratio 30mph =40mph is a 60mph =80mph not his claim it was 60mph =70mph. This is the unqualified power WT gave him, just as he had power 16 years later to give District talks in Chicago (3 per week, no other Bethel nor GB had that) while he fukt 2 women for 2 years and DFd 20 people 10 couples for adultery in Illinois. He lietrally verbally cursed me that my VHS video wasnt plugged in to record his talks for a sick anointed sister (Thelma Brown) to watch who said i dont give a damn about his talk i want to hear youtell me of everyone at the Hall how are they doing. Everyone KNOWS who i refer to. Now tell me that Jah was with him, not 5 year old Samuel or 9 year old me, and that Hannah should get her baby maybe from priest Eli and his two sons taking turns on her, while they steal the people's mutton.

Unless you are going to start your own religion and translate the Bible for yourself and print your own pamphlets and do all of the necessary things to start a religion and become one of the over 4,000 religions in the world. You should pick the one the appears to you to be most following the Bible. The Apostles who were with Jesus and personally taught by him still had questions and didn’t understand everything perfectly and that’s ok. That’s why faith is important.
