    I still believe in God

    Still believe his name is Jehovah or something like it.

    Still believe that Jesus is his son, and he isn't God almighty.

    Don't believe in the Trinity

    I believe in the resurrection

    I believe that most who resurrect will live on earth

    I believe in a 1000 year reign of Christ

    I believe that we can live eternally thanks to God

    But on the other hand, I don't want to be a JW because of their man made laws, that has nothing to do with what Jesus said, and their lack of love, and the way they control and treat their own followers.

    I'm just wondering why I still believe in so much of what the JW's teach, except for their false dates, and still I don't want to be one of them because their lack of love and justice ruins the good news of the Kingdom.

    Thanks Z

    Does this mean that you'll give me your car?

    I guess that since I didn't adopt any new beliefs, I kept the basics of my old ones.

    I'M not saying that I approve of all that they do....on the contrary, their man made laws, I don't believe in, like the blood doctrine and their shunning and so many others....

    Hi JH,

    I still believe like you.. except.. I have recently been thinking that the ressurection in the last day, has to do with people becoming enlightened. In Dan. 12:1 and on.. It talks about the ones sleeping in the dust, as awaking to everlasting life or to everlasting abhorrence.... Some will become like stars and lead many to righteousness. This appears to take place in the Great Trib. as the context points out. I'm not sure how the dead will come back.. Do you think they could be reincarnated? I've been wondering.

    I really think that the core beliefs of the WT, in Russell's day, are the things I was so attracted to, and not the endless rules and bossiness of the WT since Rutherford.

    To me, Charles Russell could have been a Faithful and Discreet Slave, but since he died, the WT is only the Evil slave.. What do you think???

    JH I also believe in all these things, for about 2 seconds and then I shake my head and snap out of it.

    I also wake up from a nightmare about demons and I believe in Satan and the demons - until I snap out of it.

    I put it down to brainwashing - all this stuff is still in my head 20 years on and nothing I can do will shake it out.

    To be honest I have no idea what I believe, my head is so screwed up I think I would find it very difficult to believe in anything although I'm quite keen on evolution.
