I was wondering about this because I have been telling people I left the Organization because of all the anti-Christian teachings and revelations of late, such as:
- · Hypocritically joining the United Nations even though they teach that all supporters of the U.N. will be destroyed;
- · Harboring child abusers – Ps. 50:16-18
- · Going “beyond what is written” by forbidding higher education even such knowledge results in better us of the brains God gave us
- · Promoting the worship of the Governing Body over God and Christ even though that is idolatry
- · Sustained Hitlerian opposition to gays in the congregation, something Christ never taught, et al
But after reviewing the teachings from the time of Russell and Rutherford such as the use of the cross, the celebration of holidays, helping the war effort, the mystic use of pyramids, all things that the organization now condemns, I wonder, did the Witnesses EVER have the so-called truth? How stupid was I?
Did I go along with all these lies because I was indoctrinated as a teenager? If that's the case, it's no wonder they don't want their members going to college to develop thinking ability.
