70What made you stay "in" even when you knew it wasn't the "truth"?
by mentalclarity inso i've been thinking a lot about why i stayed a jw for so long even though i had always had doubts about the doctrines.
i was born into the religion, left and came back as an adult for another decade.
some of the things that come to mind (besides the threat of shunning-and this isn't to minimize that very real threat) was:.

Watchtower Study June 18 from April 2017 issue
by BluesBrother inhttps://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2017/judge-of-all-earth-always-does-what-is-right/.
the judge of all the earth always does what is right.
intended as a confidence builder in the organization ..see what you think.. theme is from deuteronomy but it is really highlighting that passage in genesis where abraham had a dialogue with god, (gen.18) would god destroy sodom if 50 righteous men would perish?

I hope justice will be done to all the wrongdoers in the wt leadership. for the abuses they dished out.
justice like the 10 vengeful brothers of Joseph received when they had to come crawling back to him begging to be able to buy for food.
many here fall into that Joseph category . would love to see the gory scene when wt will eat crow.

Nowhere is mentioned that those in higher position will have "a more severe judgement", or that they are in effect "judging themselves", and that Jehovah said : "vengeance is mine"
The Wt org equates itself with "jehovah" so, wait on it. of course we will be waiting for a long time, for the wolves among the sheep act with impunity for they expect their god to be as absent as he was in 1914, 1925, 19175.
added: In the story of Joseph they fail to mention that it was because of his whistleblowing, exposing the wrongdoing of his brothers that he was nearly killed and expelled by them. sounds familiar?

If you were a J.W. before July 2013..................
by The Searcher in....................then you couldn't have been "in the truth" nor was "the truth in you" until july 2013, because that month's watchtower was dedicated to reversing the following 8 "truths" and replacing them with opposing "truths".
you'd been believing and teaching falsehoods.. these are for any new members and those j.w.
's who visit here who have not seen this list before.

1) in my early days, prediction was that the Gt started in 1914, was interrupted (GT interruptus) and would resume at Armageddon***, now overlappingly postponed possibly to 2075. ***
to allow the GC of OS to come "out" of, and not "survive"the GT as they teach wrongly now.
Why did wt not predict the overlap then? could have saved us so much grief. They can not even predict their own doings never mind "god's"

pregnant girls usually give birth away from home, is that why they invented the taxation story? "have to go to pay my taxes!", all the way from Galilee to Bethlehem? Prime travel season too.

the time remaining is "Satan.s" he knows his time remaining is short (starting the countdown in 1914, at his ouster) but he will not die until after the 1000 years are ended. so, relax.

had he lived later, his name would have been Jesus Middleman Fischbein, because his family was poor, not Goldberg for the rich. (he would not have been allowed to be a carpenter guild member either) condemned to go into banking, merchandising or be in another intermediary profession.
