Worst decision I made this year was joining Jehovah Witnesses. I'm not saying they are not good people ooooo, but kinda of a strange way of life. I started going this year February, still yet I don't feel belong. Those people that claim love and support in Jehovah witness are just overreacting. Nothing like that. They hardly relate with each other. I noticed their support are limited to those baptized in the congregation.

Their lives are like just there. Nothing exciting more like sadist. I decided to give church a chance this year, but mistakenly choose Jehovah Witnesses. If I have choosing other praise and worship church, I know things would have been different.

I look are the earliers children, and I know they ain't happy doing that house to house stuff.

Worse decision ever
Wow. You are not alone o. You went and joined the worst So called Christian denomination. Lol.

What caught my attention in your comment is when you said You don't feel you belong there. Take that feeling seriously because so many of them there are like you who also feel that they don't belong there but they can't leave. I was once a JW. I left that Cult years ago. You feeling you don't belong there is actually the Holy Spirit signaling to you that You are in the wrong place, with the wrong people. You are not supposed to be there. Jehovah's witness is a Cult masquerading as a Christian religion. Let me guess why you got attracted to that Cult. You saw their outward appearance and felt that they are Christ like or live like true Christians. The false image they crafted to you, You fell for it. After you joined, you started to see their true colors. That is not a new thing. There are many like you who noticed the same and you will find their experiences on EXJW Reddit Forum. You can visit that forum to see people like you who are still trapped in that Cult because of Family.

I was born into that Cult and I never felt I belonged there as well. How they do their things, their culture, their doctrines never sat right with me. Jehovah's witnesses are very strange people because the religion is a Cult. It took me years to understand that the Holy Spirit has been warning me since my Teens that I was born in the wrong religion. Take your feelings seriously. Don't ignore it. Listen to the Holy Spirit and act now. It is not too late to leave that Cult. Once you leave, calm down and slowly decide the church to attend. A Bible believing Church. A Christian denomination. Not a Cult. Don't rush it. Are you still attending their meetings? Are you baptized? It would have been easier for you if you weren't baptized. That way, you can leave. Do you have family in this Cult?

Thanks for your response. Truly appreciated. I just recently came across other former Jehovah's witnesses on quora. Terrible experiences. Just imagine, most of their doctrines are from 4 white individuals from New York - The so called Government Body. I wasn't baptized. I was into the step to baptism....I got ill, then my life flashes in front of me....I noticed how I could have missed a lot not living life....not doing way I needed to do.... enough impact. I was in chapter 24 of Enjoy Life, lol.

I thank God for the experience. I learned a lot for strange secrets that I can't mention here. That religion is one hell of a mental trap...not to talk of their weird arrangement marriages....most of their couples don't look happy together. I know of one that fights secretly with each other but laugh publicly. The wives seems to be in control of the husbands. Women are not meet to do any work of preaching.

Bebtel is like paradise for them.... conventions is like Christmas

Very good. Your eyes are really open. At least, at the stage you are in right now, yet to be baptized, your eyes are still open and their brainwashing has not gone deep into your Mind, body and Soul. Now that you are yet to be baptized, this is the right time to make an informed decision to leave that Cult and even do thorough research on it because once you get baptized, it is over for you. You won't be allowed to do any research. It is a Sin to disagree with the Cult and Leave. Once you say you want to leave, all the so called friends you made there will now see you as their enemy worse than Satan. Many people have no idea what they are getting into once they agree for JWs to come preach to them. Once you accept them into your Home, you have accepted to be brainwashed because their Bible Study is a Brainwashing session.

I am glad you have seen things for yourself before getting too deep into that Cult. You have the freedom to do research on this religion now. Once you are baptized, that is forbidden. You can now testify to see the hypocrisy in that Cult. Your observations about their marriages is a fact. Their marriages are an eye sore. They don't like themselves. You will rarely see a couple that truly love each other there because they don't date. They believe as long as one is attending their Kingdom hall, the person is baptized, therefore that person will make a good husband or wife. They just meet and marry sharp sharp. Yet, their marriages are filled with serious problems. Their Men are promiscuous and domestically violent. Their Men are also lazy which is why it is common now for them to target JW ladies from Rich homes. Typical Gold diggers. That's why you felt as if their wives are controlling. But the truth is their Men are also the same. During my time there, I saw more of controlling JW Men than women.

As for their Leaders in New York, I think they are now up to 10 Governing body members, all of which are White Men with only one black man. Those Men are confused people with their changing Doctrines that show they never get things right. Did your JW teachers give you their Bible? Don't collect it. Their Bible is tainted and twisted with changes of words to suit their doctrines. You must have heard about this. You can go through the thread below that I created to mention all the Bible verses they manipulated.

https://www.nairaland.com/8088472/manipulation-bible-verses-jehovahs-witness

Their doctrines, are you comfortable with them? Especially their No Blood transfusion, their doctrine of Jesus being Angel Michael, Jesus not being the Mediator, and numerous other disturbing doctrines. It is important that you pay attention to their doctrines and investigate them with your Bible. Not with their Bible. Investigate how they formed their Doctrines. If you know how they form their doctrines, you will stay far away from that religion.
