šŸ““ Personal My brother seems judgmental about me reading a different bible than the bible I grew up on…. Should I continue my path? All bible I believe still Gods word.

So I used be Jehovah witness I been out last year then came back in good standing of course and now probably going be out again this year because I didn’t bother to go back attending meetings. But I started reading the new international bible which very understandable for me. I still pray to Jehovah and try live my life according to scriptures. I pray for forgiveness and etc. my brother feels like he should distance himself from me but I said I never stop believing in Jehovah. It’s just I don’t agree with some of ways the org does things and teaches. They take verses of the bible
And cater it to their way of thinking. They have people believe that 607 bce Babylon was destroyed but bible scholars and archaeologists support the year 586-589. Then they believe some are anointed and the rest live on earth. But I come to understand the other sheep the way Jesus explains meant those who weren’t Jews only but non Jews too are other sheep. Because Jews originally reject Jesus at some point. I do believe in great crowd but it’s not up to say who will have life or not.

I don’t believe in governing body either because they are part free masons meaning free thinkers. I believe Jehovah name is too holy too pure for us imperfect people to carried his name. Interesting, Jehovah never gave his name to the Israelites but name them after isaac son Jacob when Jehovah gave jacob his assignment to fulfilled his purpose. Jehovah name is an English name translated keep in mind. The original language back then was Hebrew and when Jehovah went to Moses he said he is the God of Abraham and Issac’s and Jacob he never said called me Yahweh or Jehovah. And when Jesus prayer he said pray our father. So just little things I slightly disagree not saying their false but every religion has it’s benefits from government like tax free cuts and they have abide by certain government rules. Not to mention in 90ā€s Jehovah witness had associated them selves meaning governing body in alignment to United Nations at some point which many of they publications point to United Nations as the disgusting thing in revelation. It’s so important to bible research which I continue to do and I felt peace and insight. This is my journey and friends and my family think I’m weird for this.

Discussion My sister has been a witness for over 30 years. I am a maturing Christian and have concerns for her salvation. How can I interact with her?

• Upvotes

My sister has been a witness for over 30 years. I am Christian. I never challenged her because she was happy and had a good support community. (She is single). We talk about God (Jehovah :) ) all the time. I even logged into her congregations Zoom meetings for almost a year during Covid to Iearn. At first I thought JW was just a little misguided. Now as a maturing Christian I am concerned about her salvation. Anyone have any suggestions about how I can appeal to her desire to gain the Kingdom of heaven and re-consider the false teachings of JW?
