Welcome to Faith Outside The Watchtower, a safe space for those navigating the complexities of faith and doubt within the Jehovah's Witness community. After spending 36 years, born/raised 4th generation Jehovah's Witness, I experienced a profound shift in my life following a traumatic event. My journey led me through 22 more years of believing I had deserted God & He didn't care, ultimately leading to a very deep depression. After an unexpected recovery from overwhelming sadness and still not sure where my faith stood, I decided I needed to pray and ask God to please help me find His truth. If it were an organization, I would return. What I found was His word alone, the Bible!
The Bible alone is where truth can be found. It's not within an organization at all.
Ultimately prompting me to question the very foundation of everything I thought was true.

For those of us who weren’t trafficked but still carried the silent weight of CSA and believed we were alone…🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💔💔💔❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
It is so hard to accept that the organization we once trusted could be connected to this kind of harm, again and again. Court records are real these are just a few. 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Praying for the children. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I found this discussion about AI fascinating.
One thing I've noticed is that AI often reflects the assumptions built into the question. If we ask, "Why is my religion the truth?" we'll usually get an answer that supports that premise. If we ask, "What are the strongest arguments for and against this belief?" we get a much more balanced picture.
That isn't unique to Jehovah's Witnesses; it applies to all of us. It's a reminder that how we ask questions matters.
The Bible encourages us to "test everything; hold fast what is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21) and to examine the Scriptures carefully (Acts 17:11). Truth doesn't fear honest questions.
I'm sharing this because I know many of my JW loved ones use AI. Whatever conclusions we reach, let's make sure we're asking questions that genuinely seek truth rather than only confirming what we already believe.
Much luv,
Lorie

I really hoped to have this finished tonight. I’ve been editing for over 13 hours trying to bring the next few stories together in a way that’s clear and thoughtful… and I’m simply exhausted.
I care too much about this content to rush it.
I hope to finish in the morning (Tuesday) and post.
Thank you for your patience and for walking through this with me.
Much luv,
Lorie
