Religious induced anxiety with depression

[Gjest Anonym bruker]

I am diagnosed with anxiety and mild depression due to threatening religious environment. I cannot understand the esoteric methods of the Watchtower Jehovahs Witnesses governing body who say they speak for God their interpretations are from God yet they deny divine inspiration?!! When a member ask this question they are percieved as challenging authority and some have been thrown out of the organization and shunned. My anxiety and depression are caused because I cannot base my faith on something I cannot fully understand, because the Watchtower governing body's ability to speak for God or as they teach are "led by God's spirit" to publish their interpretations of scripture without God's divine inspiration, yet much of what they have interpreted has needed adjustment due to error,..... Are they saying God's spirit has led them to wrong conclusions?!

Or is It simply human philosophy presented as God's spirit leadings,but then that describes 'divine inspiration' which the Watchtower governing body deny!!

Can you as educated professional please pose this question to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of the Jehovah's Witnesses governing body as they cannot retaliate against you because of a percieved challenge of their authority with threats to label as an apostate which then justifies any sanction, or dicipline up to throwing out of the organization as described above?

I am currently in therapy with a psychologist, and consult periodically with a psychiatrist, and with the help of meds can function with reduced capacity, but I would like to find more closure by having the help of professionals to get a specific answer as the mostly uneducated governing body of Jehovah's witnesse have no power to harm or threaten your standing in the religious community. Please consider, your help is very much appreciated.

I suspect the Jehovah's Witnesses governing body would take a defencive stance also if challenged by outsiders, educated or not. It must be frustrating to be expected to accept a version of God decided by a governing body, but it might not be in anyone's power to change how they perceive and present God. Then again, their version of God does not have to affect your own private relationship to God, does it?

Being rejected by your life long religious community has an impact emotionally, psychologically, and certainly spiritually.  An individuals private relationship to God is irrelevant when leaders within the same religious community purport to control HIS relationship with others.    I just feel a secular individual outside of the  reach,and scope of control of the Watchtower governing body, could  contact them with my question and perhaps actually get a definitive answer.   Could Dr Nils Håvard Dahl please do this as research for others in similar psychological dilema?

It is painful to read your story. I consider the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses (JV) to be misleading and far away from true Christian faith. I you had been presented the truth, you would not be anxious and depressed. For God does not make anyone depressed or anxious. He wants you just well.

When JV say that their claims come from God, they are wrong. If you examine their teachings thoroughly, you will find several errors. JV uses a different Bible than others. JV has a distorted translation with a row of error.

Joseph Wilting has been in JV for almost 40 years, but is no longer there. He will warn against JV and their learning. He knows well how difficult this is. He wrote the book "The Kingdom that never came" (Norwegian: "Riket som ikke kom"). He gives you a good explanation for your question. You can read more here: http://www.watchtowerdocuments.com/documents/1992_The_Kingdom_That_Never_Came_by_Joseph_Wilting.pdf

You can not win against the Watchtower or manage to convince their leaders that they are on the wrong track. However, you can prevent their teaching from causing more damage in your life. Many people lose contact with their own families when they leave the JV. I would advise you to make contact with other Christians so you do not have to be alone. It can be very helpful to you.

I neither have the will nor intent to change the Watchtower governing body's perceptions, nor those who  understand and tolerate their esoteric methods. 

 

It would however be very telling if a professional in any field could commit the Watchtower governing body to answer the specific question:

 

 Is being "spirit led" the same as being  Divine inspired?

*** w50 8/15 p. 263 Name and Purpose of The Watchtower ***
However, The Watchtower does not claim to be inspired in its utterances, nor is it dogmatic. It invites careful and critical examination of its contents in the light of the Scriptures.

Since the governing body claims no divine inspiration, how then are they the medium through which God  communicates, how is this paranormal activity done without God's divine inspiration per the  DICTIONARY DEFINITION:

Definition of INSPIRATION

1

a : a divine influence or action on a person believed to qualify him or her to receive and communicate sacred revelation

 

b : the action or power of moving the intellect or emotions

 

c : the act of influencing or suggesting opinions

But the Watchtower  governing body does say this:

"When the time comes to clarify a spiritual matter in our day, holy spirit helps responsible representatives of the faithful and discreet slave at world headquarters to discern deep truths that were not previously understood. (Matt. 24:45; 1 Cor. 2:13) The Governing Body as a whole considers adjusted explanations. (Acts 15:6) What they learn, they publish for the benefit of all." Watchtower 2010 Jul 15 pp.22-23

Thank you for the well thought out and logical explantion...very validating.   It saddens me that  the Watchtower's  governing body is willing to put others in this psychological  duress simply to appear authoratative in their interpretations.  

 

It is very basic either they have come to all their interpretations as a result of  sincere, albeit, imperfect, understandings, opinions, and conclutions that they must change due to their inherent  error  therefore cannot truthfully claim any Divine  Spirit guidance, minipulation,  influence....or they very simply must admit  that even with God's spirit leadings they still teach wrong doctrine, therefore are not reliable, spokesmen for God, in the way that scripture defines.

 

Still how would the Watchtower answer  these questions do they even know?!

Still how would the Watchtower answer  these questions do they even know?!

 

I do not have a thorough knowledge of the learnings of The Watchtower. And I do not remember all I read about the Watchtower. Therefore I can not give you a good answer. But I think you already have a conclusion of parts of this problem: That the Watchtower must be wrong in important parts of their teaching.

I think the Watchtower's leadership in their own eyes are honest about their interpretations of the Bible. But they do not understand that they make terrible mistakes. It can be more than one reason for their mistakes.

Of cause it is very frustration to see somebody leading others in wrong directions. We may also wonder why this happens. I do not have good explanations, but I make an attempt:

* Generally when people are wrong about the Bible, they often hold one or more wrong opinions on a very basic level. When they try to interpret different parts of the Bible build, they may also use these wrong basic assumptions. Then their conclusions also become wrong. (Compare: Many scientific theories are build on basic assumptions. If these assumptions are wrong, the whole theory many be wrong!) That may also be an explanation for the teaching of the Watchtower leadership.

 

* Parts of their claims that members of their church have to adjust themselves like they want to (style of leadership), may also be partly explained by the personality of the leaders of the Watchtower (people who love power too much). This may cause manipulations and use of too authoratative style. When there are lack of real correct understanding of the scripture, the effect may be destructive.

* The Watchowers leadership must also be wrong about The Holy Spirit. I think they probably never have experienced it. Because when the Holy Spirit is in action, you will see many good changes in peoples behaviour and there are often miracles like healing of sick people (1 Cor 12).

I lived many years as a Christian without experience of The Holy Spirit. Although the priests in the church I then was member of, claimed that the The Holy Spirit inspired them. I think they were wrong. I felt that the Sunday services in the church were "dead", without any closeness to God. It was more like a theory without practical effects in my life, only living after Christian ethics. May be you feel it like this also?

The first time I experienced the presence of The Holy Spirit, my life became changed permanently in a strong way. That happened when a man prayed for me. Something new came inside me, it was very, very good. The were no doubt what had happened. It was not something I felt was deserved, it was only God's love and mercy. Besides I got a strong certainty of being saved for the eternity and a strong joy and peace in mind. And very many other peoples have the same experience about The Holy Spirit.

If you experienced Holy Spirit as I and many other have, you will easier see when The Holy Spirit are in action or not. It is difficult to explain with just words. This is one reason that I will encourage you to seek fellowship in a congregation you can thrust and experience the presence of the Holy Spirit.

If we let God do whatever He like with us and seek a life subordinated Christ with a undivided hearth, our life can be change for ever. Then we can get the very strong joy and peace in mind which is written about in the Bible. Remember, your thrust and confidence in this context goes to God, not humans that may have put themselves in Gods place by help of jobs in a church.

I think this would be a god help to you and to get your life on right track again. Although we are not promised a life without trouble, we get a place to go when trouble comes and a place to direct our gratitude when things goes well. Then you can experience that praying is not just words, you can feel the presence of The Holy Spirit every time. Would you like a change like this?

So true about basic level thinking influencing other thought processes.  The Watchtower governing body has attached signficant importance to their 'thinking' and 'ideas' because they perceived  in the 1800s and early 1900s that their prolific writer CT Russell to be knowledgable, however, nearly everything this seemingly sincere and humble man wrote is obsulete, but it was with him that the concept that the Watchtower was a instrument of God was born, without one shred of divine providence...nothing.  

 

So today men like CT Russell and some like Rutherford use this earlier flawed, baseless concept, to wield dogmatic authority in the name of God and Christ even to the extent that they are willing to say that everyone not accepting their interpretations, for whatever reason will lose God's favor and doomed for destruction!    

 

This is quite a burden for anyone who is really thinking about what they are doing and saying in the Watchtower required activities.

 

My faith at this time is shaken to the core, and the Watchtower does not appear to allow room for others imperfect brains to percieve differently, to find their governing body's reasoning on some matters illogical even not solidly scripturally based. ... and feel victim of intellictual dishonesty on some level when an entire lifetime of decisions have been based on false premise.

 

How good that you have found freedom,and peace with God' spirit.  I won't give up either.

[ShakenFaith]

I have a long stuggle ahead.

 

 And I'm sure many members feel restentment, but if one has been conditioned to believe that any disent is directly against God, it becomes anixiety because of the cognitive dissonance.  I am functioning because my symptoms were so severe I needed medical attention which then led to psychological therapy...do you know the watchtower actually discourages talking to ones doctor about ill effects of  watchtower actions.  It is the experience of many that it is a  very misleading and emotionally abusive organization posing as a religion.  People are literally both psychological and physical hostages.  Thanks for the encouragement

Ok, sorry for this post being offtopic and/or insensitive,  but i just wanted to say this.

 

Theres 2 possibillities. There is a God, or there is not a God.

If there is a God, if you treat the ppl around you well, you will go to heaven.

If there is no God, if you treat the ppl around you well, you will be a good person.

 

So it all comes down to: Treat the ppl around you well.

 

Its actually that simple. Its not hard. You dont need to study 1000's of pages of "religious texts" for this knowledge, its simple logic. Anyone who tells you anything else, is trying to empower themselvs or theyre groups, by taking advantage of you, and tbh you should be happy to get out of that!

 

(again, sorry if this text come out as offtopic, insensitive or mocking religions or anything, thats not my intention, just my opinion, dont mean to offend anyone, your free to belive in whatever you want, tnx)

That's a great answer. Not mocking at all.

 

No one can tell for sure if there is a God or not. All we can do is to live our lives as best as we can.

No offence taken I actually feel that is what Jesus meant I mean he said "Do unto others as you would have them do to you"  And yes when human who have no special powers of any kind tell you that you need them to have God love or acknowledge you...it is definitly a power trip.

(My highlighting of a sentence in your text in bold.)

I don't see your statement as insensitive or mocking. Many people struggle with doubt, believers as well as non-believers. It is unfortunately a fact that some priests and church leaders do try to empower themselves or taking advantages of their church members. This is not limited to the Watchtower. The church history contains very many histories about this, some very cruel too. Jesus warned about such people and called them wolves in sheep's clothing.

Many atheists are sympatic and nice people. They follow their conscience as most people do. Some atheists  behave more sympatic than many christians. But none of us, christians and atheists and others, are without errors and feel temptations to do things which hurts other people's feelings or our health. There are a bad property in us humans to do bad things sometimes. We can not deny many personal conflicts, cruelty, hunger, wars and other sufferings on the Earth. Thus many people have a natural hope about an existence without these sufferings mainly caused by mankind's own evilness. These evil properties we obvious can not get rid of by ourselves. In that way this hope can only be fulfilled by someone who are without any errors.

The Bible's explanations about these ethical aspects and the exit from these sufferings do many feel that is good. But the Bible is much much more than ethics and magnifying our conscience. There are philosophy, culture, history, friendship, love, family life, about closer personal relationship to each other and descriptions of how you can experience communion with God.

People claiming to "be led by God`s spirit" are either lying or delusional. Give them power and they will use you for their own ends or destroy you. I know several people whom have met with financial ruin or severe mental problems because of how jehova`s witnesses treated them. My advice is to say enough is enough sooner rather than later.. which may be too late.

The damage caused by the Watchtower's teaching has several more sources than the claim to "be led by God's spirit". We can know that the referred claim is untrue because the effects of this in the case of Watchtower is not compatible with the claim (Explained by me earlier in this tread. The advice to leave Watchtower are also explained earlier by me.)

The Watchtower is unfortunately not alone about this untrue claim, but there are no evidence that such claims allways is a lie or delution for people in other churches.

Every claim should be tested. So shall also the claim that "People claiming to "be led by God`s spirit" are either lying or delusional" be tested. In this case there no evidence or reason are explained. Besides, this claim requires that a large part of more than 2 billion people on this planet lying or suffering from delusions about a fundamental aspect of their belief. Whoever state such a claim, must prove or justify their own statement.
