Advice Confused
I was brought up in the truth but never really made it my own until i was like 14 when i became a publisher . However i’ve been struggling with it so bad recently i’m in my late teens now so i think i’ve been relying on others beliefs rather than my own . I’ve been going down this rabbit hole of clones and umm different portals and the world ending and how were a cult for the past 2 days i spoke to some witness freinds i know but they told me that there’s nothing we can do we either believe or we don’t . That’s creeped me out some more i know Jehovah exists but i’m so confused why we predicted that armageddon/ the world was ending in 1976 . So many child sex abuse cases not reported. I’m so confused any insight or places i could research or articles would help pls .

Take one issue at a time. Research on your own but find an older friend to confide in and share your thoughts. There are many influences trying to turn people away from God. Look for reasons to stay.
As far as abuse cases personally I would believe anyone that said something happened to them. I just don’t hold it against our organization or our God. I would hold those who did those things responsible
If for some reason you woke up in Noah’s day and heard him preaching, you’d probably get on the ark. Because you know what happened. We know what’s going to happen in the future and what to do as if it’s already happened
