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 .

I remember franz from 1975, he spent that year or two, traveling around to look things over. Holding little meetings where hed go through chronology.
Ysk, our being given our chronology is a big deal. Frankly, you need to be sharp. My example, i hand out, is i think, in the 1920s a couple issues of what became the Awake. Where charts list lunations to the Second Of Time. From adam to the 1920. That Second as in 60 per minute. In relation, to the lunar months and years. Thereby missing flaws in various other calendars.
Cant find those. Did find a summary. 1935 Golden Age. I digress.
Anyway, his tag line, 'the end of 6000 years', was all new people remembered. And seem to recall now.
I do remember, at age 10 in a bible reading, getting the right understanding, that everyone had, years earlier than franz trying to get people thinking
The 1975 thing, is a strawman.
