As Jehovah Witnesses both of you must have believed blindly to JW's doctrine of restoration.

If people can be honest to themselves without any indoctrination influence, most will admit they don;t know what the future may hold. Believing blindly sometime give religion believers a mental crutch, with most likely is a false sense of security. Most people need that less they become insane. The very minority people who take the gnostic path, the seeking of knowledge instead of just stopping at blind faith, are differently wired. They may believe a certain statement, but as seeker of truth, they don't put unconfirmed and unproven statement into conclusive truth like the typical JWs or Christians. Unproven believe is a hypothesis that must later on be proven true or false, not just be believed blindly.
