Hey achtung h You did not answer the question and maybe I need to word it differently. I was speaking to those who want help understanding.

The best thing you can do is pray for others. Then God will help them. Everybody needs help at one point or another in their faith walk. I know I do and I have been a practicing Christian for over 20 years.
So pray for them.

Jehovah's Witnesses are the best people from whom to get accurate answers to questions about the bible and Christianity. Like Jesus, Jehovah's Witnesses actually go to the people, rather than expecting the people to come to them.
Interestingly, a common misconception is that Jehovah's Witnesses go from door-to-door because they feel it is their duty to get a householder to "convert". In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses would go from door-to-door even if there were no hope that anyone would change their religion, or even if no one would listen to them!
That is because Jesus Christ specifically assigned the house-to-house ministry to the Christian congregation, with no regard for specific results.
(Luke 10:1,2) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come. 2 Then he began to say to them: “The harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few. Therefore beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
Jehovah's Witnesses are trained to direct attention to the bible, and move on when their message is unwanted. Since each congregation in the United States tries to call at every home in its territory at least twice each year, there is strong motivation for them to move on where little interest is shown. Also, the Scriptures help the Witnesses to expect little interest from most:
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching ...and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

ah grasshopper....such humility, such hubris...
the question is not
" how can others have questions about your faith"
but , grasshopper, "how can you have none about your faith"
ah grasshopper, I fear that your path will be long and arduous

I would suggest that you hold your understanding at the present statue quo until after you read
"A History of God" by Armstrong
the works of Campbell, Frazer and Bultmann
assuming that you have already read these works, then the Greek philosophers-especially Plotinus; then Augustine, Aquinas and Theodore of Mopsuestia [May Dr. I.M. Arkin's memory be praised]
save the proselytizing and the self aggrandizing til then

There's not much to understand. It's just a mental virus wrapped up in a bunch of silly creeds and conflicting beliefs, supported by the invalid concept of faith.
