    Hi pp,

    Have a great one! Make sure you invite plenty of friends, family, ex JWs and JWs alike :)

    So have you been baptised in the Spirit?

    Acts 19

    Acts 11

    There is no need to wait until you have had your water baptism, see Acts 11.

    All the best,

    Stephen

    congrats passwordprotected. If that is where your path takes you, follow it and enjoy the journey!

    When my mother and I left - we did a brief stint in a church - I lasted 3 months before I saw pretty much the same structure in place as the JWs had. There were their doctrines and the like - anyway short story - I left. My mother stayed on and decided that she wanted to get baptised again. I didn't agree with it (for my own reasons) but supported her in her freedom to choose that path. She got baptised at the beach, with a few people and I there - it was more personal than the JW baptism, in that we prayed for her and each spoke a blessing, even I spoke up of our struggle out of the borg and now the freedom to follow our own path .... yes I got choked up - as true freedom is very dear to me.

    @ Stephen - yes I have. However, I'm sure more blessing from the Spirit will follow baptism.

    @ Lou - freedom is a wonderful thing and I'm glad both you and your mother have been able to experience and enjoy the wonderful blessings that freedom brings.

    Hi pp,

    Great news! Like Paul says

    1 Corinthians 12:30-31 (New International Version)

    30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But eagerly desire the greater gifts.

    Yes blessing follow (no doubt as well as persecutions before hand).

    Let us know what happens :)

    All the best,
    Stephen

    I thought eyeslice has faded off the JWN. Iam suprised, he is back which is a good thing. His face looks like that of Salman Rushdie. Please, see this Yotube vedeo on this link.
