MR. BORN AGAIN
JoinedI was raised in the cult but never got baptized. My parents were what I call "liberal JW's". I was always allowed to associate with my other family members who were "regular christains"...that kept me somewhat normal. I was still influenced by the fear, the guilt and the leaving the decision making to others...kinda like coasting through life "waiting on the end". I never really beleived all the JW STUFF, but I was afraid not to beleive, plus that was all that I knew. I remember having questions like who is the SOCIETY and why does everybody just do what they say with no question, can I PLEASE meet one of the people who partake at the memorial? Then I herd about the 1975 thing!!! I remembered being raised on the "1914/this generation thing", and started questioning that. The only answer I got was "New Light"...how convenient. I always beleived in GOD and as a RAISED WITNESS, attending meetings here and there I finally came up with the decission to just pray and study the WORD for myself. The more I studied the more the JW teachings weren't adding up. The more questions I asked I seen that no one could answer them and just wanted me to be quiet. Finally, through prayer I FINALLY got the courage to check this Religion out. And the rest...well most of you know! The JWs did teach me ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING...THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!!!
