Well you already know that I grew up in the truth. But unlike a brainwashed idiot, like some call us, I studied the Bible diligently for myself. The truth is the truth, you can't ignore that. Jehovah drew me and I responded. Prophecy fulfilled is the most convinicing peice of evidence for me. Also the love in the organization. You will never, ever get that out in the world. I just went to Pioneer School and that was the best experience of my life. I am a Jehovah's Wittness and we do not believe all of us are going to heaven. We believe that if you read and study God's word and obey his commands, that you can live forever on a paradise earth. That's what my hope is. Serving Jehovah forever.

My wife and I have been Jehovah's Witnesses for 48 years, I grew up in the Church of Christ, was not baptized in the church.
My wife started studying first, started listening, asked some ???, but the scripture that got me studying was Ps. 37:29, because Church of Christ teaches that all good & approved people go to heaven, whereas the rest of us go to that unscriptural hell-fire, well if that was true then King David was telling a lie, so I asked for a bible study with the sister's husband that was studying with my wife.
We both was baptized the same day, in a swimming pool, in Costa Mesa, CA 1958. This month I am Aux. Pioneering.

In many countries, building Kingdom Halls was very challenging and used to take a long time. Some congregations would meet in rented facilities for months—or even years—while construction continued. In one unfinished Kingdom Hall in an African land, a wild parrot took up nesting in the ceiling rafters. Soon the parrot was whistling along with the Kingdom songs, which no one seemed to mind. Work progressed so slowly that the parrot learned to imitate the Watchtower Study conductor, even calling brothers and sisters by name! Eventually, the Kingdom Hall was finished, and the parrot had to find another residence.

think about it, if you were Satan and wanted to lead people down the wrong road, what would be the best way to do that? Attack the Word of God, that is what he ALWAYS does.
These atheist are just a few, in that they attack what the Bible teaches about God creating the world.The Mormons attack by saying it is complete without the book or Mormon, The catholics do it by adding books to the bible, they are the only denomination that uses that catholic bible.
And enter the JW's, Mr.Russell writes his own version of the bible, the New World translation. He takes out Hell, takes away the Deity of Jesus Christ, thus making him appear to be just another good man. And somehow makes you all think that it is sin to take blood when you need it. You don't celebrate Christmas, but Halloween is okay. You don't believe that those who trust in Jesus will go to Heaven, and you don't believe that those who don't will suffer for all eternity in hell.
Russell did a con job on you, he was a false prophet indeed.
Jesus Christ is God and Satan is NOT in control of the world while God sits helplessly by watching Satan mess it up.
