littlebrother, When I was saved by the power of God of the Holy Bible, the Mormons & JWs visited me too much at that time. They confused me by telling me the bible said this & that. So? I got a strongs exhaustive to go with my King James. And stay true to the Spirit that saved & healed me. But I never went to one of their services.

Teem, Jesus Christ as a human anointed by the Holy Spirit died on the stauros. His shed blood is sufficient for remission of our sins. He raised from the dead. He is the firstborn from the dead. Because He was like the 1st Adam, yet didn't sin, so one back the right to everlasting life for us. See? I am a Christian & understand this. That is why Jesus Is the Only Begotten Son of God born of a virgin, conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Yes...I was a Jehovahs witness for over 25 yrs. and I cant even tell you what a shock and relief it was when I really found out the truth. I got myself another bible and it was like a light switch being turned on for me. Thier bible is so grossly mistranslated that it completely changes the meaning of the entire message of the bible. I cant go on about all that I learned about them...I dont have enough room. Please other JWs dont say that Im wrong because I prayed and prayed and I researched and researched and I finally feel a wonderful peace with God and Jesus in my life. And I now realise that to believe Jesus was the lord and savior and died for my sins is ENOUGH to be saved because its not through works but through the grace of God that I will be saved.

Jehovah's Witnesses do believe that Jesus is the Son of the Living God and that we can only get atonement for our sins through the pouring out of Jesus blood. We believe that he was resurrected three days after he died, but did not ascend to heaven until 40 days after this death, where upward of 500 saw him ascend to heaven.
What is the point of your question? Why didn't you just say, who convented from Jehovah's Witnesses to believe in the Trinity?

I was brought up in the Baptist church. I was very active in the church. One of the best decisions I ever made was to accept a Bible study with one of Jehovah's Witnesses. A dear, kind woman who patiently answered every question I had from my well worn King James Bible. Once I was convinced that I had the truth, nothing could ever deter me from serving the true God and showing my gratitude by helping as many others as I possibly could.

Jehovah's Witnesses also believe that Jesus is God's son, they believe that he died for our sins and that he was raised from the dead to heavenly life again. So far your religion sounds the same as the Jehovah's Witnesses. Funny that so many people think they don't believe in Jesus and all sorts of weird things like that.

I'm not sure what you mean.
By becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I believe Jesus died for me.
By becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses, My salvation is thru the blood of Christ.
By becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I know Jesus was raised from the dead.
By becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I know my sins are forgiven or atoned thru my faith in Jesus' death.
Actually Jehovah's Witnesses are the only ones who believe this.
Most other 'christian' religions teach that 'God died for them'
and since God can not die, they have no salvation.

Thats like saying Did you transfer from one dark solitary confinement cell to another. Same concept. I converted from a JW cult member to a sane thinking individual.

I converted from being a catholic who worshiped a triune god,to being one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jehovah's Witnesses do very much have faith in Christ Jesus,and recognise him as the Son of the Living God,Jehovah.
We also believe that by exercising faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus,will afford us the opportunity for eternal life.
So what is the purpose of your question,other than another opportunity to slander God's people??

Why are Christians always trying to convert someone? Its OK to be a christian but the whole world doesn't need to be.
