In order for you to find the truth you have to have been told a lie. I was raised believing that good people go to heaven. When my Grandmother died I knew for sure she would go there, we were very close and if anyone deserved to be there I was certain she did. After her death I felt a big black void in my life. I did not feel her presense nor did I sense that she was "watching over me". She was gone and that's all there was to it. I was raised Catholic and called 3 of their churches searching for the truth, my church, her church and a random church. What made matters worse is that I had lost my only 4 relatives, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt and Uncle within 4 weeks. I told the priests that the foundation of my faith was shaken, I was crying hysterically, but not one of them would give me any time or answers, one had the nerve to say "if you can get here in 5 minutes I can give you 10". What nerve, for goodness sake, my whole family had just died! I hung up and vowed to myself that I would never step foot in a Catholic church again. How could they have God's backing if they couldn't even offer comfort for the depressed and grieving? For two years I prayed to God, "where is my Grandmother?" Finally one day 2 women knocked on my door, yes they were Jehovah's WItnesses. They asked me if I thought the Bible was capable of answering any questions concerning life and death? I asked, can it tell me where my Grandmother and my other relatives are? They opened to the book of Ecclesiastes and read from chapter 9 verses 5 and 6 "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun." and then verse 10 "All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She′ol, the place to which you are going."
There I had it, the TRUTH. My Grandmother, Grandfather, Aunt and Uncle were simply dead, no pain, no suffering, no work, nothing. I went in immediately and called the churches and told those priest that I had found the answer to my questions and scolded them for the lies they had taught me for 30 years. I have been one of Jehovah's Witnesses for 17 years now.
I hope that answers "your" question.

Many, many years ago. While standing in my bathroom, staring down at a counter, drugs scattered all over it and then looking into the mirror and At that moment my eyes were opened to what i had become. At that moment I cried out to the Lord, very loudly, weeping...."God help me". In a matter of about five minutes, my mother walked into the the room, took me out of that condo, and I started getting off drugs and knew without any doubt, the Lord, Himself, heard Me! Never again have I been that person. Oh, not only did he hear me that day, also, I went through No with drawl symptoms. If you were to ask a Dr., I should have went through symptoms.
Thank you Jesus!!! Thank you for saving me! Thank you for revealing to me what I needed to see! Thank you for Loving me, a sinner, so much that you died for Me! Thank you for revealing the Truth!
JOH 8:32 And ye shall know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you free.

I was brought to church as a child and I knew God was real, but I doubted He loved me.
I walked the aisle as a teenager and said I needed God in my life, but I doubted He loved me.
I rededicated my life to the Lord in 1983, but I doubted He loved me.
I went to church for years and served wherever I was needed, but I doubted He loved me.
I cried out to Jesus, "Please show me You really love someone like me??!?
He said, "Yes! I Love you! Is my life not enough??"
I fell to my knees before my Lord and Savior and have never doubted His love since!!!
