Brothers and sisters... dont click on that link... I never click on links.. but I did this time... And at first you think it is something great! It is the District Convention, until they show this guy outside of the DC doing his form of "preaching"...... I turned it off, I didn't even listen to it all.....

Hey there my brothers and sisters!
What a great response we have gotten. It certaintly shows that JWs are worldwide, and we have a love and bond for each other. To those who are confused here as to why I posted this.. It is not seeking out association here, but rather to see where all of brothers and sisters posting here are from. :) We have to be VERY, VERY careful on the internet and we are constantly reminded of that. So pls everyone, my dear brothers and sisters, lets be very careful here on the internet. But it is very nice to see the response I have gotten here! Agape my brothers and sisters.

Xyleisha ----- Wow!!! You have been through a lot!!!! I am so proud of you my sister! Your experience was so touching. I hope one day your kids and husband will join you in making the truth their own. In the meantime, keep up the GREAT work!!!
Thank you all for sharing... This is so encouraging! I just love it! We can be so thankful to Jehovah for giving us our brothers and sisters and the laws that he does because they makes us good people. People with the same morals, honest, caring people, all serving Jehovah God.

Brothers....sometimes due to unusual circumstances this is the only association some people get.
Some feel so grateful to share experiences and be touched by the love we all show that God surely must have his hand in this also.
Over time we are able to decipher the rhetoric from the true Christians.
It isn't a good thing to be too specific in telling others your personal info. This is a dangerous world. And we are in the last days where we cannot trust everyone. So yes the major portion of our association should be the ones we see on a weekly basis at the hall. Yet I have been blessed to find a few here that I like to greet every day and see how things are going in their area of the country. And incite to love and fine works. And all the more so as we behold the day drawing near.

I've been studying for about a year. Really seriously for the last 5 months or so. Will be baptized June at District Convention. Live in the Southeast.
I love, of course, the association of brothers and sisters. But I also appreciate the fact that I KNOW the truth. I know the reason behind all of the wickedness in this world. I'm so glad I'm not blind anymore or caught up in the lies that the churches tell. No wonder there are so many atheists on Y/A. They see the hypocrisy!
Also I love what the truth has done for my family life. My marriage, for one, is no longer a "prison." We are all so grateful for the bible that Jehovah's given us to benefit ourselves. My husband too has started studying. He now stands by my side when others oppose us - even his own family!
I love knowing I am on the side of Jehovah the Almighty!

I quite young but grew up around the truth. I didn't really do anything until the Deliverance is at Hand convention though. I was baptized last year at the special assembly day on September 17, 2006. I am somewhere in the US like mountainous. Can't say though. I started pioneering this service year and I am loving every minute of it. I can't believe the blessing that come from it. I have been praying for a Bible study so I am sure that Jehovah will answer my prayer. I love and appreciate everything about Jehovah's organization. Even despite opposition i will stay strong. And I am loving the New book, "Come be my follower"

I started associating with Jehovah's Witnesses since age 15. I got baptized at age 17. Been in the truth for over 10 years. I'm located in the Caribbean country of Trinidad and Tobago.
I appreciate the worldwide spiritual love that Jehovah's Witnesses have. I've traveled to other countries and have been welcomed with open arms by other brothers and sisters in the faith.
I'm the only Witness in my entire family and relatives but I've never felt lonely because of the encouragement from other brothers. I've had set backs in my life, but I'm now seeing my way. Jehovah has blessed me immensely, including providing me with a life partner. I'll be getting married next year July.

Hi, I was baptized in 1996,I studied the "Live forever on Paradise earth," book for three years before coming into the truth. I live in Bermuda. I love the world wide brotherhood. I drove taxi here a few years ago and picked up some people who where on a cruise to the island and wanted to visit a Kingdom Hall. I asked if they (4 of them) were Jehovah witnesses, to which they said Yes and I smiled and said I was one too. They were so happy, they hugged me and you would have thought that we were lost lost relatives by the happy exchange of greetings and hugs . I had only been in the truth a couple of years at the time. I will never forget that experience.

I was raised around the truth (mom a reg. pioneer, dad is the PO) I accepted the truth as my own in 2003. Took me a while, but I did it :-)
What I really appreciate about the organization is the unity and honest affection and love that we have for one another. You cannot find that anywhere else in the world.
I'm in the West

Your factor is a superb one, besides the undeniable fact that it is not possibly a question in terms of being an inquiry, is it. Cults of each sort have a protracted historic previous of hostility in the direction of people who have not got self belief as they do. Christians referred to as those human beings "heretics" and used to burn them. a minimum of the JW's basically turn hateful, and who cares?
