How long is it to when you get used to being a Jehovah's Witness? I am still tip toeing in proverbial clouds because I am still feeling so happy and blessed to be a fully fledged servant of the True God Jehovah.

Good for you!!!
Keep in mind all the blessings you have received from Jehovah so far and cherish that. Whatever else happens, never forget what attracted you to Jehovah in the first place.
Also do not forget that we can never learn all there is to know about the truth. Continue studying the Bible, dig deeper into the precious truths, learn to study for yourself why we believe what we believe so that you can explain things straight from the Bible, without a publication.
Try your best to help others learn about the Bible so that they too can feel the way you do now.
Stay CLOSE to the congregation, we need mature brothers since the family is growing!!!
Pray, pray, pray everyday to your loving Father Jehovah.
Regards to your brother (who is my brother too now) :-)

Congratulations! I am very happy for you! I am glad that you had the courage to post this question regardless of the backlash that you may get due to your beliefs! I feel a sense of pride when people make the dedication to serve Jehovah our Lord And Savior. By reading some of the posts, I can't believe anyone would think that we are part of a cult whereas, anything that are in the Watchtower or discuss in our meetings, is referenced directly from the Bible. I wish some people would put aside the rumors that they heard about our group and start to investigate for themselves. I think some people are skeptical by us calling our Lord and Savior Jehovah but it is right in Psalm 83:18 that is God's name. Don't let anyone deter you from the right path and it comes with the territory that there will be those that will try to persecute you for loving Jehovah.

You have made the best decision of your life! Congratulations!! Stay close to Jehovah and oppose the devil. If you keep up your studies, pray, read the Bible and meditate on it, be regular in field ministry and attend all the meetings you will never get used to being a witness, it will be your own and it will make you SO happy!!
Much sisterly love to you!!
Agape,

I liken baptism to courtship.
When you first meet that special someone, you're passionate about making a great impression. You're full of emotion and there's the newness of the relationship to keep life fresh, interesting, exciting. But once a couple are married and the comfort of many years creeps in, the passion subsides somewhat. Some couples begin taking one another for granted, communication can suffer, sometimes they start taking up separate interests and grow further apart.
Being dedicated and baptized into God's organization is a lot like that. At least it is for me. It is sometimes a great struggle to keep my passion for God alive. I'm comfortable in my knowledge and with his people. It takes a lot of effort to keep any relationship strong.
The proverbial cloud will slowly become a heavy fog and then a thin mist and fade completely. But if you continue working in the Field and attending the meetings, your love will grow stronger with maturity and will endure the test of time.
Congratulations, again.
Agape,

Congratulations! Pray that you never loose the zeal that you have now! Remember the glorified Jesus counseled the first-century congregation in Ephesus: “I hold this against you, that you have left the love you had at first.” (Rev. 2:4) Evidently, many had lost their first love for Jehovah. When we were learning the truth, we developed a strong love for God and neighbor, and this moved us to share our newfound hope with zeal.
Jehovah provided in his Son, Jesus Christ, the perfect example of a zealous minister. Jesus maintained his zeal right to the painful but triumphant end of his earthly life. Hebrews 12:2, 3 points out one thing that helped Jesus to remain firm. It was the reward that was set before him. Your zeal can be renewed when you consider the bright hope that Jehovah has set before you. Remember, it is not how long we have been zealous but our enduring to the end that will bring us the happy reward of eternal life.—Matt. 24:13.

I have so happy for you. You made it!
Isnt it just such a wonderful feeling?
Remember to stay focused and let Jehovah be involved in all your decision making.
Take extra care now you are baptised and not allow room for Satan to sidetrack you or stumble you.
Remember it is Jehovah God you are now serving and have dedicated your life to and he will bless and look after you but you need to do your part.
All the best my new sister.

I agree with my sisters. welcome sister. just remember that Jehovah and Jesus Christ love and now you have a worldwide brother and sisterhood who love you also. I just got back from my two day assembly. I met a sister who got baptized the same day that my late husband and I did in July 7 1990. it was so great to see her and all my brothers and sisters. I even got to met a brother who does yahoo answers also. I hope that we keep in touch with each other. but just remember two things . the devil will be working on you now because he wants to leave Jehovah and Jesus. also we have many apostates on here. unsilence lamb and nina for two. be careful. they love to slander us. once again welcome sister. by the way. last week two got baptized and this Saturday six more got baptized

Continue to walk that Narrow path that Christ spoke about. The journey ahead calls for endurance, and if you rely on God's word to direct your path you will succeed.
“Never be anxious and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or, ‘What are we to drink?’ or, ‘What are we to put on?’ For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. For your heavenly Father knows you need all these things. Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you. So, never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties.” (Matthew 6:31-34)

I really don't think your happiness will wear off anytime soon, mine hasn't and I've been baptized since 1995.
