continue> And in the name of the Holy Spirit. In these words I gave my life , my heart, my soul and my mind to God. When my daugther got grown and armageddon had not come,as I was told, I was now free to go on with my life because I said until my daughter grow up. I have other children and also remarried to my husband. After attending so many meeting and listening, I new that something was missing but i did not know what. There is a Church inside of the Church, even inside of organizations or religions. This Church is born of God. This Church is here to let the world know that Jesus, meaning the name of Jesus was sent as a covering for us who believe that God who loves mankind very much loves all who are willing to humble our selves and love him with our whole heart by obedying him in loving our neighbor as our selves. When I hear words of some Pastors that only can be revealed through, the Holy Spirit my heart leaps for Joy I am seeing people being taken care of. I have become a giver to those who are in need. My needs are being met, because I am seeking his face the face of Jehovah or Yahweh the face of God is beautiful in Jesus, who is the love of God to us. I love you keep seeking you will find . We can not see hurting humans and not feel compassion for them I will always be a Witness for Jehovah but I will subject my self under the name that he chose for me,and that is Jesus Christ yes I am a Christian the word of God says that in this name every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus he is who he said he is Lord the Son God.

I have begin to grow in the love that God sent in the name of Jesus Christ, his Son. Jesus ask Peter, do you love me Peter,he said yes Lord .and was told to feed, Jesus’s lambs and sheeps. We were bought with a price. The blood that was shed was for Jews and Gentiles.Jesus came to save the world. When I am question about not coming to the kingdom hall by those who attend, I go think to when I was nineteen years of age, I was married I had a baby and was told that I should get baptized to save my daughter, and that Jehovah would not hold me responsible if I got baptized just to save my child, so I did. You see The love that I have for God began when I was A child five years of age.My daddy died , my mother carried me outside and pointed up to the heavens and said, your daddy have died, but God is Your Father, I believed the words that she said, so I have never been alone. When I was told that I started with WatchTower and that is where I should end, I said let me check what I said at baptism, in the name of the Father Jehovah, in the name of the Son Jesus

Jesus Christ death on calvary paid the price for his bride. Divorce is common in the world, but not so with God. Jesus said to love the LORD pur God with our whole heart our whole soul and our whole mind and to love our neighbor as our selves. Our Father is working on the inside of people the Holy Spirit is cleaning and helping people to change. love is a God given quailty. Nothing can cause us to love one another when we are full of our selves. Pride will not allow us to change. But God through his Holy Spirit is helping us if we are wllling to humble our selves and seek him by obedying his words of forgiving others, which is a very hard thing to do, but if you would ask Jesus to come into your hearts and be your Lord and savior, wash you in his blood, cleaning you from your sins , then he will give you a new birth by faith and Jehovah will strenghten you so that you will be able to for give the ones who have wrong you and you compassion for other from the heart, not a taught but a God given forgiveness.Goodbye

God, in his great love for all humankind sent his Son Jesus to give back what was lost. We need a savior, one who will love us even though we all are imperfect. Apostate is guilty of not loving God and rebelling against his laws and statutes written. Giving is a part of who Jehovah is. When Jesus died years ago the giving is part of the new birth. We can not give out, what we do not have within. There is no law against love. we say Jehovah the Jews say Yahweh or some other pronuciation others may pronunce it another way. But is still one. the Israelites reverance that name so much that they dared not to use it in an unholy way. Today we have people speaking and calling them selves ex-JWS. once you give your life to God you can not take it back. This life is a journey. It does not matter who trieds to throw you out or take you away, now you are in a covenant relationship with God. Now what one needs to do next is to ask the Father what he wants you to do next. It could be finding a place of praise and worship, letting his spirit remove the evil that has been hiding in your heart.

I feel your pain.this great God who has chosen to let us humans call him by his name and the fact that we are still alive is awesome. We call him Jehovah in english. The Jews called him Yahweh or Yehovah or the pronunciation would begin with letter Y. The Israelites knew the wrath of God. I do not believe there are any ex believers in Jehovah. your journey has just begun. The reason that I say this is because God has always been and always will be. He said of himself that I AM meaning he always present. He has given us the priviledge of calling him Father. In this world we need as never before to seek our Father, Not to hide so to speak but shine for him in this darken world. He is our Creator He is Holy. Her is Pure, so Pure that no man have ever nor never will see him. Please do fear, but move on to higher level that The Father have set up for all mankind. In the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess that he is Lord to the glory of God. Forgive move forward, God will reveal him self to all of those who are willing and seeking. I love you God Love you and let everything that have breathe praise God for what he is doing through his Holy Spirit in Jesus name. Amen

hello anna..i will never hate people like that..what right do they have,to teach people to hate,when jesus said to love your neighbour,not just the ones that believe in him,but all people.i would never ever shun my family members like that.i don’t think i would make a very good watchtower witness.i love my family and people too much,to become a hate filled human being..i have heard a lot of things from so called christian witnesses,that make my stomach turn.its strange,but theres a inner voice inside me saying,do not follow…the bible says to make sure of all things,and question everything,to make sure its truth..i have noticed if they do that they are disfellowshiped.then labelled apostates,for doing what jesus told them to do.unbelievable…

linda, the organization itself is very clear on the matter. if you are not a jw you are worldly (us vs. them attitude. which is one defining characteristic of a cult) if you were a jw and now not you are an apostate (diseased mind,(their own words) demon possessed follower of Satan whose sole purpose in life is to corrupt witnesses). it is your godly duty to HATE the world and those in it. you are to turn your back so that you will remain pure unsoiled by worldly ways so you may attain Valhalla. oops everlasting life.
so for a witness what you see as evil and cruel to them is helping them attain everlasting life.
that is the basic principal for shunning family members who dare question.

Comment on Jehovah’s Witnesses and Disfellowshipping by Nick

Nick — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:25:16 +0000

I left 28 years ago, just declared one day I dont (and never did) believe. I took the chance my family would shun me but they never did, not the slightest. In fact I have met dozens of JW’s I used to know and it has never even been awakward. I’ve hung out, had dinner, like nothing happened. Dont know why my experience is different. I totally should be disfellowshipped, maybe they disassociated me, I dont really give a sh*t. As someone who was one from age 2 to 24, I truly feel my life could have been 3 times as good if that didnt happen (just an arbitrary guess of course). I will resent them (and my mom) until the day I die for putting me through that. And they have some whacky ideas, but hey they arent all that bad. What bugs me somewhat is when I read stuff like this on the internet nearly every ex member is still a christian. I really wish you people would see the light that ALL religion is nonsense and you are wasting your time if you are a JW or a catholic or Mormon or anything. Is it really crazy to think you’d live for ever on earth and sane to think you’ll live forever in heaven while other people live forever in hell? Is a god who would do that something you want to worship?

Comment on Chilling Abuse Testimony — A family of Jehovah’s Witnesses by Indiana

Now people are strongly organized against Jehovah’s Witnesses in Indianapolis. Also they have a legal duty to report child sexual abuse to their local law.
