I was nine when I first came to some conclusions about life,.which were quite profound I was 25 when Jws found me. after reading one of thier publications a conclusion I had come to when I was nine was in that publication,. my reaction,…. angry and peed off that jehovah had not found me earlier than he did ,.. I didnt need to be a grown up to realize how rotten religion was,..to realize how unfair days like xmas day was,.. I was only nine and blaming god for it all My gripe is why did he wait so long to find me,.I wanna know ,...
An Experience : two of our friends were going home after working all day at the Jws headquarters for the day it was early evening ,.they were mugged,.. J ran to get help,..when he came back M had disappeared,.weeks of searching no results,. Nine yrs later J is at a meeting of JWs he observes a man walking into the hall,.. As is customary among Jws goes to meet this obviously new attender. upon enquiring realizes it was M, his mugged friend who does not recognize him
What had happened ?? While J had gone for help, M had woken up and wandered off,. and now here he was at the kingdom hall 9yrs later saying he had never been to such a meeting in his life ( He had been an elder in the congregation before ),,. During the past week b4 the meeting a witness had called on him, he responded,. And agreed to to go to a meeting,. amnesia had been his way of life for 9yrs ,. The mind is an amazing thing but his heart belonged to Jehovah and it never forgot ,..it responded when he heard the truth again
