1 | What drew him to the group? | Acts 5:34 | Makarios | 7603 | ||
What originally drove this man to the family and for them to accept him and for him to be accepted by them was just out of love for his wife. This man and his wife were living together as a married couple should. However, they began to experience problems and his wife mentioned those problems to the 'woman leader' of this family at her workplace. This woman was really the 'head' of the family, making the decisions and her husband, the pastor of their non-denominational church, was the one who carried out the 'plans'. So this woman began to gain an influence with this man's wife and persuaded them that they should be apart. This led to the man's wife to move into this family's house. She stayed there for about a year until she finally moved out of their house and in with her mother and father's home (the wife of my friend). And this man merely went over there and 'became' a part of their family just to see his wife! But they were being deceived all along, and the family began to say negative things about his wife, hoping to keep them apart. And he went along with it! He was swept away by their deception, breaking his wife's heart. And he was this way until I asked him what was going on, and he told me. Then we came to the realization that the family was deceiving him and trying to plant a 'wedge' between this man (my friend) and his wife. Now they are back together and healing their marriage by keeping their focus on Jesus Christ. I visit them every so often, trying to minister to them in any way that I can. They are my friends will always be, even though I've only known them for a short while. They are very weary of who they trust! But I am thankful that I have attained that place in their hearts. They were even speaking of possibly having children together the last time I visited them! I go that way every weekend, and it is on my way to church. Please feel free to ask any questions. I'm glad that you found this interesting! -Nolan |

Thanks Nolan, this is a common story hurting Christians looking for answers. Most of the time the “Christian” church is too busy shooting the wounded to help. I have seen this scenario happen over and over. I would guess 90 percent of Mormon and JW converts are hurting Christians. I once knew a sweet young girl that made a mistake (had the baby instead of aborting it), gave her life to Christ and turned her life around. However the really “righteous women” of the church drove her out before she could contaminate any of their sons. The same boys that were bedding any girl that would look at them twice. She left in tears. I tried to talk to her and she said something I will never forget, she said I use to attend a Jehovah Witness church and you know something like this would never have happened there. Thankfully she didn’t go back the JW She found a great church, with loving people. And after a few years she met a fine young man, they got married and now the whole family is serving the Lord. |
