Subject: What drew him to the group? |
Bible Note: 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. |
