How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    I was sitting in jail, had just given my life to "God" and was about 3 days into my deep study of the scriptures, when out of the blue, into my cell walks a 62 year old black man with a patch on his eye and a bad hip, arrested for child support, who had been in the truth since 1975. He isn't baptized.

    After a day or so of him seeing me reading my Bible like a champion, he finally spoke up and said "I see you reading that Bible, do you mind if I ask you some questions. I said "sure, please do."

    The very first thing he asked, and I'll never forget it, is "do you think you are going to heaven?" I said, "well yeah, I hope so" and he said, "you're not." From there he started explaining things so well, so logically, and he had me hook, line and sinker.

    After about 3 or 4 days of this questioning from him, he finally asked me "do you know who believes what I've been telling the?" and I said "no, who?" This is where he dropped the bomb on me; "Jehovah's Witnesses." All of a sudden, the 2 words that I had only ever heard spoken, but heard nothing about, became my passion. I was facing 12 years, and no matter how's much time I was going to do, I was going to learn and become a Witness. I knew it right then and there.

    I ended up getting only 15 months and I spent 5,500 hours learning and absorbing scripture like a sponge. In the New World Translation, I can turn to any scripture, but, my tact game is weak. I'm very blunt. But that will change as I go out and take more and more initiative in the ministry. I just know it will. It's going to be so awesome to see people's eyes light up as the seeds sprout.

    But no matter what, the goal is to plant as many seeds as possible in every way possible. I know this and I'm going to do my very best to do my part.
