My eldest Sister became one of Jehovah's Witnesses in the late 70's. I saw how much she wanted to allow Jehovah's word to mold her into the person she has become. The entire immediate family was astounded to the point that I began wanting to learn what she had excepted, had made the changes in her life which I knew were very difficult for her to make. I felt in time, I may want to give it a try. It took twenty years for me to want to allow this to become a part of my life. I wanted to learn about our creator, see if he would want me, love me, protect me and provide for me. I felt if his word was true, if he kept his promises to me, I would not turn back. I saw this transformation become a reality for my Sister and felt it she had the desire, the determination, and faith to stick it out, that was an example I could follow. I used her as a role model to cling on to a living soul who also was my fleshly sibling, She had a wild and crazy life prior to studying and as my idol, I modeled my worldly life after her only better.
Well, I'd had enough! I sat down, prayed to Jehovah, who's name I was sure of, and I will never forget me asking Jehovah to show me how to come to him, guide; my eyes to be able to see what I needed to see, me ears to be able to hear what I needed to hear, and my mouth to be able to the words I needed to say, in order to be pleasing to him. I will never forget that right after I asked for this, I opened my bible to Mathew 6: and my eyes found verse 25. I read to the end. I knew this was my answer. That Jehovah had guided my eyes, ears and now with my mouth I was reading aloud. I made up my mind to take a serious stand for Jehovah. I was ready to let him guide me from that moment on. That was in 1996. After some weeks of accepting this, I called my/our Sister and told her of my experience and ended with me asking her to put me in touch with the elderly brother who was like a spiritual father figure to her. He came to my place, we talked and he help me appreciate the sower of the seeds. I then asked him if the elderly Sister, who would sit in, throughout those twenty years of my being unsure, on my studies, was still attending the same congregation. He said yes, I said, "Please, will you ask her if she would study with me"? He did, we arranged the date/times and I never looked back. I even increased the amount of days per week to three! I was look at as a progressive Bible student.

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
