NZ media picked up on story from convention held last weekend about a former gang associate who got baptised. Nice experience told by our new brother. Deserves to be posted on jw.org

He is thankful, and says one piece of scripture sums it up.

"'You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.' I've heard that scripture heaps of times over the years but didn't really understand it until I realised what truth really is - God's truth - and it set me free from a lot of things."

(Love his quote)..
Thanks for posting Dave. Great experience! :)

This is not the first time I've heard a story like this, yet each time I hear about such ones it's LIKE the first time, because it always touches my heart, like the new video they put up on jw.org in the last week or so, about the brother who got the truth in prison. I nearly wept when I heard him expressing himself.

 

see it on jw.org here: http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/help-community/video-from-prison-to-prosperity/

 

I personally know a brother who used to be in a rival gang to the one mentioned in the title of this post. The things he overcame to accept the truth are amazing, including a severe beating from his former gang associates. Sadly, he battles with depression and self doubt and no longer attends meetings despite a great deal of encouragement from the brothers.

 

It's a hard road these ones have to walk, so when you see them succeeding, it's very powerful.

Sunray on the pages are numbers, 1- 9 so far This is a simple I can make posting an interest. So next to the numbers looks like an arrow head.

click on that and you will get a choice of places to send such as facebook & google , & a mailbox chose mailbox & then it will send as a link the desired subject from your Note that's easier if you don't have a PC.
