You surely made Jehovah's heart glad by your faithfulness. Well done. And you warm our hearts too reading about your reliance on Jehovah and your courage. I would like to share this with friends in my own congregation. I hope that's ok with you. Isn't it amazing how Jehovah can level a mountainous problem?!

What a great experience !!

 

Reminds me of David v. Goliath. "Then the Philistine rose and drew steadily closer to meet David, but David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine."

Thank you, Br. Arumuga, for taking a courageous stand for the truth! Your story made my eyes well up. Our God Jehovah never abandons his servants and helps them in the most unexpected ways. I too have been in very difficult situations, but always felt God's support. So may Jehovah bless you for your loyalty and help you endure hardships faithfully. I will pray for you.

Psalms 23

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Brother Arumuga, may Jehovah give you such a blessing for staying close to him in such a trial.  May I relate a similar experience that happened to my family?  When my mum was studying, her brother became violently opposed.  So much so that he came over to our house, and started ranting and raving about the witnesses and our "religion", tearing up our literature in front of my mum and my sister and I.  My mum was newly widowed, and I was a moody teenager who didn't really like that mum was studying with the witnesses.  However, this uncle's visit was a turning point, and opened my eyes to the truth.  When my uncle had ripped up all the literature he could get his hands on, he went for mum's Greek Orthodox Bible, which had a huge cross printed on the cover (there was no New World translation then).

 

Well, I thought, this is very wrong - wanting to tear up a Bible - even if you do think the religion is wrong.  Mum stood up to him with Jehovah's backing, and this really impressed me, and I later got the truth.  The uncle left us alone.  He later mellowed and became a very dear uncle again.  Jehovah softened his heart.  May your good example also help your relatives. 

 

Micah 7:6, 7  For a son despises his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his household.  But as for me, I will keep on the lookout for Jehovah.  I will show a waiting attitude for the God of my salvation.  My God will hear me."

Just watched again videos of last year's convention, it mentioned if we can show courage now, how much easier we will be courageous in the near future... You reminded me of the videos...
