Scarred for life
About 8 years after leaving the JWs, I joined a Presyterian Church. I felt the need for spiritual leadership in my life to keep me on the right road. But I wanted no "rules" and I wanted to be able to think and read and question and discuss different interpretations of the Bible. I have since been a member of another Presbyterian Church and for the last 13 years I have been a member of a Methodist Church.
I find it to be a loving, accepting place in the community. The church is active in reaching out to the needy in the local community. I like the local mission aspect of my church.
I don't feel that I have to agree or believe in exactly the same thing that everyone else does.

The person that caused me to question my beliefs in the watchtower is born again. I went from finding out that the watchtower did not have the truth as I had believed my whole life, to saying the prayers that I thought I needed to say about being born again.I guess I became born again, but I did not feel a immediate bolt of lightning change in my life or anything. I tried several churches, mostly non denominational, because I thought I would be better accepted for wanting to still hang on to a few watchtower beliefs. Right now I am not sure if there is a god. I prayed that God would just talk to me. Say anything to me. But I never heard a reply. I figure if God is as all powerful as claimed by so many, than at least he should be able to muster up enough to speak to me. Crazy thoughts from me, huh?
