wow some of these responses are harsh. lotus i hope you arent offended but if you do some research, reading and listening you will realize that you are being decieved by an organization that is not what it claims to be (ie. gods people). they are a mind control organization (a cult) no different than any other.
the reason people here have been so direct and perhaps even rude to you is because we are all recovering from having spent years, even our whole lives in a cult. its hard to recover and people that come in spouting the stuff you wrote in your post here can make it even harder. the words you write (ie. the 'sheep w/out a shephard' crap) are not your own words from 'you', they are what you have been deeply programmed to say. you dont know that, you'd never believe it in a million years but its true.
no one (or almost no one) here believes that jehovahs witnesses are anything more than what they are (a cult). and you will NEVER convince us of it. so dont bother trying ok?
if you opened your heart and mind and regained control of your own independent thinking ability you would read whats being said, read the proof and realize that you have been decieved all these years. its very sad but its true. we were all decieved. there are ex mormon support groups all over the world for people who left the mormons after being convinced they were the 'only true religion'. we are NO different from them except we didnt have to wear funny clothes.
lotus, you arent annointed. you are brainwashed. break free. think for yourself. why wont they let you read and research? what are they afraid you will find? you came here so you might as well go all the way. order Crisis of Conscience and read it. Learn the truth about the 'truth'.
