    Hi Gang:

    This article was published in the local Sheboygan Press newspaper this morning on my conversion from the JWs to the Catholic Church.

    Here is the link:

    Nice article. I was wondering what prompted the move and job change.

    It's a good thing you found something you truly believe in and not something you were forced into believing as a child. Even though I do not believe in your religion (Or any Abrahamic religion for that matter), good luck on your journey!

    I'm from next door in MN, the weather is great!

    J is a nice guy. Have talked to him many times in chat. Its good he found something that makes him happy. And as far as his wife was concerned, it sounds like they stuck with it by each other's sides and got on with thier lives after being in JWland all thier lives.

    Sincerely,

    The good professor is correct about God's love being conditional among JWs.

    Salvation can turn on somethings as insignificant as wearing a beard or not.

    I would have to say that the most logical and reasoned Christian apologetics I have read have been by Catholic sholars also.

    Though I'm not ready to become Catholic!

    Hi Jeff,

    Nice article. I, too, have been on both sides of the "fence." I support your decision all the way. Since April 18 was Divine Mercy Sunday, it must have been a special occasion and celebration for you. Mercy, indeed, plays a central role in Catholicism.

    "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." Matt. 5:7
