putting God first also means putting yourself to the side. dont think about me,me,me. thats not what its about. dont think about your wife, husband, sister, brother think Jesus Christ Gods kingdom first. Then all things will be added to you. Be available to God at all times. You will be blessed and have patience, stay in prayer. ask God what does he want you to do. Sometimes it seems he is not there but be assured he is. God works in his time not on our time. Hang in there

You must first have faith and believe in Jesus Christ. You must say the sinners prayer. Repent from your sins. Romans 10:9 is where you ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and lead your life. You are saved at this point and get baptised to show publicly your dedication to God and have God's Holy Spirit, which Jesus spoke about as our helper. The Holy Spirit helps you to understand the Bible.
The Holy Spirit also helps you pray to God and trains you in the ways of God. Once you have done all of this with a sincere heart you read your bible and study it day and night. Join a church and fellowship with fellow believers. This helps to build your faith and encourage one another. Matthew 28:18-20 tells us also to go out and make disciples so that others may also get this life saving information and live a glorious life as you will. It wont be easy you will carry your cross just as Jesus did but at least you know you can go to Jesus and his Father and ask them to increase your faith and strenghten you on your walk.
See the difference with being a christian and a jw is that you may go to Jesus Christ as your mediator to God. Not the wts. You do not need them to mediate between you and God. 1 Timothy 2:5 There is only one God, and Jesus Christ is the only one who can bring us to God.
Reading you Bible will reveal the truth,Jesus Christ, not the wts, and you will be set free knowing Christ.
You cannot do anything to earn salvation. Your faith is what is required. If you could do anything to earn it the Jesus died for nothing. Ephesians 2:8-9, You were saved by faith in God, who treats us better than we deserve. This is God's gift to you, and not anything you have done on your own. It isnt something that you have earned, so there is nothing you can brag about.
once you have gone through this process your heart will be moved to do good things, but just remember these things dont save you. You just want to serve God in all the ways he allows you. Live a peaceful God filled life. Only worship him. Put him first in your life. No one else for he is a jealous God.

beating alcohol is just like winning against our enemies. if you have Christ, he can help you win any battle, seek help from professionals. your children deserve a clear thinking mom at all times. they really need you

Proof that WT literature is not needed...
by The Last Nephilim ini have recently come to fully appreciate what is stated at 2timothy 3:16, 17 (nwt).
it clearly declares that nothing is needed outside of the bible in order for a person be be "fully competent" and "completely equipped" for "every good work".
how can anyone, especially the wts, claim that the bible alone is not enough after reading these scriptures?

What's wrong with the WTBS in a nushell.
by JeffT ini realized the other morning that it was twenty years ago that i started my exit.
at the spring 1988 circuit assembly (i think it was in february or march) they absolutely hammered on the point that higher ed was a waste of time.
armageddon was going to happen any day now and there was no point in preparing for life in system that was about to end.
