Yes.
I was raised a witness and believed they had the only truth to be had for 40 years.
I made the truth "my own" by WANTING to learn, by WANTING to tell others about it, and by living it.
Many witnesses do not make it their own by leaving it for no good reason, by never being affected by what they hear, or by trying their best to live it. These ones have NEVER believed nor taken the time to learn what was available to them. These ones only go through the motions so as not to...... get into trouble by those in authority, to be liked by fellow witnesses, or to survive armageddon which they at least possibly believe in. They do not like being a witness but believe they must live the life as one just in case the witnesses have the truth.
