All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Please pray for them and that I don't deny Christ

It is time. I'm tired of being afraid of the JWs and what could happen.I need to ask for prayers [naturally for my parents since they're in this situation but also for the JWs]. And please pray the Holy Spirit gives me strength to confess Christ at all costs. It could cost me alot but it could cost others more. I know this could end up costing me my life or I could just end up homeless. And if the elder's wife finds out I communicate with other Christians online she may convince mom to make it to where I'd be forbidden to get online and talk to you guys.

I don't know what is going to happen to me. But I had to mention the above things because I have to count the costs. For I know any of the above could happen after the JWs find out what I believe,what I have done online,what I know about their organization than there will be trouble. Life as I know it will change forever.

That's why I need your prayers that He gives me strength so I don't deny Jesus no matter what. Even if it means my life.

There is no turning back. The costs have been counted and I know the Holy Spirit will guide me through this.

I need to draw closer to the Lord and study the scriptures. I read atleast 1 or 2 chapters a day but I really need to get to actually studying. I'm on Numbers earlier in the day and the gospel of John [I really need to stop being lazy when it comes to Bible reading at night. It's not good to be lazy and hold off a chapter in John thinking I'll get to it later/tomorrow.] I know the Lord has already forgiven me of my laziness though. I asked and I know He forgave me [1 John 1:9]. He convicted me and has forgiven me.

King James Bible
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Praise God! I was asking questions on an ex-JW forum and found out because I haven't been baptized the JWs have no jurisdiction over me.

Do the JWs consider you a "student" or "associate?"

I don't know. What is the difference?

I was just wondering, in light of your comment, expressing relief and joy that "the JWs have no jurisdiction over me." I inferred from this you were under the impression you might or could have been, and I wasn't sure why you might think that. Needless to say, I share your sense of relief. You're one of God's children, and the JWs can't change that.

Mom and I studied with them since back in 08. The study finished a long time ago. They still came around but the elder stopped visiting. His wife very rarely comes [one reason was because she couldn't open the gate we got but mom taught her I think in Aug. how to open it]. Neither mom or I have been baptized.

I guess one reason I felt I was under jurisdiction because they seemed to have control over mom and I felt intimidated. I felt intimidated over the control in that religion.

Please pray for them and that I don't deny Christ
