Hi there,
Well, in a nutshell, I was brought up in the Truth, and left some 11 years ago before getting baptised. I needed to see what was out in the world that I was told was so bad.
My upbringing made me see that there were token witnesses out there and I needed to know for myself whether I was missing anything
Its been a long time now, and my heart keeps pulling me back to wanting to serve Jehovah. My life has pretty much gone from bad to worse since being away from him, and well, I need to do something about this. I know I wont be happy until I fill the void in my heart.
Not sure why I am on here, back in the day, speaking about this kinda stuff on the net was frown upon by the Elders. I dont know if that is still true nowadays.
What I guess I am asking is, how do I take the leap and start going back to meetings and breaking away from my worldly life. I have been back a couple of times, but I guess im just to scared to commit. Too scared to leave behind what I have known for so long, and to make those drastic changes in my life, even tho I know its what I need to do?
Im expecting to get lots of "get the elders in contact with you and start a study" kind of answers. But what I am really looking for here is how do you change the mind?? how do I get up the courage to ask all those questions I had doubts on before, how do I say, this is where I want to go.... how do I fight off satan coz, just by me typing this I can bet by tomorrow so many things will be thrown at my feet to keep my mind in this world...........
