How Can I Have Jehovah's Approval?

On the road to Paradise, have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, you’re not measuring up?

Oh, you attend Kingdom Hall and plaster a smile on your face as if to say, “Everything’s fine…” but in your conscience, you know that you do not have Jehovah’s approval upon your life.

“ ‘Everyone thought I was this happy and vivacious full-time minister. I was always the one to help others with their problems. At the same time, though, I felt as if I were dying inside. Disquieting thoughts and mental anguish were taking a toll on me. I started to feel alienated from people. I just wanted to stay home in bed. For months, I begged Jehovah to let me die.’—Vanessa” —The Watchtower, June 1, 1997, p. 24 Read How to Have Jehovah's Approval Upon Your Life.

Disfellowshipped But Saved By Jehovah!

You might have seen her in the Kingdom Hall. You know that young, pretty sister with “all those kids.” The one who struggled to raise her children “in the truth” alone. The one who was rarely considered as “wife material” because she was “damaged goods.” Disfellowshipped for being raped, Anne Marie finally felt free... How could this be? Had she not been taught since age five that the Watchtower organization was “the Truth”? Finally, she found the real truth behind “the truth” and found joy in Christ that she had longed for all her life. Read Anne Marie's Story out of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Is There Life and Freedom Outside the Watchtower?

Jehovah's Witnesses are tired and sit on the bus to the new world with their “tickets to salvation.” They all seem to believe the driver’s announcement “We will be on our way soon.” Getting off the bus is humiliating, and every eye looks at you like you’re out of your mind. After the exit, one finds that the adjustment on the solid pavement is not easy, cause you have not learned the “right lessons” for salvation and must start over with just your love of Jehovah and a hollow feeling of guilt. Read True Freedom Out of the Watchtower.

Chris' Story	Tammie's Story
Growing up as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, Chris aspired to serve at the Canadian Watchtower Branch headquarters, but in an attempt to solidify his faith as a devout Jehovah's Witness, Chris researched the history and doctrines of the Watchtower only to find major discrepancies between the Society's claims and the Bible. Loosing his family and the only friends he had to the Watchtower, where was he to go? Through the help of TRUE Christian friends, Chris found love, acceptance and eternal assurance in Christ. Read Chris' Story out of Jehovah's Witnesses.	Raised by Jehovah's Witness parents (her father an elder), Tammie was confident she was in the only true religion. Pioneering in her 30's (spending at least 90 hours per month), she reported an average of 10 "Bible studies" and placed 100's of Watchtower magazines and books monthly. As a skilled debator, Tammie gave frequent "talks" and "demonstrations" at Theocratic Ministry School from age 7. She was considered the model "Witness" by her family and friends, until the conditional love she had embraced failed and everything in her life fell apart. Only in Christ, did Tammie find what she had been looking for. Read Tammie's Story out of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Trish's Story	Frank's Story
Born and raised Jehovah's Witness for 42 years, she experienced first-hand the hypocricy that exists in the legalistic environment of the Watchtower organization. After suffering years of abuse in her Jehovah's Witness marriage and failing to live up to every expectation of the Watchtower, Trish divorced her JW husband, telling him that he could have custody of the religion, and she was keeping the kids! Living in limbo with no religious affiliation to claim, God in His mercy and grace opened Trish's eyes to the Truth. Read Trish's Story out of Jehovah's Witnesses.	Raised as a Jehovah's Witness, Frank questioned the rigid legalism and hypocrisy he witnessed in the Watchtower organization. As he sought to perform according to Watchtower standards, he felt as though he was serving man. Thanks to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and the loving support of Christian family members outside of the Watchtower, Frank found the REAL Jesus and is experiencing true spiritual freedom daily in the Word of God. Read Frank's Story out of Jehovah's Witnesses.
David's Story	Renee's Story
Raised as Jehovah's Witnesses in England and spending 49 years as Watchtower captives, David and his wife Christine left to find true freedom in Christ. Going where the "need was great," David had served in a number of leadership capacities within the organisation, only to find his efforts rewarded with unjustified shunning and a genuine "lack of love" among the "brothers" and "sisters" of the congregation. Only in a personal relationship with the Jesus, did they find what they had been longing for all their lives. Read David's Story out of Jehovah's Witnesses.	Growing up as a Jehovah's Witness was not easy for Renee as she was hated by her small town peers and had no friends. Marrying a Jehovah's Witness man and engaging in full-time door-to-door activity, Renee worked hard for Jehovah God's approval only to find her dreams dashed to pieces when her Jehovah's Witness husband left her for another man and the Watchtower responded by disfellowshipping her along with her ex-husband on "hearsay" accusations alone! "How could You do this to me?" Renee cried out to God. His answer came in the most unexpected way. Read Renee's Story out of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Testimonials

They are all there for me!

“I had Jehovah’s Witnesses visiting for six years. … The sad thing is now I have their beliefs in my head. So I put myself into God’s hands and asked for direction. …Well, the feeling of freedom is amazing. I am like a child, learning again for the first time. The reason I had to write to you was the Karen and Cindy conversations. Instead of me asking for help, one question at a time, they are all there for me!! It seems as if ‘Karen’ could read my mind.

It’s so lovely for things to fall into place, mainly that ‘What happens when we die?’ This was a very big issue for me. I was scared while I did not understand even the tiny bit I do now. It’s such a joy. Instead of feeling unworthy(were all sinners I know) and feeling I would never be saved or go to Heaven. So, please thank God and Jesus with me for such help.”

I have to tell you how your website saved my life.

“I have been a baptized Witness since 1995, and I have to tell you how you have saved my life. Every couple of years I get this gnawing sense that this is not quite right, that I am not 100% vested in what the Watchtower Society says. …Lately, I have stopped attending meetings and my daughter, 13, has begged me not to make her go back. So I have been praying and chatting with friends outside the organization…

…I can’t tell you my sense of relief when I stumbled upon your site and started to read the articles. I want to cry, but I’m at work. I can’t wait to get home because I am so excited I can barely stand it! Please, please, how can I meet others who feel this way? I sure could use the fellowship. Again, thanks for the work you do.”

God bless you for the difference you are making.

“My brother and I were raised by a Jehovah's Witness mother. I am 52 years old now and still haven't been able to shake the stigma of the experience. My brother wasn't as lucky as me and ended up taking his own life at 17. I have been through everything ... I can't express how much I appreciate what you are doing... God bless for the difference you are making.”

I do not feel so alone!

“Thank you for creating this website. After reading stories of former Jehovah's Witnesses, I do not feel so alone. My resolve to stay out of that religion has also strengthened. I have also come to realize that my depression, anxiety, and many other emotional scars inflicted by the organization and those in the ‘truth’ will take time to heal. But your website has also come to help me ... Thank you.”

Just as I was about to enter the Jehovah’s Witnesses again, God led me to your website.

“Hi…I am an Ex-Jehovah’s Witness from South Africa. ...I left the Jehovah’s Witnesses not because I did not agree with their beliefs, but because my wife could not handle it with me being a Jehovah’s Witness and she not. I became an anti-religious person. Then, just as I was about to enter the Jehovah’s Witnesses again, God led me to your website… Today, I prayed to Jesus for salvation after I read your article on your website…”

I’m so glad that I have run across this site.

“After reading the article that David Reed wrote on your site, I’ve looked at things in ‘a new light’ so-to-speak. ...I’m so glad that I have run across this site. I’m sure that it was the Holy Spirit that directed me to all of you!”

Your website is a great source for truth

“Your website is a great source for those seriously seeking the truth.… The Jehovah’s Witness elders shun me. I’ve known these guys for 30 years... Well, when I walk into the Hall they turn their backs to me. I have not seen my Jehovah’s Witness ex-wife, or daughter for two years. ...They hide my family from me. When I go to their homes, they smile with arms folded and say nothing.

The stories I read at your website were loud and clear - conditional love by the ‘brothers’! I have learned more in the Christian Church about unconditional love than 30 years as a Witness. When I accepted Christ, who He really is, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to see both sides clearly. ...Without the Holy Spirit it is impossible to know the real TRUTH! Keep up your good work.”
