Witnesses for Jesus, Inc

.:WITNESSES FOR JESUS EMAIL MINISTRY TEAM

THE VOICE OF HOPE!

If you're a Jehovah's Witness or Latter-day Saint who is contemplating leaving or has already left your religion, you are not alone. Our ministry volunteers are former Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons who understand what you are going through and are committed to lending spiritual and emotional support as you work through the perplexing questions of life after your experience in these religions.

If you're looking for a support group that is more one-on-one and private than on-line chat rooms available on the internet, then our email support network is for you! We are devoted to God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. We do not look to an earthly, man-made organization for spiritual truth and guidance but rest completely in the authority of God's Word the Bible and the guidance of His Holy Spirit.

If you have questions about God, the Bible, Christian churches, religion in general, or just need someone who understands what you're going through, please email our team volunteers below. Even if you have never been involved in the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons, but you have questions and would like help in reaching someone who has been involved, our volunteers would be happy to help any way they can.

FORMER JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES (Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses)

	Ashton S – She was born and raised a third generation Jehovah’s Witness. Her adoptive father was an elder for 17 years and her mother was considered one of the anointed. She went door-to-door full time, but to get out of an abusive situation in her home, at 23 years old, she moved in with her boyfriend and was disfellowshipped. Lost and lonely, she turned to the Word of God and found the “Truth” in a personal relationship with Jesus. Click HERE to read Ashton's Testimony. (www.4jehovah.org)
	Tammie S - 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. Click HERE to read Tammie's Testimony. (www.4jehovah.org)
	David H - 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. - Click HERE to read Dave's Testimony. (www.4jehovah.org)
	Trish V - Born and raised Jehovah's Witness for 42 years, she experienced first-hand the hypocracy 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 of Who Jesus really is! Surrendering all to Him, she found the peace and joy she had been looking for all her life, and He even blessed her with a gentle and loving Christian husband to care for her.

	Chris S - 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.

	Anne Marie - 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. Click HERE to read Anne Marie's Testimony. (www.4jehovah.org)
	Pam - Growing up as a Jehovah's Witness in a broken home, all Pam ever knew was rejection. An absent father, a distraught mother who said she “regretted” the day she was born, disfellowshiped, Pam felt alone and that even God had rejected her! No one seemed to care, and what's worse, Armageddon was due to come in 1975. She sought reinstatement, but the shunning was too much for her. When the end didn't come, she wondered what else they had lied to her about. Pam thought, “I need to find out the truth!” In 1978, Pam found true salvation in Jesus and began a clown ministry. God took the little girl who was never allowed to celebrate anything and made her into a clown who gets to celebrate everything all the time! Click HERE to read Pam's Testimony. (www.4jehovah.org)

FORMER LATTER-DAY SAINTS (Ex-Mormons)

	Rob B - I was born into an LDS home and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. In my teenage years, I became disillusioned by the inconsistencies I found within the LDS Church. For many years, I believed that I didn't need God in my life, but yet I still considered myself a Mormon. Finally, my search for the truth about God and what He has to offer led me to the REAL Jesus of the Bible. After I accepted the Lord, I was able to help lead Laura (my future wife at the time) to the Lord. Click HERE to read Rob's Story. (www.4mormon.org)
	Mary O - I was drawn to the Mormon religion because they had answers to the questions I was asking. Their answers seemed logical and something I could wrap my life around. The religion was very structured and that suited my personality quite well. My husband and I were sealed in the temple. For at least 13 of my 15 years as a Mormon, I carried and regularly used my temple recommend. At one point, I even served as the Stake Young Women's President, but when I got divorced, the Church excommunicated me. Then, God got my attention and I became a true adopted child of God.

	Matthew R - One day, I felt an overwhelming desire to know Christ. So, I picked up my copy of the Book of Mormon and started to read it. The first thing that I noticed was a picture of Jesus Christ with his hands on top of the head of the Apostle John ordaining him. It was a powerful picture! I wanted what I had seen in the Mormon missionaries who had visited me. For 9 years, I was active in Mormonism and even served a mission for the LDS Church. Then, I discovered the truth about Joseph Smith. I realized that I had been deceived and that the reason I felt empty was because I was looking toward a religion to fill a gap that only a personal relationship with Christ can fill.

	Daniel V - I grew up in a splinter group of Mormonism called the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Community of Christ or RLDS). It taught a "feel good" spirituality. When they could not answer my questions, I gave up on "religion" altogether and believed that nobody had answers. But God had other plans. Through Bob, a Christian who took his faith seriously, I found what being "saved" and "born again" is all about. Click HERE to read Daniel's Story. (www.4mormon.org)
	Bev W - I was born and raised LDS in the state of Idaho. My family heritage goes back to the Prophet Joseph Smith. For 40 years, I struggled to find answers to my spiritual questions... No one could answer my questions in a way that seemed right, and I was told by the Mormon Church that I did not have enough “faith”... My spiritual journey is amazing! No one can take you by the hand and show you the way except Jesus. It's a Relationship —not a Religion, not a Church— but a Relationship with the Lord that is the way to eternal life with God!
