| .: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.

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

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

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.

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. Click

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

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) |

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.

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. Click

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. Click

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

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! Click
