Interview with Steve Hays on Hurting to Healing with Melissa

I AM EXCITED FOR THIS ONE! Interview with Steve Hays (Stevo) from Happy Life.

Stevo is who God made me. H.E.L.P. is what God has called me to do. Years ago, when I was released from my career job, I asked God what He wanted me to do with my life. He gave me a super clear picture of the acronym H.E.L.P. He then explained it. “I am sending you out to H.E.L.P. others by bringing Healing, Encouragement, Laughter and Ponder to the people I send you to.”

Guilty As Charged = Disfellowshipped

Years later I'm still feeling guilty.  I am charged guilty and I agree. The charge, fornication according to the Jehovah’s Witness Organization. Guilty of having sex before marriage. There is no way to hide it, I am pregnant.

I stood guilty as charged. GUILTY AS CHARGED = DISFELLOWSHIPPED.

Releasing Guilt on Hurting to Healing with Melissa

"Thou salt not... "I don't recall hearing about the Father's love or how to live the Christian life.  What I learned was that a wrathful God would punish me if I didn't follow all the rules.  And there seemed to be rules for everything-including what I could read, what I could wear, and what I could do."

DISFELLOWSHIPED - Guilty As Charged

VOICE ~ Compelling Voices ~ Courageous People ~ Hurting to Healing with Melissa

Totally convinced she was raised "in the Truth," active in the Watchtower organization, even avoiding college so that she could put Jehovah first, Ali reached out to a struggling Jehovah's Witness in hopes of bringing him back to the meetings.  When he replied to her questions with a list of problems and scandals within the Watchtower organization, she learned for the first time that the Watchtower had been involved as an NGO with the United Nations (which they consider the Beast of Revelation) and the Watchtower's cover-up of sex abuse cases, exposed by the Australian Royal Commission.  As she continued to study the problems her Ex-JW friend was sharing with her, she started asking questions to the elders, only to end up being rejected by the elders and scorned for her questions. Going into depression, Jesus met her in a dream.
