“HOW did you get the truth?” Is this a strange question to you?

Question

“HOW did you get the truth?” Is this a strange question to you?

Answer 1

Arioch May Jehovah Bless your efforts!

Answer 2

Alright, Arioch, I will tell you how I learned the truth but first would like to commend you for your zeal on this site in asking and answering many good questions here. Keep up the good work in sincerely assisting yet others to come to this accurate knowledge of the truth!

In 1982 I was in the Air Force and stationed in Great Falls MT. I had been in the service for nearly 7 years and was certain to do 20 years, at least, and retire. I had just married my wife in Alaska the year before and this was the first time that I lived off base. I had never before heard of JW's when a brother, who was pioneering, knock at my door and introduced me to the truth. At the time Pres. Reagan was talking about Armageddon and a 200.000,000 man army and calling the soviets an evil empire. So I asked this young fellow, he was 23 at the time and I was a few years older, what those terms meant as the Pres. indicated these things were in the Bible. He brought back the older books that were used to understand Revelation, The Finished Mystery and Babylon Exposed books. I devoured them and quickly asked for more while studying and hiding from him about half the time. He lovingly would leave messages that pricked my conscience saying how sorry he was that he missed me. Well after a few months of study in the "Truth That Leads To Everlasting Life" book, the book used at that time to teach new students, I new I had a choice to make.

I had to leave my job in the military, coming to the clear understanding that neither Jesus, nor his first century followers engaged in any of the politics or military endeavors of their day! Can you picture the Apostles with machine guns or flamethrowers trying to make converts? How about one of them with their finger on the button of a nuclear warhead?

I was a part of this countries war machine and knew I could not remain a member of this, or indeed any, countries armed force. I applied for a separation as a Conscientious Objector and was grilled for months and exhorted by many to remain in the service. I was relieved of my position as an instructor and training evaluator and had my secret clearance revoked. For the remainder of my time in the Air Force I was to clean the officers cars and mow the grass around the Commanders office. I did it happily. Finally after many months they finally let me out. The great love both my wife and experienced by the congregation in Great Falls has sustained us through many tough times these many years. My wife took a little longer to finally make the truth her own but she did in 1996.

Welcome to the family brother! Remain steadfast now that you have accepted the truth.

Answer 3

I was living in unassigned territory far away from everything and everybody.A young missionary had just been sent out from Bethel to do the territory and called on me.i accepted a study.She had to move on and turned me over to an older lady.THis lady studied with me for 8 years,if I moved she found me,I would smoke in her face and watch soap operas,but she still was very patient with me.She always seen that I had a wt subsciption and all the latest books.She would even drive 50 miles round trip in the snow.When I and my husband were baptized she was estatic. SHe taught me to be patient with others no matter how they react or what they say,maybe they are just having a bad day.She taught me to really love people.Being from a broken home,I never knew what love was.She was a wonderful kind person,later she helped me to get to assemblies and meet all the friends.Although she has been dead now for many years,I strive to be the person that she taught me to be.Congrats I am very proud of You.

Answer 4

I was one of the "born intos" as my parents and grandparents were JWs. Of course that means little as we all must make the study for ourselves individually in order to make the "truth of God's Word" our own. We must take it into our hearts to make the changes each of us must make individually to get in line with Jehovah's way of seeing things.



I did just that at an early age. I could easily see the illogic of the many beliefs in Christendom. Baptists, Methodists, Lutheran, Holy Rollers, etc. all had believers who could not explain why they believed as they did. They could not even make sense in trying to just explain them, much less scriptures to back up these beliefs.



With Jehovah's Witnesses, it is as natural as breathing to search the scriptures for what we believe. To know why and how we believe to understand the real Bible's viewpoint rather than something just dreamed up by men.



That said, I was only as nervous as usual in getting up before the class as I was going before the teachers and principal to explain why I believed differently from the rest of the school. I was the only JW in all of my schools. So I have never really known the feeling of backup in the faith.



I remember being a young kid using the King James Version and being so glad when the NWT came out. I would no longer have to translate 17th century English into modern English when talking to someone. Happy Days!!!

Answer 5

Good job on that decision, future brother of mine....



I got the Truth when I was 9, by my parents studying...I was out for a while, made my way back in '06....



EDIT: CalMom...maybe your right, but I wont admit that in public!!!

The folks were baptized in '63 so it had to have been '61 when all this started....

Answer 6

There is just not enough answers, I want to read more, I was under 5 when my parents came into the truth, I've never believed any other faith, I can't understand that once one knows the truth how they can leave, not saying we don't drift away, even when I was out in the world I would not have any part of pagan holidays, politics, and false beliefs, the one that I hated the most is how so many that profess to believe in the Bible go to physic, this is condemned in the Bible. When anything was said religious everyone said, don't ask Ken, once you get him going we will be talking the Bible all night, & we come here to drink & have fun, not talk religion. I've married twice, both my ex & my wife now are baptized Witnesses. I smoked, drank & ran around for over 30 years. Hot & cold, I tried to leave Jehovah, but you can't turn your back on Him, the truth has always been on my mind, I could never shake it. I thought for sure that my life would end in 75, then it came and went. I was married in 72, had my 1st child(a girl) in 75, boy did I get hit between the eyes with a baseball bat, I'm still alive, now I've got a little girl & my world was changing, it wasn't just me anymore, I wasn't ready for that(she is a full time pioneer in San Diego ). I started thinking about her & I started changing my thinking, now living forever meant something. I was 25 years old then, this year I'm going to be 60, both my daughters are married & in the truth, my oldest is in the fulltime work, my youngest is very spiritual minded & doing well. Most I would say 95% of my family on my mothers side are witnesses, my mother is now 88, and has 7 of us siblings(all witnesses), from us & counting us there is 103, children,grandchildren,great grandchildren,& great great grandchildren. Moms oldest great great is 15 years old. It all started with my mother getting out a book that was placed with her mother, my grand mother & giving it to my Dad because Dad was debating the Bible with his younger brother, Dad lost the debat, read the whole book that night, the rest is history.



Satan is going around like a roaring Lion, seeking to devour, keep the faith, put on a complete suit of armor, & ALWAYS trust in Jehovah, there's nothing He can't handle, & you will always be on the winning side.

Answer 7

I love asking this question of others. I have probably heard thousands of accounts in the past 50 years, each one as unique as the person who is relating it.



I took an elderly sister on a Bible Study with me, and asked her to relate how she came into the truth to the study. I had not heard the account so I was all ears.



It is a long account, but while the sister was living in Indiana back in the 1960's, two sisters would come to her house as a magazine call, trying to get her to study. They were not always the same two sisters.



The neighbor across the street, who was not on the best of terms with her, watched this activity, and after several months called the police on the magazine call, indicating to them that she was involved in some illegal activity.



Due to this phone call, the magazine call was surprised one day when two men came to her door from the FBI. They said they were there because she was being arrested for running a PROSTITUTE RING!!!



They took her to the police station and locked her up. No arrangements were made for caring for her children which she left at home. And her husband was out of town on business.



She called the Witness who was coming by her home with the magazines to come care for her children and to offer proof that she was getting these visits from the Witnesses.



The Witness found several brothers and sisters and they all drove to the police station 12 miles away to see what help they could offer.



Explanations were given, but the FBI said she had to spend overnight in jail till they could check out their accounts.



The next day, the magazine call was released, and no charges were made. She said she decided right then and there to study because if any group would be that persecuted and that innocent, she knew they had the truth. After moving to Kentucky 4 years later, she was baptized.



She is in her 80's and active in our congregation to this day.



By the way, the reason the neighbor thought that it was a prostitution ring was because all the women who would stop by were good looking and attractive in appearance and dress.

Answer 8

As a very young child I wanted to know God, and have a close relationship with him. I wanted to get baptized, but wanted to know first why we got baptized. Hypocrisy and a showy display of one's means was a turn off for me.



I was looking for a church that encouraged it's members to;



1) Read the Bible.

2) Spread the Gospel.

3) Accept all races without prejudice.



I didn't find the truth in the churches I had attended, but I did with Jehovah's Witnesses.



My life has been happy since. I don't feel like something is missing anymore. All my Bible questions have been answered. I learned something precious that I had never known before...that God has a personal name and that it's Jehovah.



I have found what I was looking for and more. The witnesses starting calling on me at the age of 8. I left my church at the age of 11.



Jehovah's Servant Girl



P.S. Congrats Dear Brother!

Answer 9

Congratulations brother. Don't you feel good about this decision? You'll remember the date your entire life. Mine is March 7, 1970.



I was 9 when mom bought the "Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained" book. I absorbed it like a sponge. By 10 or 11 I was studying Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation and going out in field service speaking to adults who knew nothing about God's word.



Beware, it made me smug. In my speech class at school I would begin a speech with "True Christians Do Not Celebrate Christmas" of course, I'd stir things up. This was in Costa Mesa, CA when the Calvary Church was just beginning and had a huge circus tent on Sunflower Blvd. The "Jesus freaks" (sorry, that's what everyone called the kids who went there) tried to discuss the Bible and though some were enthusiastic, they had no knowledge.



Why do I say beware? I enjoyed the head knowledge so much I neglected sinking it into my heart. I married, had children, got busy and drifted out of the truth. I didn't have a steady habit of BIBLE READING, PRAYER, and MEDITATION. When times got tough I didn't have a foundation strong enough to keep me in the truth. Knowledge is not enough. I was out 20 years! Jehovah was kind enough to coax me back. I am not making the same mistake again.



TEKMANTWO: If I was 9, you had to be 7. At 9, 4th grade, I was home with Rheumatic fever and mom got the paradise book from Richard Farr. It wasn't much later that us 6 kids studied with the Phelps. Maybe 9 was when you started paying attention :) You're right, this is fun! Sis

Answer 10

WOW my brother I thought you were already baptised by your questions and answers. My story is a little unusual. I have always been spiritual from a very young age attending sunday school even when my parents did not go to church I would find some way to get there. At the age of thirteen I became a communicant of the presbyterian church you have to study and go through questions and pass I was the youngest to pass in the church I attended. Then I started looking in depth into the bible and found some discrepancies in what I was learning I asked the minister and he could not answer my questions. 17 years old I dated a boy who's family were Jehovah's witnesses and I told him about it he said the witnesses could answer my questions. My mother had been getting magazines for years so I asked the sister who was bringing my mum the magazines if she could answer my questions and she suggested I have a study, I accepted and started attending meeting with my boy friend straight away at the book study they were doing the trinity brochure and that was one of the problems I had and immediately I knew i had found the true religion

Answer 11

Very good question, but my answer will be a long one.



I was raised Methodist. My dad was a Methodist preacher. He taught me of the pagan orgins of holidays and other things.



When I was 15, he was put out of the faith for teaching against homosexuality (gay marriage, practicing gay preachers, etc. the church was doing that).



We went to Assembly of God awhile, then left religion altogether.



In high school, my mother got me a weekend job babysitting the nursery school Sunday School class, and caring for the nursery during the main service. I had that preacher try to molest me at a members house (I was working for her during the week), dated the preacher after that and he had no morality either.



I got a secular college degree and a Baptist seminary degree (took a year of Koine Greek there).



I did 5 years of community theatre where I hobnobbed with all the preachers and big religion members.



Then I was sick of association with mainline religion. IN my secular degree, I'd studied many religion/culture history courses and knew more than holidays were pagan.



I left religion thinking never to return to any.



I had heard a lot of the Bible read and read the first part myself (I found God's name in the KJV children's copy I got at age 10....a long story how I got it, but Jehovah is at Exodus 6:3).



I knew some of the signs of the last days and thought we were living in it.



I did not truly know how to pray, etc. so one night I simply spoke outloud (didn't think angels could read our minds) and asked if there was a faithful angel around, could he go tell Jehovah that I wanted a PENPAL (yes, penpal) to tell me about Jehovah and his true religion????



About 3-4 weeks later, I got a penpal (Alice Wolfson, elderly sister in Oakland, CA area) who wrote to me.



She started admirably, but it was simply stuff I either already knew or felt true. She didn't get into the pagan orgin of things, deep differences between JWS/Bible and Christendom...so I was just argumentative for about 8-9 months until the end of Dec. 1986 when she sent me a truth book.



I read it in some 2 months and was 99% sure it was the truth (used KJV Bible). I got another KJV Bible that was easier to read with larger print.



Then I called the Kingdom Hall after I got done with a play.



Then I attended meetings and answered 3 questions my first one, all without ever having seen or read a WT (someone gave me the current one at the start of a meeting). They all thought I was a sister.



I had to say I'd never met a JW, never seen the mags and did not know what a study was.



It was set up with a sister, I studied 2 months before starting door work, and 2 more before becoming baptized. She soon realized I could handle more than 1 chapter a time so we went to 2. Then I asked for 2 studies a week so we did 4 chapters each week.



I read the KJV Bible in a month to answer to my dad who (preacher) has 12-13 degrees 4 of them in theology.



I've since read nearly all Bibles produced by either Protestants or R. Catholics. Not to mention using other references.



Those of you on here who know me have seen my research and answers.



I have been in the faith nearly 22 years as a baptized servant and collect many Bibles, references, Greek and Hebrew and Latin references, history, archaeology and more.



So that is the story....

Answer 12

well I remember as a kid I was rude, abnoxious, loud, and well stupid. After studying for about five years I started realizing that there was nothing the world could offer me so I slowly started making changes in my life until I could become an unbaptised publisher. By the time I was baptised I left all my old friends and started preaching like never before. Looking back I know what would of happened if i had not accepted the truth I might of ended up in jail because I used to hang around a bad group of people. Im glad I left all of that behind and dedicated my life to Jehovah. Now Im a more patient person and I care deeply about people and i do the right thing always

Answer 13

mine is pretty weird and a bit long.



I always went to sunday school when i was little because that was my culture. I learnt about different religions while growing up.



my stepdad was disfellowshipped in a different country and came over to the UK pretending to be Jehovah's Witness (like a lot of people on here). Because he wasnt a true witness of Jehovah, he didnt have the love or the kindness that most witnesses show and I didnt like him because he was one and I thought all witnesses was cold and horrible like him.

I went on holiday and my mom started attending meetings and was having a study. I strongly opposed because I thought she was going to turn into my stepdad. out of curiosity I visited a hall and found that they were lovely but i was still not interested.



my aunt died and i was deeply upset and started hating religion because my aunt had a 10 month old son when she died and i didnt understand why she had to die and leave him motherless.

I sat in on one of my mom's study and it was on the chapter 'Where are the Dead?' in the Bible Teach book.



I was 14 when I asked for a Bible Study and in Nov 08 i was baptised at 17.



My stepdad has recently been reinstated and is having a Bible study.



.



Congratulations on taking the step to get baptised and drawing ever more closer to Jehovah =)

Answer 14

When I was about 15 my mom was sitting around a card table with her female friends playing poker when a Witness knocked on the door. They invited her in..questioned the Witness sister and each week on that same day, same group they all got the truth but my mom. So the ones from the card game started calling on mom. That's when I heard it...from the other room...And pretty soon I was asking questions and sitting in on the discussions. Mom fussed and told me not to ask any more questions because they would be there all day and she had too much housework. She is still a clean freak but she finally got the truth.....a year after me.

About 6 years later a young woman came to my house and left the Watchtower and Awake and said she hoped I enjoyed them....The next week another Jehovah's Witness called on me. As she started to speak her 4 year old started to whine. She was thirsty. So I invited them in. She offered me a book ...The Truth that leads to Everlasting Life. I looked over at the magazines where I had put them a week before and hadn't touched them. I appologized. But she started asking questions from the book that I wanted the answers to so I asked her some questions. An hour later she had to go...I asked her would she come back...Then one day her husband talked to my husband and another study was started. Mine on Monday and his on Friday. They came faithfully until after we were both baptized. For them it was 50 miles one way. What love. 1972 was a very good year.

November 27, 1972, Chalmette, Louisiana



Welcome brother, we need good workers for the harvest. Congrats

Answer 15

What a good question to ask!



Unfortunately i dont have an exciting story to tell.



My mum began to study with witnesses when she was pregnant with me in 1985. At first she was scared of the witnesses but one day when it was raining she felt sorry for them and let them in. After one study she realized that what she was reading was amazing. She began to progress, scared that my dad would not want to study.



Once he agreed to a study, she was shocked to see that he immediately stopped his two pack a day habit of smoking. In time they both progressed and i can recall their baptism when i was four. I was so excited to see what i thought was my parents having a bath, that i fell down the stairs at the assembly. :)



In time my mums parents and my two uncles too got baptized.



In Feb 2001 both me and my older sister were baptized together.



I have another sister who is making progress and is a publisher and an little brother that loves Jehovah and hopefully as he gets a little older will become a publisher.



He is so cute, every time he calls me he asks if we can read the Great Teacher book together. I must admit that that book is fantastic for children, the pictures are great.



I'm happy to know that you are becoming a witness too.



Seriously speaking, with out the truth, life would be so miserable.

Answer 16

I've answered this question before, so if you've read it, bear with me. In the mid to late 60's, (yes I was there when dirt was created) I was a member of a group called a drum and bugle corp. (like a school band on steroids) My best friend was interested in a girl from another corp and she basically told him she wasn't interested as she had started studying the Bible and wanted to marry 'only in the Lord'. His reaction was "Who said anything about marriage? I only want to go out with you"! He wasn't ready to give up just yet, though. He continued to ask questions about her beliefs and then, one night, he and I were just cruising around and he asked me a question. "What would you say if I told you the story about Christmas is not in the Bible"? My reply: "I would say you're crazy since everybody knows it is". Then he said, "What if I could prove it"? I said "If you can PROVE it, I'll listen to whatever you have to say". When I look back, I seriously don't know if I would ever have learned the Truth any other way. So Jehovah knew what it would take to convince ME personally.

Debbie22: September 15, 1972 was a verry good day for me, if you know what I mean.

Answer 17

Yes, I echo Nikki Porter in saying: wow! I also thought you baptised, so let me add my personal wishes to you, dear future brother!



I am a little embarrassed to tell my story because it shows me up as being very narrow minded and stupid, but - well - here goes!



I suppose I had my first glimpse when my husband and I were around a friend's house and the conversation came around to religion! I was asked what I thought and just before I was about to answer negativily, for the first time ever, I had an intelligent thought! I said instead, I had no right to pass judgement on a book I have never read (despite being brought up as a catholic)! Then immediately asked my husband to get me a bible; I did not demand this; asked him nicely! He came back with one that the born agains use. Oh, how disappointed I was! All there seemed to be was violence etc! But then just by chance I came across the name: Jehovah - I was astonished!



Typically for me, I just went on as usual until a witness couple knocked at my door. I did feel terribly awkward and shy, but an article they showed me, made me forget my shyness! On hearing that I enjoy reading, they naturally urged me to accept a book: The Knowledge that Leads to Everlasting Live on a Paradise Earth. I accepted but decided that I probably would not read it!!!



Well, my curiousity got the better, especially with a title such as that, so I cautiously picked it up and started reading. I did not put that book down until I had finished it! I read it in 2 days and felt dazed with wonderment! I had - mentally - posed questions - sure that they would not be answered; I was happily wrong!



The brother and sister had promised to come back within a week but did not turn up until a month later! They explained why and together with my husband started to study the very book that they had given me!



We moved to another town and although had this knowledge, we tried to forget it. I am thinking it was fear of the unknown! I remember washing up at the time when I spotted a young man and woman! Embarrassingly, I thought they were debt collectors! We were not that bad, but where in the world!



The young woman just walked into my kitchen said hello and said who they were and that the brother and sister we had studied with had passed on our new address!



Sadly, the brother and sister were much young than us and behaved such, so we learnt early on to rely on Jehovah! It also came to a point that I had to choose between having a baby or Jehovah! The reason for this was because of having to go through: Artificial Doner Insemination! Well, we chose Jehovah, and I do not regret that decision although satan does taunt me with a congregation full of babies!!



To my defence with religion, I did not have a happy time being a catholic. I did have questions and even decided that I would stop reading the newspaper because of how awful it was. I thought that if I stopped reading the paper, then I would be doing my bit!



Since becoming a witness, I have matured greatly in my outlook and I do so thank Jehovah for showing me the truth and having this wonderful hope for the future.



I am also blessed with having a bible study! I live in France now and my student happens to be English!



Thank you for asking this question and of course, you are right that we always ask our brothers and sisters how they found the truth.



Bienvenue frere: welcome brother in French. I think I have the spelling correct?!



Suzanne in France



ps please excuse bad spelling; the spell checker does not seem to be working!!!

Answer 18

I grew up going to Catholic churches, but nominally, not regularly because we were not devout and my dad was not religious. He grew up Seventh Day Adventist but calls himself a "heathen" now.

I was not satisfied with Catholicism, and as a teenager did not go anymore with my mom or family, I thought it was boring and weird. I never got the trinity thing, and I thought religious people in general were weird. I still longed for a close relationship with God deep down though.



I was somewhat wild as a teenager and had a lot of scarring experiences. I slowed down down in my lifestyle and decided to focus on school and the future, and get away from bad memories and feelings. I eventually moved out of state to live with my grandmother.



My cousin also lived there. I planned to visit her. My grandmother warned me not to talk to my cousin about religion when I visited her cause she was a witness and my nana had many misconceptions about Jehovah's Witnesses. Well her advice backfired and sparked my curiosity. I asked my cousin many questions and she answered them from the Bible. We talked for hours. I went to a session of the D.C. with her a couple weeks later and went to visit relatives with her and read the literature I had got from the convention. I was convinced I had found the truth.



My grandmother and others were not happy at all! She said I could not live with her anymore. I went back to California, where I'm from to live with my mom again. I visited the Kingdom Hall that upcoming Sunday and requested a Bible study. I studied for about 10 months and was baptized July, 28th 2001. No regrets.



On a side note: My mom was upset, because my family had scared her by saying I was joining a "cult". I was still a minor (17). So she soon visited the hall with me to make sure everything was okay. She realized it was not a cult, and started studying too. She was so happy and wondered why she had never learned everything we know now in any other churches. She now knows why and is our sister also.

Answer 19

My husband started talking to his young nieces and nephews about 30 years ago. They could answer his questions from the bible as they were raised in the Truth. He came to me and started telling me the deep things of the bible. He hadn't concluded you had to start with the basics first. Anyway he aroused an interest within me and I started studying. I was baptised 6 months later in Ketchikan, Alaska on October 15, 1981. He will be baptized April 5th of this year in Johnson City, Tenn. I suppose long suffering pays off, don't you agree dear?

Answer 20

welcome brother. I am sure you are making Jehovah and Jesus real happy. my late husband and I where born Jewish and got baptized together in july 7 1990. we started going to the meetings in march of 1989 and raising our hands right from the beginning that people thought we where already baptized. I love Jehovah and Jesus so much and I tell anyone how awesome they are. if it was not for Jehovah and Jesus, I don't know how I would go on because my husband is sleeping in death five years. my youngest son was baptized in 2001

Answer 21

I was born in the truth.



It's good to know that you're making fine progress in your worship to Jehovah. Keep up your good work!

Answer 22

not strange at all. my parents were studying at the time my mom was pregnant with me. and before she met my dad she was studying. so i was born into the truth. and then decided later on to become one of J.W.s myself.

Answer 23

raised a witness.

Answer 24

Congratulations our dear brother Arioch!!! Welcome to the best way of life!!!

Answer 25

Well I was brought up in a Christadelphian home and attended Sunday meetings and when possible Sunday School. I was never pushed to do anything, in fact I was not baptised until my late twenties. I had plenty of time to look around and listen to other views but they all seemed and sounded hollow. None of them seemed to have an emphasis on what the LORD God actually said in the Scriptures. I would hear Church of England ministers sometimes imply and say that the Bible was in second place to their traditions. This I found shocking. Similarly with Mormans and Muslims who are programmed to believe in entirely different books which they reverance.



I shared a room on a course once with a lady who was a JW and she was more and more locked into the historical logic of dating what had happened and what was to happen. The '1914 syndrome' of so Christ hasn't come when we predicted so we move the goal posts. Now we are always being told of Jesus' 'invisible' presence. Not what we expect from Bible prophecy.



Also JW's, Catholics and I think Mormons and some Evanvelicals have this dreadful emphasis on a real live '*'Devil'*' and anyone who believes anything different from themselves is 'of the Devil' in their sight. Also, they are obsessed with 'hell fire' in all the discussions I have had with them. I believe these are more figurative and warning signs than literal places. Although, of course, there have been occasions in Biblical history when men who should have known better have literally been swallowed up when the wrath of God caused the earth to open. Having seen a programme tonight on a volcanic area with sulphuric springs in Nigeria, where they are measuring a great gassy opening in the earth's crust, anything is possible.



But to return to the subject, I believe that constant Bible study as a body of believers and reading the Bible every day by ourselves, rather than the interpretations of men, together with weekly rememberance of the sacrifice of Jesus in bread and wine, has shown me the truth as near as it is possible to get. Some things will only become totally clear when Jesus returns. Good fellowship with fellow believers is the cement that holds it all together.

Answer 26

I will tell you how I got the Truth (Jesus)

an actual and real experience

I was sitting in my living room and Jesus Christ became a reality to my left, Eternal Life became a realty to my right, they merged together to become one and I received it

Answer 27

A much better question is how is your question related to the "truth", exactly what do you mean by "truth", and does your definition of "truth" (assuming that you have one) have any meaning in this case.
