Summary

I was raised from a very young age as a Jehovah’s Witness, surrounded by door-to-door preaching, tightly controlled meetings, and an unyielding system that promised eternal life only if I conformed perfectly. As I grew older, the constant pressure and the confusing, cult-like doctrines left me with a deep sense of uncertainty and isolation. I eventually reached a point where I began questioning if I would ever be β€œgood enough” to earn salvation according to their teachings. In a moment of desperate prayer, I asked God for a real and personal encounterβ€”one that would break me free from the rigid confines of their doctrines. To my amazement, God answered that prayer. I discovered that true salvation is found not through human rules or perpetual obedience to an institution, but through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Now, as a born-again Christian, I strive to share my testimony, urging others to seek the liberating truth of the Gospel. Despite the loss of the familiar support network that JW culture once provided, I have found enduring hope, identity, and eternal assurance in Christβ€”reminding us that only His love and truth can transform our lives.
