It's a Good Thing I Didn't Hold My Breath

In my last post, I mentioned my Jehovah's Witness friend who told me he would return the following Saturday to speak with me. It's a good thing I didn't hold my breath; he never came.

However, this last weekend two ladies knocked on my door. One had been a Jehovah's Witness for 28 years; the other had been involved for 32 years.

I asked one lady why she had joined the Jehovah's Witnesses. She told me that she had been a Baptist but learned that the pastor had a mistress. Not only that, pastor had fathered children with the mistress.

The lady told me that a man who was violating God's commands could not help her to know God better. Therefore, she left the organization. She didn't explain the details of what occurred next, but the end result is that she began to study the Bible with the Jehovah's Witnesses and came to believe that the Witnesses had the correct understanding of the Scriptures.

When a pastor lives an immoral life, there's no reason for someone to reject the Savior. A better option would be for the church to hire a new pastor.

Her decision is a bit like having a bad meal at a restaurant and deciding never to eat again. There are other options.
