How do Jehovah’s Witnesses shaped my view of spirituality?

They believe that the only safe thing is to give him absolute adoration. This is a God that could ask you to kill your own child, and you must do it. He's a very very vengeful God. So that's the my first bit of religion. I'm going to keep talking on the next swell about my upbringing

And from there, I went from door to door. And again, my fearlessness really played into it. I began to enjoy going from door to door and actually looking for fights, so to speak, verbal fights. You know, Jehovah witnesses believe that every other faith is from the devil and that anybody who is not a Jehovah witness, who is spiritual is filled with demons. And so you can't take anything from them

But the one time that really struck me was when we went to midnight mass at Christmas time. And the ritual of that service to this day strikes me. We all had candles lit the church. Any electrical power was turned off, and the church was lit with nothing but candles. And then here comes the priest, and he's using sensor, I believe, and he's sprinkling water on all of us

Best blessing. Jeremiah, I think it's very important that you continue to share. Thank you for sharing. There's so many misunderstandings about relationship with God, and it is so necessary. And we're living in a time when all kind of guards are up and shields are up, and the whole idea is to cause confusion and keep people from landing somewhere that's going to give them absolute security. And every testimony helps. And yours, this particular league, pointing in the right direction so far

Hey, I really like, Mister Jeremiah, how you are describing your relationship to Jesus and how you were initially introduced to God. And isn't it wonderful that there are different ways that we can give him praise? I don't have anything against the Jehovah Witnesses. My daughter and my son in law are Jehovah Witnesses. And I struggle with that sometimes only because I know that there is another way. Not that they're doing anything wrong

And I know my relationship and my beliefs have definitely changed throughout the years, so I always like hearing other people's viewpoints and their truth. It's very intriguing to me. So thank you for this. I really, really appreciate it. Have a good day. Bye
