Pretty good rundown of how to become a Jehovah's Witness. One thing you may wish to mention is that you have to be prepared and willing to change your beliefs at the drop of a hat as the organization changes their minds on various issues. You need to be able to forget quickly what you were told before and then follow the new teaching. Many of the doctrines have changed or reversed over time. Been there done that. You also have to be willing to not hold a grudge if the change affected you adversely, like maybe having a relative die because they had to refuse a medical procedure, an organ transplant, or a blood component that was once forbidden, but now is not under the new rules. Don’t hold a grudge, just do as you are told and all will be well.

I really want to study but have no idea where to start. Becoming a JW is something I have wanted for a long time but I need guidance. Please could someone get in touch and give me an idea of where to start? Thanks -

the great crowd who inherit God's Kingdom that will come to earth is a wonderful promise from the Bible the heart motivates one to really look into the scriptures and search for truth. The bible is a gift of promises for a world that is a mess asking Jehovahs witness's to show you bible promises from your own bible or the New Worlds translation is what motivates anyone to change and want to dedicate thier life to the true God and share the good news. It took me 3 years of asking questions, struggling to change and apply the truth in the bible before I got baptised as one. force was not in the equation - being imperfekt everyone goes at thier own pace- we are all works in progress and holy spirit with our heart condition being open can do wonders

i,m glad when people try to ridicule us because Jesus went through the same and so the true religion today. we do not fellow doctrines, but we made the truth our own by studying the bible and making sure that whatever we fellow is nothing but the truth. personal study and prayer is encourage here.you need to be very humble and deep love in order to be a JW.Because it involves a lot. you need to invest in a lot of effort to earn a university degree. to gain everlasting life you need much effort to gain the accurate knoweldge of Jehovah.is not just every sunday attendance in church.
