Hi folks! Sometime ago Cal posted an article I authored "Jesus Never Preached About Life On A Paradise On Earth". I received comments on it soon thereafter and the topic was also being discussed here in in a local Bible study group. I felt lead to publish the information in a booklet form. I then just leave it up to the Lord to circulate as He has done with my testimony book. Lighthousekeeper has a uncle who is a retired minister who lives in Canton, Ohio and he recently inquired of me on several topics about the how's, why's, and what about's of the Watchtowwer Society. I sent him a e-mail version of the booklet. He replied with that he was going to have 1,000 copies! printed of it -all without charge to us! Blessings indeed from the Lord!!! Sometimes I fret over how I will get stuff published as we live on an Ontario Disability pension, yet as He promises, God always makes the way possible. Just wanted to share that Praise Report with you all.

I am praying now about direction to publish an addendeum to it already, expalining how the Watchtower Society has misapplied their so called "proof texts" trying to get scriptural support for that doctrine, that the earth will be restored to paradise for non-heaven bound Jehovah's Witnesses to reside on forever.


I'll have a supply of the booklets at WNFJ in Ocotber.

Blessings;

It is truly glorious how the Lord blesses our efforts to help those in need. Great job Life After. How do we here in the States go about ordering these? I think it would be something to "trade" with the Witnesses who come to our doors. You know, "I'll take your Watchtower but only if you promise to read this information I have for you." Either they will stop coming by, or they will take it and not read it, or, they may just read it, and a seed is planted for the Lord. In Him everything is possible! What about your testimony book? Is it the same information that is here on the website, or is it more extensive? Maybe you could promote it here on the website (if that's okay with Cal, of course). I'm sure many would be blessed reading about how the Lord has taken you out of the darkness and brought you into His Precious Light!

God bless,

Mrs. R

Thank you for the encouragement Mrs. R. The booklets will be available by August 1, and available for the cost of mailing, likely around $2.00 US.
I personally do not profit from the booklets, and anything I do receive to cover cost is exactly that, put into covering costs of the ministry. I'll let you all know when they are stapled and ready to go. I used to absorb the mailing cost but these cost have risen here in Canada significantly over the last two years.

I self-publish as it keeps cost low, but the items are professionally proof read and presented.

I did have my testimony book in its entriety on the site for awhile, but what is there now is just the testimony from the home page. It costs me about $10 US to copy and bind the testimony book, (over 80 pages, 8 1/2 X 11, plus photograph pages as of June 1, 2005; 20 chapters) They are available on request and from the time I receive the cost donation, I usually mail it out within a week. The title is "Refuge And Release From The Watchtower Society". Should you wish one just notify me by e-mail.

Blessings;

God is truely working through you to get His message out, Chris. I do hope I can attend the WNFJ convention this year. I am looking forward to be able to meet you and Beth (and Cal, Jean, Doug, etc.) in person.

I'm not as savvy as you guys, or Mrs R, in preaching. The only thing I can do is educate people on the beliefs of the JWs. I do this alot and many people are surprised when they hear what the JWs believe in regards to the 144,000, why they don't celebrate birthdays, etc. Although I wouldn't be able to "beat" a JW in a "preaching match", I've made my donation to society by educating some into not becoming a part of that cult.

And to think the JWs believe they are the only ones who preach!!

You know, I've heard of this place in Brooklyn that has been very successful in printing massive amounts of pseudo-religious material. Maybe they'd be willing to publish your book for you....



I don't consider myself "savvy" in preaching. Most times the words just come out of my mouth and I even shock myself. It's not us, it's the work of the Holy Spirit, which is why you have been able to steer people away from the WT without even trying. You certainly are doing your part and Jesus smiles down on you for it.



Yeah, right! That's what they want the members to believe. Of course, they can say they are the most frequent at the doors. But that isn't the only way to preach the Gospel. As a matter of fact, when do you read that Jesus or the Apostles were going "door to door"? When the Bible speaks of them preaching in homes, it is to families when one person has shown interest (see for instance Acts 16:27-33). Usually, though, Jesus and His Apostles preached in public, in the synagogues. Yet I clearly remember when the Pentecostals would go into the streets preaching that Jesus is Coming, the JW's would laugh and make fun of them, as though their way is the only way to preach. I find informal preaching is the best way for me. Just talking to someone casually about God lets them relax, open up and ask questions. I believe each person has a gift, and should use it accordingly to spread the Gospel.

God bless,

Mrs. R

Shall I send them a manuscriptu first class mail?


CCGirl: This is the wonderful thing about the Holy Spirit -he doesn't need someone with fancy doctoriates and degrees from seminary to work through -just ordinary humble folks like you that are willing to declare the truth of the plain and simple gospel.

Blessings;
