I was born in the truth also. My father was an elder, and my mother and sisters were pioneers. I had a few friends whose parents were also Elders, and we basically just hung around each other, possibly too much. We were looked up to, and respected by a lot of the other friends in the area, not because of spiritual efforts on our part, but just resting in the name and reputations of our parents. As we grew up, we somewhat devoloped an elitist attitude, thinking that we were better than others in respects. "Pride is before a crash and a haughty spirit before stumbling". After crashing hard, and stumbling very hard, the world had their arms open. "Come on in...We'll take you to heights you never have been before. In the opinion of other worldly people, I had some pretty good offers. But I knew that I had nothing tangible going in my life spiritually. As i was contemplating how I would live, and what I would do, I picked up the NWT and came across Prov 3:5,6. "Trust in Jehovah...Do not lean upon your own understanding...Take notice of him, and HE HIMSELF will make your path straight". On one hand, I had the world's offers, on the other I had Jehovah's. I decided that I would give Jehovah a chance.I would really try to make the truth my own, Bringing all concious thoughts, actions and beliefs into captivity, within myself, making them obedient to the Christ. 2 Cor.10:5. The way in which Jehovah helped me change my life for the better, it manifested to me the realness, faithfulness, and truthfullness of Jah. The goodness he and his organization displayed was exactly that; good! My life took a 360 degree turn in all respect. Everything changed after I simple decided to whole-heartedly change.
Nice experience. I wish more kids who took their spirituality for granted would do the same.
