I was a Jehovah’s Witness for 26 years. I learned that the Watchtower is not what it claims to be. Their belief system is burdensome. You never know when you’ve done enough of their works to be sure of eternal life. Jesus said of those who come to Him, “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)

When I first left the WT in 1970, I struggled to find someone else who shared my thoughts about how wrong they were. I knew of no one. I searched the library. I gradually began to find some. Walter Martin, Bill and Joan Cetnar, and Ed Gruss were some of my favorites. I prayed that God would raise up someone to shine the light. Soon after praying, a young Christian man (David Henke) in Columbus, Georgia (a three-hour drive away) somehow heard about me, called me and wanted to meet me. We arranged to meet half-way between us and we talked. He was considering starting a ministry and wanted to get my opinion on it. I encouraged him to do so. He did and he started Watchman Fellowship, which grew and today has chapters in many states.

Now, and for many years, I have been a happy, well-adjusted, born-again Christian. Happier than I ever was as a Jehovah’s Witness. I know that I have eternal life. I have the "peace that passes all understanding.” (Philippians 4:7)
