My dear ones, I want to share with you my experience, which is of such importance that each of us in this earthly life goes through various problems, anxieties, fears, and dependencies. What I went through in my life was based on the fear of not being accepted by God. I was about 15 or 16 years old when the Jehovah's Witnesses came into my life. It was a terrifying experience for me. At first, everything seemed rosy, but then, if you made even a small mistake, you were excommunicated as a sinner and had to do penance, submitting to their rules, which I would now call very strange. I wanted to know for myself what was right and wrong, so I started reading the Bible on my own, and whenever I was accused, I would respond with Scripture. For example, as a woman, you weren't supposed to wear trousers… also, I had to devote many hours to preaching and distributing magazines in large quantities - otherwise, I would be punished by God! I turned 18 and met a 20-year-old American military man who wanted to marry me. I really cared for him, but the Jehovah's Witnesses forbade it, telling me that Jehovah would punish me. Out of fear of God's punishment, I gave up the relationship. About a year later, Jehovah's Witnesses introduced me to a man they said I should marry. I didn't want to, but again, I felt compelled to marry him out of fear of God's punishment. The marriage was disastrous; he was an alcoholic who frequently borrowed money without repaying it, and when I couldn't cover his debts, the lenders demanded something else from me. Despite knowing this, he was indifferent. Unable to endure it any longer, I finally divorced him. After that, I also severed ties with Jehovah's Witnesses. They considered me spiritually dead and disassociated me. The fear of this was so deeply ingrained that I felt hopeless and seriously contemplated ending my life. After a few years, I decided to rebuild my life in my own way. I believe God was opening a path for me towards true light, and through meeting a sister in Christ (Carmelina), I gradually began to see the light, and all that fear disappeared. In Isaiah 41:10, even though there are challenges, His presence remains constant, and the peace He offers is greater than fear! In John 14:27, it says, "I leave you peace, not the peace of the world, but the peace of God!" AMEN 🙏🙏❤️
