Well

Today we had the memorial for Becky. They even mentioned myself and my wife and how we always thanked her for not giving up on us. I believe at times we were more of a headache to her because it took time to come into the Truth.

There were many things we had to change. Coming into the Truth wasn't over night. We had heard all the stories about witnesses. We have heard all the cult stuff. We have heard all the rumors and at a time we might have felt that it was a joke of a religion. After all, there are so many how can just one be correct.

I remember even Jokes about witnesses and how they knocked on the door. So it took along time for my wife and I to come into the Truth. When Becky knocked on our door, I had no idea that where she was taking my family was into a spiritual paradise.

What is it like being a witness? Well everyone there really cares for you. The reason we are talked about often is because we don't do the things the world does. We are different and because of that difference we are hated and called cults or whatever.

It's funny because I've had close non-witness friends who are great until they find out I'm a witness. Some don't care but the ones that do, change. You can see the hatred in their hearts for witnesses. Since when is it wrong to learn about God?

Since when is it wrong to pick up the bible and read? I've heard others who say that they don't belong to a religion. They call themselves non-denominational. Non-denominational is generally used to refer to one of two forms of independence: political or theological.

That is, the independence may come about because of a religious disagreement or political disagreement. This causes some confusion in understanding. Some churches say they are non-denominational because they have no central headquarters (though they may have affiliations with other congregations.) Other churches say they are non-denominational because their belief structures are unique

Members of non-denominational churches often consider themselves simply "Christians". However, the acceptance of any particular stance on a doctrine or practice (for example, on baptism), about which there is not general unanimity among churches or professing Christians, may be said to establish a de facto credal identity. In essence, this would mean that each non-denominational church forms its own unofficial "denomination" with a specific set of tenets as defined by the beliefs and practices of its own congregation.

So in truth it's not really non-denomination simply because of this. You go to the same place of worship. There is one or more speakers. They are talking about God. You are listening and you believe. You continue to go.

That is no different than any catholic that goes to church on Sunday or a Witness who goes to a Kingdom Hall on Sunday. You have your core belief and you are going to a place where they believe the same thing.

But if you want to call it non-denominational to make yourself feel that you are not part of an organized religion then go ahead. There are many religions just like when Jesus walked the Earth. Wouldn't you say that Jesus had the Truth?

Think about that. Do you think that Jesus Taught the truth? If you say yes then you must study what he taught right? You had to study what he taught his followers. Take for example Lazarus. That's the one that was brought back from the dead. If Heaven was so beautiful. If Heaven was where all were going anyway, why would Jesus bring Lazarus back in the first place. Also show me anywhere in scripture, Lazarus telling us what Heaven was like?

Did Lazarus talk about seeing Angels? Lazarus was a good man but point is did he talk about Heaven or anything in Heaven? No he did not. If you died and went to Heaven and saw the most amazing things in Heaven and Jesus brought you back. Wouldn't you talk about it?

There was others who were brought back from the dead found in scriptures. Did they talk about Heaven and what it was like? No they did not. Well why not? Truth is they didn't go to Heaven. They didn't go to Hell. They didn't remain a spirit on Earth. They just died.

Doesn't that make sense? When Adam and Eve ate, didn't God tell them that they would die? He didn't say they would die and then go to Heaven and if we are their offspring, what would happen to us? We die don't we?

How is it that the human body can heal but something happens. We grow and reach the point of being in our prime age. Most Likely in our 30's. Then our bodies change. We get older. We die.

We are born to die. If our Goal is to be Angels, why was that cycle created. The cycle to experience life on Earth with our loved ones. The ones we get to hold and hug and love. Then you die and one is left in pain. Ask a mother who lost a child how it feels. Ask a husband how it feels to lose a wife. It's a never ending cruel cycle.

Why go through it at all. It's because we are meant to live on the Earth and not in Heaven. We are meant to live 4ever. Just open your eyes and think about it. If Adam and Eve never ate from the tree. If they never ate. Don't you think they would be alive today? God said if they ate they would die. If they never ate at all common sense says that they would be here today.

Their children would not die as well. Becky would be young and here today. The body would reach a prime and stop at the prime. You just keep living. Doesn't that make more sense?

I'm going to miss Becky and I'm so thankful that she opened my eyes and planted and watered. Jehovah made it grow.
