lord jesus .and can u find me a church in my place
(patiala,punjab,india)and pray to lord jesus and his father
to give me second chance.please
Jesus himself met with people of all beliefs and all walks of life. We can be at peace with all people and accept their differences with kindness. I am in the United States and I am sorry to say that I do not know your area or where the churches are there.

Expertise
I survived 1975. I hope to explain, not defend, the beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses. I intend to answer questions accurately as believed by Jehovah's Witnesses. Not interested in debates. I have no interest in persuading someone or convincing someone about my personal beliefs.
Was one of Jehovah's Witnesses for 32 years, from 1968 to 2000. Was an elder the last 13 years, WT Study Conductor, Congregation Secretary, Book Study Conductor, and occasional Pioneer. Never "irregular" or "inactive" as the labels go. I have not been reproved or disfellowshipped. I no longer attend meetings or practice the religion.
Experience
From 1968 to 1999 I embraced and promoted everything coming from the "Faithful and Discreet Slave." I accepted changes as "new light" coming from Jehovah through his visible organization.
I believe in universal truths such as kindness, humility, charity, and love. I do not believe that God selected any one people (the Jews for example) to receive a special message or blessing. I do not believe that there are ancient writings that need to be accepted and other ancient writings that need to be rejected. Neither do I believe that one religion has it all right while other religions are therefore wrong. I believe it is a delusion for one group of humans to claim that "God chose us and therefore God did not choose you." I consider spirituality to be a very personal effort that each person must discover for themselves.
