Personality
Emotional,Kind and Softhearted.When I got into truth I
was very lonely.I used to dream about associating with
nice brothers who love me,care for me and comfort me.But
I did'nt have good spiritual brothers around me.I
understood the pain of loneliness.Now I have come a full
cycle and I feel that I should do my best to bring
hope,comfort and happiness to fellow witnesses.

How we got into
truth ?
It was 10 long years ago when we met the witnesses.We
were pious Roman catholics and our mother instilled a
good conscience.We were trained to think only about good
things in life,regularly attend mass in the church,we
never told a lie even for fun,we could'nt harm even small
insects and every night we called all the saints to
protect us.I vowed to become a jesuit priest because i
was attracted by thier humility(what my catechism teacher
taught me).But we had a big vacuum in the life.Mama is
very kind and she used to help the refugees from srilanka
with clothes and other things.But she found that we are
not getting any Bible knowledge.So when the JW couple
knocked at the doors we welcomed them .We were excited to
learn from the "Truth book" all the facts from
the bible.But when it came to trinity i fought them with
all those misquoted verses.Finally I understood that i'am
fighting a lost battle.The couple had answers for all my
questions and I just humbly sat down listening to them.We
were attending all the meetings and made fine
progress.All the icons and images are gone and we
dissociated from the church.But soon came the big
challenge.
In India women used to wear Kumkum on forehead,mangal
sutra and metti which signifies a married woman.My father
was opposing truth and he started abusing mother for
giving up all these practices.We were tortured by my
father both physically and verbally.For the next 2 years
were ahering to the principles we learnt but were cut off
from spiritual association by my father.We faced a lot of
pressures during this period.I finished my High school in
1988.My school was the prestigious one and I stood first
in the state exam in our town.So i got the attention of
my principal who is a Roman catholic.I was the only
christian boy to top the school in more than 10 years.So
I was a point of pride for the principal.But when he
learnt that I'am not attending catechism and church he
threatened me.My parents were afraid that I won't be
admitted to the Junior college.But I stood firm and they
were forced to give up.The next 2 years went
peacefully.In 1990 I got into the medical college.When I
came back for the vacation I was talking to my mama about
the vacuum when we discontinued study with witnesses.I
went around searching for them and asked them to continue
the study.There was no looking back.In 1991 both myself
and mama got Baptised.My sister got baptised the next
year.We are a spiritual family of three.my father does'nt
oppose but abuses.We have learnt to turn deaf ears like
King David.We enjoy helping people getting into the truth
and helping fellow witnesses in our congregation.
