I am new here. So, when I was 10 years old, my mother was divorced for a year and joined the Jehovah's Witnesses. I had to follow suit. I do not want to judge here - JWs are good people and one day we all will stand in front of the throne and everybody will be responsible for him/herself, ok?). When I was 18, my mother threw me out of the apartment and I was on my own with no money. I went deep into drugs, spent time in jail, and therapy. Many years later my life changed 100%. I got a job (international like UN) and was working all over the world. I earned good money. But I never stopped praying - all these years. And I can tell you - honestly I do not know why - so many miracles happened in my life. Otherwise I would be dead since a long time. It is now several years I found back to being a real christian. I am not affiliated to any church - but know the Bible actually quite good (heritage of Jehovh's Witnesses), but now read it in the context. I came to the conclusion, that the more simple we take our believe, the better it is. Today it is not important for me who is Babylon the great, or the wild beast.... I only tried to follow 4 principles:
Luke 10:27 - Love God above all and your next as yourself
Jacob 1:28 - look after widows and orphans
Luke 18:14-15 - I am like the tax collector (and mean it).
Matt. 5:3 - blessed are those poor in the spirit
I have spent so many years abroad, have seen so much, was in war, in places you will not find in any tourist agency. I do not even know any longer, where I belong. For the moment I am living in Spain - but this can change very quickly. This world is going down - and I cannot tell you how often I cried, when I saw people suffering. Even that I have the privilege to post here (means - having a PC and internet connection..) is something not common. I spent years in Afghanistan too - very beautiful country, but sad to see. So, now since a year I am retired and fight very hard against dependencies, I had all my life. Beer is the first one to name. Sometimes it works for 3 months, then I fall down - and have to stand up again. I read the bible daily, I pray, I walk a lot in nature and thank god for what he has done for me and those who depend on me. I do not know if I am even worthy of God's forgiveness. But I keep on going and try to do good things - as I did most of my life. I make a lot of music to praise god. Besides this - now that I am getting old - I realize how this world is going down: more and more quickly and in all aspects (war, famine, weather, overpopulation, poverty....). And I hope that I will see the end of it all. I wish sometimes I could talk to someone - but this is difficult here (I live in a small town in Spain, there is only a Catholic church (again - no judgement please!!). My Spanish is ok now, but mostly I speak in EN-FR or DE. I fight for the moment. So if you wish, pray for me.
Depressive and lonely (like I am very often) - listen here:
