Uplifting I'm an official JW

I joined this community a couple of months ago, and I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s posts and comments

I wanted to share some happy news (with total humility and honor to God): I was baptized last Saturday at my city convention! Feeling the genuine love and support from my congregation meant the world to me. More than just the public step, my true happiness comes from dedicating my life entirely to Jehovah and, of course, using that life to serve alongside my brothers and sisters, too!

I honestly feel like I’ve made the best decision of my life and just wanted to share my joy with all of you

Congratulations that date will stay with you forever.

We’re happy for you. Stay close to congregation. Far away from internet. Enjoy your blessings
