Thanks Becky, nice testimony.  I love reading them all.  

Having read all these testimonies, it seems they have gone into more detail than i did.  

Well just to expand a little on my testimony.  

Since i was a kid, i had a sort of "Christian" upbringing, but not a strict one.  However my dad did and still does beleive in the orrthodox way.  Me, being the very inquisitive kid that i was, kept looking into my dad's book called "Soon coming world shaking events" in 1981, i was 6.  of course it was written by an American pastor and is totally unscriptural (i know that now).  

I read this and became a bit scared.  I became a bit scared and my dad would occasionaly scare me a bit more, saying if i didnt beleive i would be eaten by Lions or would go to hell, not in an abusive way, more matter of fact way.  I never took him serioulsy enough really.  Sure i was scared, but only for short times then id forget about it, as my dad never drummed it in to me, luckily

ANyway, as life went on into my teens, i never pursued a "christian" life, but beleived in God and that there was a God.  In 2001, i fell massively in love for a girl at work.  Literally fell in love.  I hadnt felt this way in a long time for a girl as i am very fussy.  ANyway, she was jewish.  AFter a few months of us being together, she dumped me.  I was, in a word - devastated.  I had know her for 9 months and i thought we had grown so close. So much so, i cried for weeks, months actually.  I eventually left work 3 months later as i had found out she was with another guy, FROM work.  I was gutted for sure.  

So it was during this time, i needed comfort, peace.  I was so sad, i turned to God.  I turned to what i had been brought up to beleive.  I went through quite a trying time after quitting my job.  It took me a few dead end jobs and a crap sales job to eventually climb up the ladder i had fallen so hard from, from my previous job.  I was such an idiot to pusue such a girl who had so many issues.  It wasntreally until about mid 2004 that i had got back on top of my career ladder.  3 wasted years and all for the love of a silly girl - and even worse AT work  :roll:

 Anyway from JAn 2002 I went to Church courses and made christian friends etc.  I was becoming, quite slowly, an orthodox job.  One from the firm.  You know the score.  I have a Christian friend and he made it much easier for me and encouraged me.  Even my now girlfriend who started going to Church made me happy about it all and that Church was "so right".  But i know deep deep down, i had a million questions about it all.  OK, so God had helped me through the healing process of my ex, but now i had the REAL questions.

ANyway, Come April 2004, i found the truths, by accident, like most guys here.  I was searching for information, randomly on revelation and now i am here.  i didnt have many christian friends anyway, as i didnt attend Church regularly.  My one close Christian friend is still a very good mate.  But hes orthodox and is blinded.  My girlfriend doesnt really attend church, but she did go through a phase and she sometimes refers to a comeback.  i really hope she stays away, but her mum is a strict orthodox job.

I have also had the privilege of being kicked out of an Orthodox Chritian website for debating them.  Their wicked views and the views of many who email Ray drove my belief of the scriptural truths even further.  Even the views of my old churches make me realise how true the scriptures must be, as they cant have been much better.  Same center, different coating.

Its a God given privilege to know what i know, but i know that i have a lot more to go through before i become a member of God's spiritual family.

Becky:
THANKS for sharing more!

I have a question though... is "job" slang for lets say "mess" "screwy" etc?
