Lou Everett was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses for more than 14 years. During that time, he served as a full-time minister as well as other major roles within the congregation. Lou’s journey to the Catholic Church was truly a rough road traveled.
From Jehovah’s Witnesses to Catholicism: My Journey
In 2005, I find myself inside a Catholic church for midnight mass. My future wife, born and raised in the Catholic Church, by my side; silently showing me something that I never thought I’d see or feel. At the age of 31, a realization set in that I never would have expected to occur – thus begins another part of my journey to the Church, my home.
Peering back into my childhood, I realize that my journey actually began as a child. My father was in the military so our family traveled around quite a bit. I was born in San Francisco, California while my father was stationed there in the Army in 1974. Both of my parents are ‘cradle’ Catholics and had very different experiences with the Catholic Church. Throughout the various moves from place to place, my parents were contacted by Jehovah’s Witnesses. Their message seemed to touch my parents enough to eventually become baptized in 1984 as Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Scripture tells us what Jesus is doing in heaven NOW.
He is seated at the right hand of God, interceding for His own, waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool.
I think I see now, the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true.
Jesus is interceding... what about all those “Saints”, Mary and the angels aren’t they doing the work that Jesus won’t do? Isn’t he too busy with the paperwork or something?
lol.
just kidding
Yes...and hard to really believe still going on today...around the world....actually the catholics abroad can take it to even higher levels. But as i said...some of it i won’t bring to FR...it’s never be Ok’d!
I learned “ how” they prepare these body parts....it’s beyond disgusting....reminded me of the write ups of Jeffrey Dalmer!....yet ‘they’ call it “beautification”. How twisted is that!
Too funny!
As you said...If they have to ask they won’t understand the answer anyway. Unfortunately even “seeing” isn’t believing when it’s right out there for them to see.
And guess where, outside the Vatican, the largest collection of catholic relics are?... Come on guess!
What belongs to the sola’s
Grammar critique
USA?
Maybe I should have built a shrine to my tonsils, I mean the relic of St. Me
Well that would be ok..LOL...these guys worship the 'Great TOOTH of Buddah!"......they like relics too..
The practice of ancestor worship is relatively straightforward....and they have idols and relics of the departed too.... Nearly every house, office, and business in Vietnam has a small altar which is used to commune with ancestors.... Incense sticks are burned frequently. Offerings are made – fruit, sweets, and gifts.... The latter items are paper replicas of dollar notes (‘ghost money’), motorbikes, cars, houses and so on. After worship, the paper gifts are burnt so that the spirits of the gifts can ascend to heaven .for the ancestors to use.
The eucharist is a satanic abomination.

We can count on you!
“Mary is dead.”
Mary is alive in Christ.
