Escaping Hell
I was less than two years of age when my mother became involved with Jehovah’s Witnesses. I saw my mother get baptized when I was two years old. She always told me that from that point on, I wanted to get baptized. Thinking back now, I’m sure that I just wanted to go swimming. After all, […]
