The fact she is a Witness like me really hit me hard. I truly loved her book and no words can explain how much it influenced me, she is still alive and well and I am doing an interview with her in around a month xxx

[@rjlondon5801]

Ive been doing study on and off all my life and theyre honestly the nicest people ive ever met. I haven't got baptised because im still living in sin (i.e smoking, not married but in a relationship ect) but my love for jehovah, jesus and his people is real x

[@MrTobiascollins]

Good to hear and I hope you're still trying but I suggest you take a stand because there isn't much time left. Take a walk, think about your life and the things you've learned, see what's going on around the world, and go to Jehovah in prayer. If you really want to make a change, he will help you.

[@dlanor8714]

Don’t give up! Pray to Jehovah for help and keep working hard on it.... you will make Jehovah rejoice little by little until you finally will be clean in from of his eyes

What do you think every member that once thought what you do about them thinks about them now after their teachings destroyed their lives, families, and or caused them harm and suffering

[@Snglnsaved]

Never wait till your ready. Get baptized in Jesus Christ name that way you can repent and ask God for deliverance but you must take the first step. Look up Gino Jennings

[@belladonna2104]

I was the same, raised as a witness, went away, was smoking and living with a guy, I prayed hard to Jehovah and he helped me. Now baptized and very happy 😊 they are lovely people (with the odd exception) but Jehovah will sort everything out in his time

[@Andre8521]

I love it when she says "This is just for you... Jesus died on a stake.. the cross business is just... well anyhow!" She couldn't resist preaching in that instance!!!! AWESOME!! :-) Gotto love the old-timers... the truth is In Them!! and like a fire- it's gotto come out

I`m presently reading Simone`s book "Facing the Lion." This is so moving! It proves that anyone who has their faith firmly and solidly based on the true God, Jehovah and His word the Bible can stand firm against any sort of pressure brought against them. Simone is not alone; there have been literally thousands of Witnesses in many totalitarian lands who have done the same as she and her husband Max. Her form stand is an inspiration to us all. Thank you my dear sister!

As a JW for over 20 years Max & Simone Leibster's shining example represent a spiritual heritage that stands out amongst other faiths who simply went along with Hitler and condoned by their silence. Even today many JWs who refuse military service are being persecuted for their stand on christian neutrality as conscientious objectors, such as Singapore where 35,000 young men have been imprisoned over the years for their stand on this matter.

[@schneidersebcos8991]

This sister was courageous even in childhood. Her faith was not without works and this video speaks of the atrocities which were committed by the regime of Hitler.

[@raybeshara1403]

When someone truly trust in Jehovah he gives them his spirit to withstand the worst. and a comment for John Golf you have to be in paradise or if you think in heaven to see if God will resurect the Criminals of all kinds, I personally I don't want to see them there. But the Bible does say that who sins against the holly spirit will not be resurected. So we don't know who sins against the holly spirit except God himself. So the Bible does show that wicked people will not be resurected these are the ones that sin against the holly spirit, But the unrighteous have a chance? Now if you really bothered by it you have to research it. Acts 24:15 And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. Romans 6:7 For the one who has died has been acquitted* from his sin. Romans 6: 23 For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.

@PrintedTruth , even if that is true about Rutherford and Hitler..That is no excuse to leave Jehovah. Judas betrayed Jesus...Do we Condemn all the apostles? Moses sinned against God in the desert...Do we find that an excuse to leave Jehovah? David sinned against God as well. The relationship with Jehovah is personal and spiritual. No man, or lies or powers in this planet can take away that. No matter how hard you try...

[@jazzbassf]

Jesus gave us a command to "go and preach at mat 28.19,20 "Go therefore and make desciples.... teaching......" All authority has been given to Christ and he is our King and we show our love by feeding his sheep, if we truly Love Jehovah God and His Son who shed his precious blood for us so that we can have everlasting life we do this out of Love for God and Christ and fallen mankind. Do we love our fellow man see .Mark 12.28, 29,30,31 ............we must God out of Love not out of morbid fear

[@jazzbassf]

@tWaytTruthtLife sorry friend , your'e mistaken, this Rev 1.11 A -Z is only in the King James Version of the Bible, and is not in any other bible Translation to my Knowledge, because later more ancient texts prove this to be a spurious insertion in the bible to prove the Trinity, just like 1 john 5,7 , which is admitted by many bible scholars. If you really had a copy of the Kingdom Interlenear translation you would see that is not there. Please do the research if you are really truly sincere.

[@jazzbassf]

@tWaytTruthtLife yes the greek word Proskuneo means Worship , in the King James Bible in Revelation at Rev 3.9 it says that the synagouge of satan will come and worship anointed Christians, if it is true that Proskuneo should be translated the same in the Bible then according to the King James Version Christians are to be worshipped ? Does that make any sense or should it not be translated according to the context. The kings james bible has many errors and it is the reason for revised version

[@jazzbassf]

we JW's bring Honor to Jesus as our King and redeemer and the one who is the King of the Kingdom that will bring blessings to all of mankind,the only hope for all the nations, this is Kingdom he preached when he was on earth, We honor Jesus by doing what he told true Christians to do , and that is to preach the Kingdom to the whole inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations and then the end will come. Are you preaching that Kingdom of Jesus ?.

Beautiful book too. Caused me to meditate about how I might respond, feel in such a situation made especially significant given Bible prophecy saying that the battle of Armageddon will be like nothing ever seen before.. Brother Max Lieberts’ book, the crucible of terror is just as interesting. It’s longer and what makes his story unique is you see how he learned about JW whom he only knew by the purple triangle. He also talks about how he met and pursued Simone. :)!

You remind me of a person who looks up at the sky before all onlookers and says,"the sky is not blue". Everyone can see it is, but you don't like blue so you accuse those of saying it is of perpetrating a hoax when in reality it is your own selfish desire that is being promoted.

[@Andresseus]

how much preaching is qualified to get to heaven? for those who are anointed, what kind of special input did they generate any better than a christian who doesnt get to go to heaven? evangalizing doesnt need to guarantee you anything just for you to behave as a good member of society. if your life ends but you put your best efforts in good morals, you loose nothing at death. a hope can work for some but i feel that sometimes we need to be a little bit more realistic. this lady risked her life.

[@stevemorrison4378]

AS DID JESUS AND ALL FIRST CENTURY CHRISTIANS. THE DEVIL WILL ALWAYS PUT JESUS FOLLOWERS UNDER TEST. BUT IF YOU DONT SPREAD JESUS TEACHINGS YOU ARE NOT A PERSON OF INTEREST TO HIM. THAT IS TAKING THE WIDE AND SPACIOUS ROAD THAT JESUS SPOKE ABOUT. IT IS THE EASY ROAD THAT PROVIDES NO REWARD. WITNESSES DONT SEEK PERSECUTION BUT KNOW WHO IS BEHIND IT AND THAT IT WILL COME WHENEVER YOU OBEY GOD AND FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS OR HIS FATHER FAITHFULLY. WE DONT PREACH TO EARN A PLACE IN PARADISE AS THERE IS NO PRICE THAT CAN EARN IT. SO IT IS A GIFT GOD GIVES AND WE PREACH BECAUSE WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HIM AND WISH TO OBEY HIS WISHES. WE WANT OTHERS TO ALSO COME TO KNOW OUR LOVING GOD JEHOVAH.

@jazzbassf In answer to your question - No! Jesus - Iesous - is a pagan diety. Yahuwshuah is the messiah. the same applies to Jehovah - this is not the name of the Creator as there is no J or V in Paleo hebrew. Proper nouns should not be translated, but rather transliterated. Yahuwah is the name of the Father. Interesting too is the title 'God'. Where did it come from? It in no way resembles Elohim. This term is also pagan. Research it! Or are You unwittingly preaching pagan deities?

I read her book "Facing the Lion". I found it to be contradictory and contrived. Yes I said that.
