How I Came To Christ (Our Conversion Stories)

Wow Maco, thank you for sharing that wonderful testimony! It's very inspiring.

And you're right, God is good!

I read the last part of Telaquepacky's testimony and I already have tears in my eyes from his too, so I'm going to go read the rest of it.

If you haven't taken the time to read Telaquapacky's testimony....DO IT!

He's an excellent writer, and he made me laugh and cry.

One part of it had me weeping!

Very good Telaquapacky, thank you so much for sharing that with us!

Your story has a lot of similarities to TruthMagnet's testimony. Have you read hers yet?

As I've mentioned before, I really don't feel comfortable telling my entire testimony on here because I do feel some people would use it as "ammo" later.

But here it is, in all its great symbology, in a nutshell:

I was told by God to go to Nineveh.

I didn't want to go there because I didn't think the people there deserved God's mercy, so I hid. I hid from God.

The ship I was hiding on was swept up in a horrible storm, and I was thrown overboard.

I was swallowed by a huge fish.

I realized God was a lot more powerful than I am, and I eventually listened to Him, even though I still didn't understand.

I went to Nineveh and did what God told me to do. I could've saved myself a lot of trouble if I had just gone in the first place, but it was way out of my comfort zone.

That explains that fish I saw gargling with Listerine .

I didn't make fun of YOUR testimony.

THWWWWAAACCCKKKKK!

Ow! A Thousand Pardons, please. Indeed, you did not make fun of my testimony, but were very nice about it. I'll just put my gargling fish back in my pocket where I keep it with a cold slice of pizza.

There's a long history of scandal in the Catholic church that hasn't stopped them to date. Yet people still cling on to the beliefs held within the system.
