Questions For God

  Rev. Harold Vaughan . . . or - The ramblings of a middle aged man in response to the ramblings of another middle aged man.   This post is destined to be my most read (sarcasm). ~ ~ ~ I met Harold Vaughan way back in the early 1980's.  On several occasions he was a "special speaker" at the Baptist church I was attending in Goldsboro, NC.  I believe he was part of an annual "revival" that we had.  I think I was there for at least two of these revivals that he spoke at.  I even took vacation time off work so I could attend the daily meetings, as well as the evening meetings.  This went on for 4, perhaps 5 days.  Heck, it may have lasted a week, I really don't remember. Harold likely wouldn't remember me, which is understandable.   ~ ~ ~ As I am prone to do, every now and then when I reminisce of the notable Christians from my past, I google them.  Rev.

This "conversation" is from January of 2022. I am not positive how it began - I suspect that I had commented on a YouTube video or perhaps a blog post - at any rate, David sent me an email: David: I am not sure if I am correct but are you a former JW [Jehovah's Witness], as I hear that they turn to atheism when they leave the church...Bob, if Christianity is wrong we all have nothing to lose but if we are right you have everything to lose. So, if you want to chat about spiritual things I would be open to that, all the best to you . bob: Hi David, and thanks for reaching out to me. I am always open to discussing Christianity and the bible with anyone. No, I am not a former JW. My interest in Jehovah's Witnesses stems from a year long "bible study" that I had with a wonderful young JW couple.
