Hello My name is Rob or Robbo and this is my testimony, I am 50 years of age , happily married for 28 years with 4 Adopted children, 3 have very challenging behaviour, youngest is 10 oldest is 15. As a child at 3 years of age my parents sent me to Sunday school and I remained under God’s word until I was 14 but my parents were not Christian but believed in good loving values. I knew then that I was different than most of my friends and I had a good sense of morals and justice but at 17 I was struggling with what the world had to offer and became lonely and withdrawn with only my rock music to console me but then I started to shoplift for some reason as a kind of challenge and this went on for 2 years and was getting more serious. At 19 desperation was setting in so I decided to place an add in the local newspaper for a female companion and to my surprise my wife to be was one of the few replies I received but as soon as I confessed to her my problem she insisted I stopped and after several months I stopped my bad habit and now I felt nearly complete. Without going into all the details over the next 20 years I will condense. After 3 years of marriage we hit a bad patch ; my whole life was falling apart, I lost my job, our house and was in debt but somehow I knew Jesus was there and made me strong enough in a vital moment to save my marriage as he gave me wisdom when it counted. The next 6 years we went through a very unsettled time and moved 7 times in and out of tied positions in different areas in the shires but this drew us closer together, we had always been desperate to have our own children but it wasn’t meant to be, we undertook 3 failed IVF treatments at Hammersmith which was very traumatic and testing. Finally we decided to Adopt, at this time and for many years to come we both had an interest in Spiritism/fortune telling in fact my Father In Law told fortunes sometimes but then my brother gave me a tract from an old man who was giving them out in town I then contacted him and I then went on to help him and befriend until he died a few years later, he was a believer who loved God’s word but unusual in his views and some would say he was a recluse and lived in poor conditions with 3 big dogs and a goat but I loved him. Soon after my wife received a knock on the door from the JW,s and asked them to come back when I was back from work, after 2 years of home studies we started to attend the Kingdom Hall where we remained for 7 years and by then we had Adopted our 4 children which presented many problems. We finally came away from the Occult with the help of our JW friends, I soon came out of it but my wife lingered until she saw within a séance a demonic face on one of the ladies own face which frightened her so she never went again. Six years ago we moved from Essex to Lincolnshire and everything changed, from being loved and wanted in The Kingdom Hall in Essex we then faced a completely opposite reception in Lincolnshire which is a testimony in itself which made us to feel persecuted and rejected so I began to questions the teachings and this is when the Lord broke me and opened up my eyes to The Truth and gave me a heart for the lost. Then a few months later I met an Open air Preacher who preached The Bible as it is and so my wife and I stood with him every week for 3 years giving out tracts and talking to people until he was called back to Scotland in 2006. We were both Baptised in 2005 now we have a few friends who are Evangelistic and we desire to find and help others who love the Lord Jesus and want to see other dear souls come into The Kingdom, God Bless All who read this and Thank you
