This is a story that some have read, and some have not, but if you're contemplating a mate whether you're a F or M. It applies to both genders, Please read and take to heart
I met him at work one day
On my lunch break, I was about to pray
We talked on and on and oh, he's such a gentleman
I wished that moment would never end
But then reality brought forth, the end of my lunch hour
As he arose, he stood as strong and tall as a tower
We met again and again; our souls began to cling
I've pondered, "Could this be the real thing?"
He doesn't smoke, drink or gamble money
He doesn't take drugs and he's no else's honey
Let's face it, he's fine and has a great bod
The truth? Oh well, he doesn't serve Jehovah God
For I know that he will change in time
So that is why I shall make him mine
My friends tried to warn me. Did I listen? Did I care?
Little did I know, my life would be one of despair
The wedding went fine; the judge married us in fall
You see, I couldn't have my wedding in a Kingdom Hall
My dad? No, he didn't give me away
With the pain in his heart, he didn't have much to say
Mom, can you hear me? Mom, why do you cry?
Don't worry bout me, we'll do just fine
I got a good man, who has a good job
The only thing is, he doesn't serve God
Everything went fine, only recently at night
When the meeting times come, we fuss and we fight
"Who is this God, breaking us apart?
Don't go tonight, follow your heart."
So I listen, to keep the peace in my home
But often times, I feel so alone
Guess cause I don't associate much with the friends at all
You see, I stopped going to the Kingdom Hall
Service? Oh, well that's history
I just decorated my first holiday tree
The holiday celebrations are now a part of my life
I must obey my husband, for I am his wife
The brothers would call, I wouldn't answer the door
I stopped reading the literature, it got to be a bore
You see, marrying out of the Truth, gets one free
Free from Jehovah's love that I once had within me
Oh blessed news, a little one to come
I couldn't wait, had to hurry and tell my Hon
He was in a bad mood, just lost his job that day
He told me all this as he struck my face
"I'm sorry, babe. Forgive me this time, please."
I've heard these words more than once you see
Two jobs I have now, as I support my household
My husband stays home-still out of work-it's getting old
I'm tired a lot lately, and feeling kinda strange
My schedule at both jobs, I've rearranged
The baby is due anytime now
Things will get better some way, some how
For I married a man for better, or worse
One who refuses to put Jehovah first
The baby came, so little and light
It wasn't crying, something was not right
What could it be, I wondered in bed
Then came the Doctor, he just shook his head
"Mrs. Unbeliever, there's something to confess
You and the baby tested positive to the HIV test"
Oh my!! What a death sentence to hear
That the end of both of our lives is near
Listen to me, let me tell you to your face
To marry an unbeliever is a total disgrace
Jehovah, a loving father, who cares for his sheep
So he set guidelines for us to hold and to keep
Let me say this, just to set things straight
He'll give you a nice brother a theocratic mate
Cause there's nothing a worldly man has to offer at all
But unhappiness, sorrow and a serious fall.
(1Cor. 7:39)
Hope that this post keeps us all alert and always Remember: Jehovah's way.... it's the BEST way!
