Driven by a desire to align with Scripture, they renounced their former doctrines, believing them to be unbiblical.  She then dedicated her life to Jehovah God.  Began following Jesus Christ as God’s only begotten son.  By learning accurate knowledge of the bible she exercised faith in his ransom sacrifice by sharing the good news of Jehovah’s Kingdom under the rule of his Son Jesus Christ as King.  And presented herself for baptism as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
