I wouldn't call it brainwashed, more like bloodwashed, washed in the blood atonement of Jesus Christ. What you copied was just part of my testimony of a changed life and it has lasted almost 30 years, it is a life worth living, as one wise man said: You can't be ready to live until you are ready to die. God's holy spirit calls out true christians, he convicts, convinces, converts. But nothing transpires until you are really honest with God and confess all your sins and ask him to save you and change your life and make you more like his son Jesus. Now you do have an awful lot of people in this world who say they are christians and they cannot point to a time when their life was changed and if they can't, then of course nothing has occured. Jesus said: Many will come in my name and say I am Christ and shall deceive many, they will speak of me with their lips, but in their hearts they are far from me.

What you call brainwashed is a life of devotion and dedication and commitment, daily reading God's word, being faithful not only in attendance at God's house and giving of your tithes and offerings and obeying God , loving everybody, even though you may disagree with them, treating everybody like you want to be treated. God has proved himself to me over and over, he has answered my prayers many times, and he is using me right now to share this with you, I am only a willing vessel in his hand. God recognizes insincerity and double-mindedness, he has said in his word: They that come to me, must believe I am[exsist] and I am a rewarder of those who seek me early. I sleep good, eat good, have a peaceful fulfilled life and if he calls me home today, I am ready to go, I am not a religious nut or looney tunes, even though you may think I am. Thanks for your input.
