Paul's Parents

Paul's Parents Written Jul 14, '08

After there marriage in 1960 our parents Claude and Dorothy Allen started searching for a church that followed Bible principles but were disappointed by what they repeatedly found in them. First, among many disappointments in the churches they looked into, was the fact that they did not even use Gods name. Dad already knew that Gods name Jehovah should be in the bible even as a child, and later through his own personal bible research. Years later, after continued disappointment with the churches, they were eventually contacted in the door to door ministry at there home by Robert "Doc" Strong and his mother Voila Strong in 1963. Dad and Mom were intrigued at how closely Jehovah's Witnesses followed the bible. With an open mind and after much diligent study and research, our Parents were helped to gain an accurate knowledge of the Bible and were baptized in August of 1967. They shared this knowledge with there children of which Paul, Earl and Cecil also came to realize that this Bible knowledge was accurate with what the Bible teaches and thus also came to live there lives in accordance with Bible principles.
