  My problem with Original Sin

  by leftbelow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i found this quote in a book i was reading and it struck me this is why original sin is a problem for me.. damnation is the start of your morality, destruction is its purpose, means and end.

  your code begins by damning man as evil, then demands that he practice a good which it defines as impossible for him to practice.

  it demands, as his first proof of virtue, that he accept his own depravity without proof.

  Trying to help a friend

  by leftbelow in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have a friend who needs help with a child custody case.

  i remember there was a booklet that many recommended that was produced by the wt.

  i have looked through the old threads but all of the downloads links are no longer active.. her husband is keeping her from seeing her daughter and even though he hasn't been active for years he started going to meetings and immediately got coaching from the elders on how to cut off his wife from their child.

  i have a problem.

  i knew this would come up but what has me questioning myself is where some of my resistance is coming from.. my wife and i have a baby on the way in nov. (a little girl) anyway my mom immediately started applying pressure to me to go back to meeting and of course to attend the convention.

  that is not the surprise.

  http://www.sptimes.com/2008/02/24/life/woman_can_t_let_grand.shtml.

  why is it the sanctity of life (which i believe was the first consideration in jewish law) set aside for this sick practice.

  this fight has to be won.

  i sat awake last night thinking of all the nice people on this board and wanted to share a little about my situation.

  my wife suffered a miscarriage (it was our 3rd) this time at 4 months.

  we have tried for 6 years and we were sure this would be the one.
