Has anyone sat thru the saturday session Allow nothing to distance you from Jehovah
Satan's Subtle Efforts Pride, Money, Health, Career, Recreation, Family and of course technology. I would like to know what this is all about this family thing. I'm sure something must have been said about unbelievers.
Here are my notes from Saturday
The part on family was about grieving when a close family member leaves. They used Gen 6:6 to show how Jeh was sad that Adam and Eve rebelled.
"It is very unwise to let [unbelieving family members] influence you."
Then the FDS had 3 things to remember:
Why your kids leave: They make their own choices when the grow up. Parents feel to blame, but don't blame yourself. (Gal 6:5- carry own load).
Respect the Disfellowshipping Arrangement: Take a stand against Satan (1 Pet 5:9) If you don't respect the arrangment, you can become a stumbling block and impede them from coming back. Don't blame others.
Maintain you own spirituality: Be loyal to Jehovah and his organization. "We have the secret to happiness." "Remain on a spiritual high if/when they come back." We have spiritual friends to confide in. Do not look for an excuse to associate with DF'd ones.
~That last thought cut through my heart. That is the cruelest form of punishment...parents having no natural affection.
I would go to saturday take notes and wipe my ass at the bathroom at the end of the day!
"We have the secret to happiness"
OMG! (Such BS)
