    Morning all!

    Haven't been around in a long time...family vacations, other family visiting from out out town. It has been a hectic month or so!

    Saw this this morning and just wanted to share it; I found it to be quite true. But, oh-oh, hope that doesn't mean ya'll will doubt me now. lol!!

    "Believe those who seek the truth; doubt those who find it.

    - Andre Gide"

    Have a great day out there!

    I must say:

    Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those (who think) they have it. Many inside the organisation thinks this way:

    "I am alright Jack, I am in , i will be save through Armageddon. I am in the truth! I have the truth.... blah blah blah...."

    But look how they behave, worse than those outside!(the worldly)

    ha ha ha ha. I wonder how many will be.

    Hi Zeena,

    That's quite wise I do think. This is one of my favorite quotes from one of the most articulate early Church Fathers, Irenaeus (reminds me so much of the WT)

    "Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced (ridiculous as the expression may seem) more true than truth itself." (Irenaeus Against Heresies 1.2)





    :)

    cheers

    This sentence explains why I have not found the "right religion". So I keep on searching. Not in religion, through spirituality.
