How did you accept counsel
by KAYTEE inwas it easy to accept council from elders, i found it extremely hard, the reason being it was always laced with stupidity.. just one of the many many times i had run ins with the elders.. when discussing an important issue that had come up (usually personally), the elder said to me "getting your little green book out again", a reference to my use of the wts code of conduct book (the organisation book) trying to counsel me on the use of wts material.
how can you start from common ground when you have foolish statements said like that from so called spiritual leaders .
my dear old mum, when bringing up 4 children after the war, gave us every week a dose of cod liver oil ,her reason was we needed it.. cod liver oil is like counsel.

WHAT do they say about that ?
by RAF ini've asked my sisters, my mother but none could give me an answer (guess why ?).
matthew 27:51-54. new world translation : 51and, look!
the curtain of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rock-masses were split.52and the memorial tombs were opened and many bodies of the holy ones that had fallen asleep were raised up,53(and persons, coming out from among the memorial tombs after his being raised up, entered into the holy city,) and they became visible to many people.54but the army officer and those with him watching over jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things happening, grew very much afraid, saying: certainly this was gods son.. .
