Not The Good Samaritan.
by LostintheFog1999 inin jesus's parable of the good samaritan what did the samaritan man do?
he assisted the wounded man in a loving and practical way.
he used his own finances to make sure that he was cared for and promised additional money to the innkeeper who was looking after the injured man, saying that he was willing to reimburse him for any additional costs incurred.

The Good Samaritan
by LostintheFog1999 injws are quick to apply jesus's parable of the good or neighbourly samaritan to themselves.
originally they applied it to jesus but that interpretation changed over time.. however, as i was reading it again recently, i saw a different interpretation.
the man who was lying hurt by the roadside was a jew.

Do Your Own Research.
by LostintheFog1999 inthere were several times when i was inside the congregation that i met up with a problem in my life and on mentioning it at a group i would be told to do my own research about it.. of course, they didn't mean for me to research worldly material for the answer but to use the wt indexes and look into the wt society magazines.. it was only when i started to do my own research outside of the wt that i began to see the limited scope of the society's magazines as all problems usually fell into the category of 1. read the bible, attend meetings, go out on the work, and pray; or 2. this isn't going to be fixed now but in the new world god will sort it out and the former things (what you are suffering from now) will not be called to mind.. i wonder how many people still in are struggling and are not being encouraged to research away from the organisation where they would receive practical and valuable advice?.
