"Do the truth"

    I presented myself to the DO recently at a circuit assembly. I told him that I've been inactive for a year now but that I'm still praying for an answer to a problem. Jehovah has not answered my prayers and I can't find any reason to tell my neighbors about Him. I'm in a real personal crisis. I get to almost all of the meetings but they seem less and less relevant.

    he says,,"The GB has really been emphasizing how simple it really is. Just do the truth and everything will fit together."

    i said that it really is NOT that simple because that's what I had been doing when I realized that something was wrong.

    The assembly is no place for a deep discussion of doctrine and I said that I really have no problem with the WT interpretation of scripture, so I could sense that he was concluding that I must have some seriously dark side which prevents the flow of Jehovah's Holy Spirit.

    that may actually be my answer! I have realized that ALL religions attempt to demonstrate that God is on their side, using short stories and legends to prove that it's true. My life has not been anything super-special. THAT'S my dark side! I was thinking again!

    i almost envy how simple it is for these people.

    Question: you have been a member on this site since July of 2008 and you just stated that you have no problems with the Watchtowers interpretation of scripture???

    Is this true are are you just saying this for some strange reason???

    The reason I said that to him is twofold; this was not the time or place for in-depth discussion, and also I don't really think it matters a whole lot how you interpret the bible. When you use it to boss people around, it is being abused.

    Also, what happened, you don't really think a DO can be reasoned with, do you?

    Besides, I really have no problem with no trinity, no hell, a paradise earth, etc.

    outlaw, thanks again for your insightful comment.

    when just do the truth fails, we can always just fall back on "blame the victim" ---i love this religion!!!!

    "Do the truth" = "Just fake it till you make it"....and don't use your brain.

    Hey. Outlaw..I think the lady to the right in the picture is "sister Anderson" from my old congregation. Nice to see her having a good time.
