Hey Naked Poet:
All of us collectively possess many different spirits, thus having a variety of spirituality from which we can exhude influence upon others.
The spirit in my natural being that surfaces always depends upon the stimuli I receive from an individual.
As far as spiritual goals, agendas and objectives are concerned, I function in the role of an observer, and allow events to occur naturally, without presumption.

Naked Poet,
As Witnesses, I belive we need to take a harder look as to what real spirituality constists of. Is spirituality how many meetings we attend per week or hours of field service put in per week? Or, is brother so and so's spirituality gaged upon whether or not he had a vasectomy because after all, we can't use him in the congregation if this becomes known. Or maybe we gage sister so and so's spirituality based upon the fact that she had her tubes tied because she has all the children she wants, because after all , she can't be used for any special privliges in the cong. if this becomes known, unless the Elders first determine whether or not she had this done for a good reason.
This is just an example of what can and does occur in congregations. It seems it is no longer about what is in your heart. It's all about who follows the "rules" the best. You can be a complete jackass but attend every meeting and be in everyones good graces. It just does'nt make sense anymore. Yes, I believe there is a loss of real spirituality within the JWs, as elsewhere. As people, we need to find out what the meaning of true spirituality is...... Thanks!
