Detective...I hear ya. Actually, the book really imprints in your mind the fact that ANYTHING you say that even KIND OF makes them think you're criticizing their faith will turn some kind of switch off in their heads so they quit listening to you. Its so wild. On a related note, I approached my sister and said "hey sis, am i allowed to ask you a question without sounding like an apostate?" she was like "of course"....i swear i've never tried so hard to keep my ego out of the equation (and without sounding fake). I said "Well, I'm really confused....it seems like growing up, I remember them saying at every meeting that people who lived in 1914 would not see the end of this system of things. Did that change? Is that what the New Light is about?" Firstly, she said "where'd you hear that from?!"
to which I responded "I really dont remember....its been awhile but it just popped in my head". My point is.....I'm gonna do everything in my power to make her answer my question without criticizing her faith. I want HER to come up with the answer that it doesnt make sense (although at this point in the game i'm sure she has NO doubts and it'll fly over her head. THis time....) Ya'll wish me the best!
Oh, so anyway, she's supposed to come up with an answer for me on Friday night.
