How many times have you been told this in your Witness life? It was such a simple and humble solution to any problem... just go have a study with someone you trust.
They are following a common human sociological code, but they twist in along the way.
When a youth or young adult is having problems in their life. Whether that be faith or lonliness or depression or anything else it's always nice to talk to someone you can trust and love. It's even more special if that person can offer insight on your trouble and takes on a guidance role in your life.
^ The Witnesses take this loving human concept and sprinkle in their literature. So, to understand how the above scanario plays out you must understand the literature that is held as cornerstone in the mentor relationship.
What are the publications like? Are they encouraging? Some do argue that they are.
My opinion is that the publications always strive obedience to God, through God's organization, above all else. Am I crazy or something? Am I being controlled by some demonic force right now?
No, I am using my brain, the Cardinal Witness Sin, "we cannot direct our own step" They chant.
Not interested.
