mankkeli - I think perhaps the most dangerous lie taught by the J-Dubs is the silly notion that Telling People Stuff Will CHANGE Their Lives.
Here's an 'illustration' ... I remember how the Fear-o-cratic school valued those things.
A doctor can tell a patient to stop smoking or lose weight or lower their meat/sugar/salt intake or he'll die. He needs no faith whatsoever to believe this is true. There's ready scientific evidence. There's people right around him...perhaps even family members who have passed away from the same health issues. So why is it so hard to change?
Because people can only change THEMSELVES. If and WHEN they're ready. And not a moment sooner. Even then, it takes great effort and more often than not, a good deal of trial and error.
But you're taught that waving around a silly magazine will do the trick.
I can't blame you for 'witnessing' online as if that will change anyone here. It's what you've been taught. You don't know any better.
Unfortunately, you have no choice but to learn the real truth here. Look at the responses. It doesn't matter how many times you boldface and reply....ultimately, you've failed. Your beliefs have failed. Your belief in your beliefs have failed. And the 'preaching' concept you've believed in is ever so terribly flawed.
Of course, you won't believe what I've just told you either. Until you're ready. If ever.
