    Would excellent ass kisser and green handshaker be "fruits of the spirit"?

    Sure it seems lame here, but... I would say showing "fruitages of the spirit" is a better qualification of spirituality than field circus hours or current cult position held.

    Jus' sayin

    Can someone give me a real example of what they consider 'fruitage of the spirit'? thanks

    Attitude- what do they write there? 'he is a real crabass but puts in many hours'.

    Fruits of the holy spirit listed in bible Galatians 5:22,23 (NIV)

    22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

    Love

    Peace

    Forbearance

    Kindness

    Goodness

    Faithfulness

    Gentleness

    Self-Control

    WTS NWT

    22 On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Moreover, those who belong to Christ Jesus impaled the flesh together with its passions and desires.

    What a waste of paper. Do they really need all that to measure someone for the fruitage of the spirit? I don't think so.

    And I don't measure anything by those standards myself, either. I would rather measure my spirituality by how well I know how my soul works, how open my chakras are, whether I can sense Satan and His wonderful Demons, my ability to get these magical spells to actually work, and so on rather than on hours of field circus, boasting session attendance, and obeying the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger. Yes, I have much to be desired by this measurement, but at least I know where I truthfully stand. Better to be doing poorly in a good religion than to be doing well in a very bad one.

    Oh, I'm sure there is an "offical" Form Committee.

    Wouldn't surprise me if "unoffically" the people are also judged by their personal appearance.

    Anyone who distributes or completes a form like this is no "brother". Why would you use that word in this connotation? Maybe it was a 'slip on the keyboard' because when you think about it, no "brother in Christ" would even consider quantifying something like this. The sect of the Pharisees is alive and well, and it is called the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

    It's over the top. Everything/one needs to be in a form and categorized.

    It demonstrates how in order to "progress" in the truth, you HAVE to be a man pleaser. Every assignment is based upon what men think of you and in a spiritual paradise, that shouldn't be the case...

    I wonder how Abraham would do on these sheets...
