Would You Rather Be Told The Truth Or Not? (page 2)

It would depend on what truth it was. If it was 7 days to live, yes I'd want to know cuz I'd quit my job and spend every minute enjoying my girl.

I always want to know everything, even if it does hurt me (and there is always that chance that I'll find out anyway). for me ignorance is not bliss.

I believe a lot of people do not want to know the truth about the "truth". They prefer to bury their heads in the sand than THINK! Millions of JW's either have no clue or are purposely avoiding dealing with the truth vs. the lie.

FACT:

"you will learn the truth; and the truth shall set you free"...like it or not, I think most of us on this board have learned the truth.

It's only a fact if you can believe that what you "know" is the "truth".

Minimus -- I would prefer to know -- let us take a hurtful situation. Let us assume my wife has another man and is having sex with him behind my back --- would I want to know. YES --even though the truth is painful -- The truth sets us free -- but it can cause pain -- that is why there is much pain on this board -- or I sense there is

So Stilla, are you trying to say that you think your wife's having an affair with someone on this board? Hmmm. That's what I thought.

.....Only kidding....I got your illustration.

Some persons pride themselves in ALWAYS being honest, in always telling the truth. But if a person was very, very ill and was no doubt going to die within a year, yet you were afraid to tell them the whole truth, for various reasons, would you feel compelled to tell that person everything that you know?
