exerpt from 2/1/05 WT is the truth Bearing Fruit in Those You Teach?
Consider how another Christian was able to help her Bible student. The student was attending meetings and sharing in the ministry and had already expressed a desire to get baptised. However, she appeared to be relying too much on herself rahter that on Jehovah. "As a single woman, she had become more independant than she realized," the Witness recalls. "I worried that she was headed for a physical breakdown or a spiritual fall.
So the Witness too the initiative to reason with the student on Matthew 6:33, encouragin her to adjust her priorities, put the Kingdom first, and trust in Jehovah to work matters out for the best. She asked her frankly: "Does living on your own sometimes make it difficult for you to rely on others, including Jehovah?" The student admitted that she had almost quit praying . The publisher then encouraged her to follow the advice found at Psalm 55:22 and throuw her burden on Jehovah because, as 1Peter 5:7 assures us, "he cares for you." Those words touched her heart. The Witness says, "That was one of the few times I saw her cry."
I cold not help but think this Bible student would soon have quit her job to be in service more or whatever to gain what it took to be baptised. And that her independant spirit was squealshed (hey its a word in Arkansas) She would become a robot like all the others and really start to cry alot.
And I really did not figure out why her being independant was the problem........it just seemed distorted and twisted.
