    Jehovah's Witnesses are the "rightest" people on earth. They never admit to mistakes. And if they do, more often than not,obvious sincerity is lacking. Most of us are products of our environment. We cannot easily lose what we were raised with, what we have become accustomed to. I know I have to always try to readjust my attitude when being given direction because sometimes, I'm wrong too! Not being able to apologive and get along with persons is a terrible trait. Can YOU apologize when it is pointed out that you're actions and attitudes are wrong??

    I have the opposite problem. I apologize for stuff that isn't even my fault.

    I can, but it is sometimes hard to accept. Especially when I put so much effort into claiming I'm right. That one time I really had to swallow my pride.

    Yes! I feel so stupid when I'm wrong that I apologize profusely.

    I even apologize when I'm right or when I've won something. I've got to stop that.

    I have no trouble apologizing when I'm wrong. It's just that sometimes is hard to know who is wrong. So usually I apologize even when I'm not sure who is wrong....just to keep the peace...and freindships

    Sometimes, we apologize when things get soooo bad and then it's just too late! Did you ever notice that??
