  forgiveness is for you often - not the forgiven - let it go and move on

  Wow, Billygoat - you hit the nail right on the head......

  For me, forgiveness is a CHOICE not a FEELING. And, to me, the word forgiveness implies letting the "offender" off the hook.

  As far as I am concerned, the WTBTS does not deserve to be let off the hook, nor do the ones who hurt me, due to their involvement in the WTBTS, deserve to be let off the hook. And that is because not only are they not "sorry", but they CONTINUE to hurt and destroy many.

  To me, that is totally unacceptable AND unforgivable.

  i typed the above few words into google.

  if we look at the nwt's version of ephesians 6: 4, we read: "you, fathers, do not be irritating your children, but go on bringing them up in the discipline and mental-regulating of jehovah.

  " (ephesians 6:4. .

  For Lurkers.......

  by Gadget in

  this is an exerp from the 'truth' book, published 1981, ch 14 par 10.

  10at first one might reason that it is simply one minister who is wrong or certain church members who do not do right.

  but what if the minister who downgrades the bible continues to hold his position?

  One of the things that did it for me was the fact that truth never changes.

  If the "society" tells you something today, then gets "new light" on it tomorrow, what they told you today CANNOT be the truth because TRUTH NEVER CHANGES.

  Hi -

  Can anyone tell me if any rep. from SilentLambs or any attorney from Norris and Love have appeared on one of Bill O'Reilly's shows here in the U.S.? I believe he is on Fox News Channel and does the "No Spin Zone" and "The O'Reilly Factor". If they haven't, does anyone think it would be a good idea to contact him?

  From what I have read about Mr. O'Reilly, this is a topic that I think he would be very interested in. He has a book on the NYTimes bestseller list - "Who is Looking Out for You?" (I kid you not)

  Sincerely,

  Maya
