  but weirdly enough, i've been mentioned here before, when one of my posts at lj (about whether or not subjection to the organization is relative) caused a bit of a war among ljjws.

  i found this forum googling my username, actually.

  i was wondering if anyone here has any theories as to why it is that, the more meetings we skip, the less we want to go.

  I'm not breaking any rule, it's probably not encouraged.

  Well, if you think like that then why believe in the bible iether. It was imperfect men who wrote it. Jehovah is an organized God and would only have one truth. I believe by the evidence that I do have the truth. No other religion can answer questions or even withstand the bible. The organization have founded this truth and as we go on we learn more and more about it.

  hi right back at ya. I'm somewhat nervous you know putting my cents worth out there. It seems to me, that at first i didn't see, there are a lot here who are quite bitter about the organization. It is what jehoavh uses to accomplish his will. Poeple think that Jehovah witnesses are this snobby think they know it all group of people. lol I love the organization, dosen't mean that we are perfect. We don't publisize that we are. If that was the case why would we need the encouragement , the regular attendence of meeting and a personal study. So many people let others stumble them. It's really sad. There have been recent watchower studys that discuss that very issue. I really do appreciat your hello.

  I had gone to a convention in alaska and during the prayer I went over to a sister i didn't know and held her hand. We should look past our differences and faults so that we can maitian our love for one another and our relationship with Jehovah God. I'll give sisterly hello

  I would have to be honest, when i was young, for me taking the time to do study or to sit there at the meetings when i didn't want too was somewhat of a irritate. But now I am thankful, I only regret not making my step for babtizm any sooner. When you have Jehovah first in you life and strive to love him and hope and put faith in his promises nothing else matters, to me.

  It is a serious desicion when choosing a marrage mate. Matter of prayer is needed. Haveing good qualitys and being healthy spiritualy,has to do a lot on the out look on matters; helps in that area. If you have your personal relationship with Jehovah God and putting him above all things we will be apt to look for those who do the same.

  Going to the meetings is what helps grow together in one bond in the organization. When we go to the meeting we keep getting our "food". When one stops going it makes it an oppurtunity for satan to work on that. Why is there so much that works agianst you from makin it to meetings?I think that is a good question my self. That is where our personal relationship with Jehovah God comes in to play. When Jehovah is first in our lives and we love him we will do what it takes to keep our relationship. Jehovahs knows what is in your heart and he knows what you can do. Nothing should be placed in between that. Jehovah has commanded to not forsake the gathering, hebrews 10:25 Look for the informatiopn not on what people say what you should do., I like to give a sisterly hello

  You know i think that it is sad to hear ones who have gone away in that sense. My question is have you been able to keep your personal relationship with jehovah god. Do you think that you can still persue him and grow with that and still hope for his promises to be fullfilled. Sincerely in your heart and mind will you be able to progress and nurture your relationship. Beofre making such a desicion have you gave thought to asking or telling someone in the hall your concerns and thoughts. Pray sincerely to Jehovah and he will help you.

  You know as I have siad before the bible has principals and so there is were indivual can make there desicions. Parents are going on what they believe is what is going to benefit. When one has grown and can decide for them self, the matter shouldn't even be irrelevent. lol Jehovah commands that you respect your parents, so that there is peace, you don't what to be peaceful you want to be peaceable. And really you didn't get to watch some tv shows and so on and so fourth. Way out the balance between that and what privlages you did have. We have to be able to forgive just as Jehovah freely forgave us. I didn't have the greatest discapline but I understand why and the history and what has helped me is appreciation for what my parents have done for me. More and more as every teenger dreamed of freedom and respect I gianed that. They knew that I can handle my responsibilitys and make sound desicions. So with that siad, Well, i'll give a sisterly hello

  I'm in my first year of pioneering. I don't look at pioneer school as somthing that will advance me in job skill, education skills. Jehovah has sought out those with barley an education or those with who don't have the greatest jobs. It's the heart condition and it's not that you have to but you wanted to. Going to pioneer school is an oppurtunity to associate and to learn, and gian good personal study habits. If Ihappen to not make my service hours on time, it's no one to blame and not your self iether, it just didn't work out and there is next year. Your service you put in is between you and Jehovah God, not the people or the pioneer sessions. I do what I can , keeping in mind modesty.

  You know i think it would depend on a lot of things. Putting Jehovah first and striving to be more spiritualy mature has a lot to do with it. When looking for that special someone , knowing that dateing isn't recreational, knowing who you are and what your looking for and seeking one that is as or more spiritual than you can help in the process. The young people ask book is really great on the subject. Asking yourself , do i have the qualitys to offer or sustian a successfull relationship?, do i really want to take on this role,? A nother thing to think about, it may sound rough but, everybody knows where they are at spiritualy, so it's only reasonable that one who is persueing jehovah a great deal in their life would only consider those who do the same. Being spiritualy mature has a lot do with who you would attract in the truth (in most cases). This i s want i have gathered basicly. Those who are not showing brotherly affection towards one another isn't displaying love, humility and modesty. That is a signal at where their spirituality is. Those wouldn't be ones to want to persue such relationships evedently. I wouldn't. It would show where your standerds are at. And age has (maturity) a lot to do with it. It is a matter of prayer and keeping jehovah first in your life and everything alse will follow. lol
