it seems the wtbts is gearing up to blame nearly every failure by congregation members on greediness.

materialism is greed.

addiction to pornography is greed.

do you every worry about dying?

do you think that you probably won't have a very long life?

for those who believe that they will go to heaven after they die, why are they so anxious to live? If I knew I was going to heaven I would be waiting to die. To be with the Lord and God, I couldnt wait.

Tried to kill myself twice. No longer afraid. Still a bit afraid to live, but I'm coping well all in all.

Thinking of Him and Jesus with every move I make. Wanting to please them and make them proud of me and a sadness of displeasing them.

However, I have to say that I too am grateful that I didn't lead anyone into the organization. I would feel guilty about it now, probably in somewhat the same way you would feel about teaching your kids about Santa Claus (judging from your comments on the Santa thread).

Your right. I agree also. I am sadly too familiar with your feeling of guilt. At one point in my walk with Jehovah and Jesus I became disheartened at the people in my Hall. 98% were lying backstabbing gossiping hypocrates. So I told my self I am not going in Service and lead ANYONE to this Hall. I would feel guilty. I do not blame the faithful and Discreet Slave for the way those people were and still are. I receive the same info as they do and I am not like that.There are other reasons why people are like that and still claim to be a Christian. But then I thought...."There are no conditions attached to the Preaching work, whether or not I should do it." I now PREPARE bible students for the "FRIENDLY FIRE" they will receive in due time.

It is not a right it is a RESPONSIBILITY! A Christian obligation. Jesus did it all the disciples did it. Paul did it......
