To You, Is "Nice" a Four-letter Word?

by snowbird in

i've noticed several posters who exhort others to be nice or play nice.. here in the south, being nice is simply about being.. is that how it is with you?.

thanks for any responses.. syl.

If I'm so intelligent how did I get drawn in to it all?

by Lozhasleft in

i consider myself an intelligent woman...maybe not strong on the 'common sense' front, but academically i've done pretty well...so...how on earth did i not see through it all when i was studying in the beginning???.

i remember worrying about their 'sales pitching' styles and their arrogance of believing they had the 'truth' ...but still i got involved and became totally immersed in it all.

i feel like i sacrificied our whole family to them, who now shun me.. yesterday, my new son in law, he's a lawyer, asked me how i could have believed it wasnt a cult (topical word this week here) he said he didnt understand how i could have been persuaded to believe it all and trust them with so much and for so many years...... i feel ashamed of myself that i did and that i brought all this upon our family...anyone else relate?.

Don't beat yourself up 5thG. I think you recognized your error and your weakness. You have to be head strong.

phone call to Canadian branch office WTS

i asked why the '1914 generation' term was removed from the awake magazine masthead in november of 1995. the brother there told me that jesus said we are living in a time of change.

does anybody have scriptural proof of this?

does jesus apply this to his day or our day?
