  Question for Confession or anyone else who might now

  by Amha·’aret in

  i've just been reading the letter confession wrote to his mother.

  i noticed the following quote:.

  the first essential for study is the right condition of mind and heart, appreciating that jehovah grants understanding only to the meek, and not to the stiff-necked.

  Thanks Blondie. I thought that's what it might have been but it did surprise me that the rom has such a limited selction of older books.

  I've just been reading the letter Confession wrote to his mother. I noticed the following quote:

  “The first essential for study is the right condition of mind and heart, appreciating that Jehovah grants understanding only to the meek, and not to the stiff-necked. If we have love for Jehovah and for the organization of his people we shall not be suspicious, but shall, as the Bible says, 'believe all things,' all the things that The Watchtower brings out…” [Qualified, 1955, page 156]

  Where is this quote from? I'd like to see if in context. The WTLib only has books going back as far as 1971 so I'm at a bit of a loss.

  Thanks.

  My sister called! I've written her a letter...

  by Confession in

  i was working in corpus christi this past weekend, when my sister called out of the blue on sunday.

  she, like the rest of my family, is a very zealous jw, and since i am recognized as an apostate, i haven't seen nor spoken to her in about four years.

  i was completely shocked that she called.

  Wow! Really, WOW!

  Usually I skim read the longer posts but I just had to read this slowly and in its entirety. What a concise, easily-understand, non-thought-stopping letter. Amazingly well written. Well done!

  I hope it reaches your sister and many others since you've allowed it to be used by the other posters also.

  Ironing - without a doubt! I'll only do it if I can watch tv at the same time! Once our tv wasn't working properly for a few weeks. You should have seen the pile of ironing I had by the time it was working again! LOL

  Great video Lance. Gotta say I like the scripture that Mark Noumair used:

  (Proverbs 15:15) . . .All the days of the afflicted one are bad; but the one that is good at heart [has] a feast constantly.

  Am - of the "feasting constantly" class!

  how do you read?

  q 7. what can we encourage those who have strayed from the flock to do?.

  106:13) it may be helpful to remind an inactive one that "the faithful and discreet slave" is dispensing excellent spiritual food.

  Thanks for the analysis Mary. Have to say, they really have ramped things up with the public/jw-only WTs now. Madness!

  I hope I get the oppurtunity to share some of the points you made with some of the few dubs that still converse with me.

  Hey Quirky,

  Tell her there's no such thing as a PO anymore! It's now the COBOE (Coordinator of the Body of Elders) or some such legalistically adjusted jargon.
