We see things the way we want to see them
by kenpodragon in
1. jw
2. friends
the other night i was at my in-laws house for dinner.

they are both jehovah's witnesses and try every now and then to plant some thoughts in our heads to get us concerned.

this night was no exception, with small words and phrases popping up through the evening.

"So to me the term "that we see things the way we want to see them" is very truthful of my Witness life."
///////////////////
Very true Kenpodragon. As a Witness I saw what the WT wanted me to see and refused to see anything else that was contrary to WT teaching. To be in such a state of denial to facts that contradict your beliefs and allow such control over your life makes one a puppet in action and thought.
///////////////// "So as I stared into the eyes of my father-in-law as he asked me that question, "how can you not see what is happening as a sign of the end?" I really felt a bit of sadness that he could ask that question, but never understand my response. Do you know how this feels? //////////////////// Yes. I enjoyed your thoughts kenpodragon Scorpion

Down South, Bubba called his attorney and asked, "Is it true they're
suing the cigarette companies for causing people to get cancer?
"Yes, Bubba, sure is true." responded the lawyer.
"And now someone is suing the fast food restaurants for making them fat
and clogging their arteries with all them burgers and fries, is that true mister lawyer?"
"Sure is Bubba. But why you asking?"
"Cause what I want to know is, I was thinkin' can I sue Budweiser for
all the ugly women I've slept with?"

Sacred= ?

what's sacred to you?

what form/function does it take in your life?

I think most everyone holds different things sacred. This does not necessarily mean that they are sacred. For instance, the Mormon church holds the temple ceremonies sacred. To those outside the LDS faith, the ceremonies are nothing more than secret, there is a difference. I have seen the temple ceremonies on tape and read two manuscripts of what goes on inside besides knowing a few ex-temple Mormons. What goes on inside the ceremonies to the Mormon may be sacred, but to the one examining this outside the faith would look at it as a secret ceremony that basically accomplishes nothing.
I am not sure if this answers any of your question. I am not really sure what you are asking.

Hopefully your sister won't jump out of the frying pan into the fire.
