  Ahhh...to be young and actually worry about that stuff...glad I'm an old heiffer that is happy as long as I can maintain my currently overweight weight.

  I was able to loose the 'baby fat' after all three of my boys were born, but after having my daughter at the age of 38, already heading in that direction when I got pregnant, I just said...well, I guess I can't say it without offending some.

  After one of my male friends jokingly told me that I'd put on some pounds (some joke) and asked why I wasn't dieting I replied, "Why bother, I'm already married."

  Anyhoo, good luck Lisa. Keeping with a regular exersize regime will definitely help you loose it quicker.

  (((ConnieLynn))) I'm so sorry this is happening. I wish I knew what you could do to make this all work out for the best.

  I don't think that I could stay away if it was my mother, but I've never had to deal with mine making the sort of extreme choices that yours is. I agree that her mental state probably isn't the best right now, so perhaps she would have a change of heart once she realizes just how much you do care about her.

  I don't know.

  Those bastards have harmed and continue to harm so many people and their families it makes me physically sick. I hope you find the strength to deal with this horrible situation.

  Man, my head hurts...

  discussing the wachtower with an active drone is worse than the morning after drinking a bottle of tequilla.

  it's worse than banging your head against a steel wall.

  it's a freaking effort in futility.

  2. beliefs

  i am going to stick my neck out and postulate that the gb is not evil .

  nor is the watchtower society as a whole.

  i'm sorry this got a little long but please accept the challenge and show me wrong.

  Hi Just2laws! I think the answer to your question depends on whether or not you think they fit the following description given by Jesus:

  Matthew 24:48,49 But if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, 'My master is delaying,' and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with confirmed drunkards, the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and an hour that he does not know, and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and gnashing of teeth will be.

  Personally, I think they fit the MO of an 'evil slave' to a tee.

  Does Knowledge of Evil Condemn Us?

  by JosephAlward in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ordinarily i would post this topic in the "bible research" forum, but i found the following on the "friends" forum, in the "tree of what" thread, so i will leave it here.. achristian explains,.

  [when] free people have a knowledge of evil they always, at least briefly, consider doing evil.

  and, even having evil thoughts for a brief fleeting moment makes people less righteous than god.

  What is evil really except something that isn't true? Whether it's something like Cain, believing that he would be happier if his brother was dead and that he could kill him without repercussion; or a person believing that a manmade 'organization' is God's channel of communication?

  Evil is based in falsehood. It is darkness, without enlightenment, without truth.

  Wherever the Light of God shines on something, it isn't dark anymore. It is exposed for what it is. If the Light shines in darkness, it's not darkness anymore. When the truth is revealed, the lie has no place. It can't exist anymore.

  I agree with aChristian that the 'knowledge' denoted in Genesis refers to an 'intimate' relationship with evil...with lies. When you believe or tell a lie, you are promoting evil and what results.

  If you know something is a lie and expose it for what it is, evil no longer has a place. In God's Light, there is no darkness, thus no 'evil'.

  In answer to your question then, no, knowledge of evil doesn't condemn us. Perpetrating lies and allowing a place for evil is what condemns us.
