well in that case, they should have at least been more reasonable and look at the works itself, and not on the man. whether or not the deed itself is good or evil. but since they knew him too well-he basically grew up in front of them, it was difficult

Found a scripture where Jesus is clearly manipulating people
by cptkirk init's a scripture that is very well known (at least among witnesses) , relatively well known.
it is clearly manipulative, and the irony being that i've seen an elder use it for his own manipulative purposes as well....in a similar circumstance that jesus used it in.
when you look at it again, you may not have seen it this way, but you will now.. i am not trying to put jesus on trial here, simply trying to point out something that is very obvious, and yet most people probably never stepped back and realized what he was actually doing here.. it is mark 6. they are stumbling over jesus (spiritually stumbling), so did he say a prayer for their hearts to be opened?

"By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear."
Now how would this prophecy be fulfilled? Certainly not through God's display of power, men are sick of other men abusing it. They will rather die than give in to a God abusing his power. All their life they suffered from their fellowmen because of it. But how will it be fulfilled that "every knee" will do it? Through mercy and redemption? We will see.

Books that make you go hmm....
by jgnat init's occurred to me that i have been reshaped by the books i have read, taking my new knowledge for granted, and forgetting that those around me have not been on the same journey.
as a consequence sparks fly, as iron sharpening iron, as we strive to understand each other (or to insist that we are not the same).
there are a few books that stand out, as i refer to them over and over again.

Crisis of Conscience - Ray Franz "humble" sharing of experiences helped me see things that deep inside I knew was wrong but can't put my fingers on.
Mere Christianity - Written as a result of public radio talks given by C.S Lewis during WW2. This also mirrors the mans journey from atheism to christianity and his arguments behind it.

JW preached to me not knowing I'm still in...
by OneDayillBeFree inso i was working at my 2nd job today in a store and i was the cashier for most of the day.
it's been about 2 weeks since i've been to a meeting & i hadn't shaved so i had a somewhat hipster-ish stubbly beard going on.
also my hair has gotten slightly longer, nothing noticeable to the world but something that would turn a few heads at the kingdom hall.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
