  paragraph 14: .

  "this means that we need to examine our heart constantly to see if it is being enticed by worldly entertainment, associations, and styles of dress and grooming.

  or the love of the world might involve efforts to attain “great things,” such as through the pursuit of higher education.

  LOL@ whomever gave me a down vote. That's funny. I couldn't have been more detailed or accurate as to why the Whack-tower is misapplying this text.

  FYI I didn't mean delete it, meant enough stroking this bozo's ego with faltering him with responses. Personally find little value in entertaining those who refuse to examine the whole picture. Let them live in denial.

  This is a complete oxymoron. Why? Because Baruch which this chapter concerns was a scribe and underling of Jeremiah. He was of noble birth and received schooling and training or he wouldn't be in the position he was in.

  While it is true that vs. 4,5 are an indication that Baruch was caught up in likely becoming a head of state the admonition here is one of refraining from politics more than anything.

  This chapter is better applied to not taking position in man's governments. As to higher education though it is completely irrelevant as Baruch had higher education.

  Complete misapplication in my opinion.

  @Simon I just PM'd him the same...he's got a relative url wrapped in there. I also cautioned him to not freak out or make assumptions but we know how that turned out.

  @MicaSmith no harm no foul but an apology would be in order my friend.

  death at the 'memorial'

  i just got the news from our former congregation in hollister, ca regarding a tragic event following the 'memorial' wednesday night.

  we shared the kh with 2 spanish congos.. a couple from the spanish congregation were leaving the kh so that the next spanish congo could have their 'memorial'.

  they exited the parking lot in their car when hit by an oncoming car right in front of the kh.

  They return for the social support system not because it's true. Let's face it you have a whole social structure handed to you in the org. That's the good part. The bad is that you may die because you're part of it and some doctrine or rule eventually affects you or your family.
