IMPORTANT NOTICE "Due to the lack of public interest in sincere encouragement and a personal perspective of life as one of Jehovah's Witness, I am ceasing my work on this cite. It is clear to me that in today's ambivalent and emotionally numbing world that my responsibility lies with my own family and it is towards my own family that I now will focus. While this site was never brought forth in order to reap the applause of men, it has also failed to reach those who sincerely wish to make informed decisions about any religion they may join. Most individuals would rather allow others to make their decisions for them, or be swayed by the opinions of others: it neither is nor ever was the intention of this site to do either. Enabling others to make their own decisions, and then trusting that their Bible-trained conscience would guide them in the correct path should be a goal we all have in common, directing no person to anyone but Christ and our heavenly Father, Jehovah God-- never to any organization or church that originates with men." --Timothy B Kline, October 19, 2000 |
Community Responsibility and the Christian For me, this is the most important issue concerning my continued association with the Society. Do I remain an active Witness? Do I become inactive and still attend meetings, assemblies, and conventions? How do I handle hearing about subjects which I am not in agreement with? What do I tell the brothers and sisters... the elders... when asked why I'm not going out in the ministry? Am I being closed-minded about the imperfections of the Society? Am I seeking perfection in an imperfect world? What do I want from my relationship with Jehovah God? These are just a few of the questions I try to wrestle with through this immersive look into "community responsibility," both from the Society's point of view and the Bible's standpoint.
