I think I understand where he's coming from... I don't know if he's not in touch enough or if he cares enough to make himself clear, but this is what I've gathered:

I think he is saying that he PERSONALLY is stronger and he's appreciative of the strength that his kids have made NECESSARY for him to cultivate. In comparison, OLD childless Brotherman is less wise and less strong than the NEW Brotherman and he became aware of the imperative need to wise up and draw closer to Jehovah for the sake of his families spiritual well-being. He's just saying he feels he's PERSONALLY stronger than he was when he was where we are. And it's not anyones place to quantify that. Or measure strength or ANYTHING. Our circumstances and lives are way too different to get into a huff over this. Am I right?

No, I'm saying you are gay.

I'm saying you take a strong person, add kids and they become even stronger. I started studying before they came along.

If no one wants to recognize that, then fine. But I bet you a lot of parents will agree with me.

Haha. I was trying to give you the benefit, man. Now I see that you're just a jaded, angry douche who thinks he's stronger and wiser than anyone who doesn't have kids. Shameful.

I'm not angry, I'm just flabbergasted by you young people that can't see parents are strengthened by their children. You guys were making fun of people who had kids and wondering why they would do so. I'm just relating the benefits. You ask any elder or pioneer or publisher who had children, and they'll tell you that their children make them even stronger. I'd say I'm a little wiser in this area than a lot of others on here. As I'm sure you are wiser than me on another topic. We all have our strengths.

Use the elder body as an example. We in the congregation are their figurative children. You are gonna tell me that they don't become stronger having the responsibilities that they have over the flock? C'mon...

Did you READ what I wrote, you chucklhead? I understand what you're saying and it's cool and the gang, man.

AND at the end of my post I was just saying it's NOT for anyone to quantify or measure and certaily not to boast, like you're doing. You feel wiser and stronger than single folks and childless couples?! Fantastic! However, it should be a very personal and private "achievement" and if you had a humble, kind, or wise bone in your body you'd sprinkle this forum with loving insights rather than trying to pump up your nuts by spitting empty and subjective comments that we can't authenticate unless we actually have kids of our own.

Yeah, you're a tool. You're not wise at all. Get lost.

No, you said I'm only in the truth because of my kids. That is not the case.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Whoa, I never said that! I'm not even harboring that thought. What did I say that made you think I thought that?
