Ain't it the truth. The hits just keep on coming. It confirms for me that Satan dosen't care about how many casualties he causes along the way. Don't let it get you down. We're shoulder to shoulder and have Jehovah's backing.
Aww, that made me smile. Very nice, Forreste. :)
I'm glad I could make you smile. We're all fighting such a hard battle right now-with ourselves. I only really know what I experience personally. The things Satan does just makes me sick. I know that I have to rely completely on Jehovah otherwise I'll end up in the same sinking ship he's in. I also know there are many many people in the organization going through similar or worse circumstances. As people grow up, they have a natural tendency to get wrapped up in their own lives, but we can't survive without each other.
Yeah, we totally couldn't make it without each other. There's a young friend in our hall who we spend a lot of time with; she's 16 and everything with her friends is 'the end of the world'. I have to laugh, because I remember that feeling when I was that age. But now, it's nice to realize that we can't sweat the small stuff with people who aren't spiritual (and act like it); they won't stay in the truth too long anyway. I wish I could impart the wisdom to this sister of only keeping true friends around and not worrying about everyone else, but I think that's a lesson everyone needs to learn for themselves.
