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.
