I hear you, dear Zoe (peace to you, dear sister!). I didn't mean discussing things with our dear Lord... although that is absolutely possible and the first thing I would so... but things as to, about, and from our dear Lord. Sort of in line with the original purpose of this "city." I mean, given the true reason for the forum ("xjwsforChrist" and not "xjwsforbemoaningtheWTBTS, etc."), I think that if we put things of the spirit first, and pursue those, including discussing things of the spirit (which could include exposing false teachings of the WTBTS, yes, as such is revealed to us by Christ)... then the other would flow automatically.
On the other hand, if we shut ourselves off to... or even decrease in our... discussion of the things... or, more importantly, PERSON... that was the purpose for this city being constructed in the first place... some many... many... years ago... and instead make things more about ourselves/our lives... vs. about him.... then we should not be surprised if we are left to ourselves and things about ourselves, and so have less and less "new" things to "talk about", even have such dwindle, yes?
That's all I meant, luv. I do hope you are mending, absolutely, and I understand your... solitude... and how it may wear on you. I have learned (and will say, even at the risk of eye rolls) that I am never alone. Ever. There is no silence in the spirit realm (except maybe that one time). There is SO much to hear... even more than we have been given thus far. Thing is... do we (still) WANT it?
Again, I hope things are improving for you.
The greatest of love and peace to you, to dear John, and to your dear, dear household!
Your servant, sister, and a slave of Christ,
Shel
