What i initially sent, just with his name on it::
Joel,
This is a letter to everybody about the actions of the witnesses from this school. I’m very concerned. I have noticed that a lot of us have been dating, watching rated R movies, cursing, and other things. It is very hard for all of us to remain faithful to what we are taught from the bible and stand against the worldly “crowd” when the other students just shrug off what we say and think to themselves “The other witnesses do it; why aren’t they doing it?” I’m not saying that I am perfect or that I’m just trying to pick out flaws, because I am working on some myself, but it is very hard to do so when everyone else is acting like they are part of the world. It’s especially sad to see worldly people who act better than baptized witnesses. Even though some here aren’t baptized and say that one of their goals is to do so, acting in this way shows that in their hearts, they truly don’t want to or else they would be acting better. Not only students, but teachers can tell also. We have a witness teacher here,
Mr. Yen; don’t you think he can tell?? Well, he can. The brothers are always teaching us not to lead a double life, and there are some here at this school that do. Your parents are probably not aware of what you are doing, but they need to be told.
You don’t have to reply to this message, but you can if you want. I’m sending this because I really need to get this off of my conscience. Im really concerned and I want all of us to be in the new system of things.
Munch agape love, Alissa.
Thats very nice that your being thoughtful.. but if this email doesnt apply to me. And I don't think it was appropriate, if you are concerened about an individual, you speak with the individual, don't send out emails to all the witnesses, because some (like me) may get offended.
-Joel
I sent it to ALL of the witnesses, even to my friends to which it didn't apply because it needed to be told, and to EVERYONE, regaurdless. You always get in a tuff when people send things, like chris did, when all you have to do is read it and move on if you dont think it applies to you.
But do you see what I'm saying?.
Why are you sending it out to everyone? whats the purpose of it? You're making others feel uncomfortable. But in that case heres what I want you do, take me out of your Jehovah's witness email list because I don't like you emailig me stuff that has nothing to do wiith me, especially stuff so personal. Its good your concerened but i think you took the wrong way about dealing with the situation through email.
Actually, i talked to my parent about it, and they said i needed to send it to EVERYBODY. I think you're the only one uncomfortable. Like i said before, you are always complaining about people just trying to help out a little bit. As far as I'm concerned, this email is over, and I will not reply any longer because it is a waste of my time to listen to you complaining to what you should just be listening to, reguardless of the fact that you belive does not apply to you.
Was i wrong in what i sent?? please respond with your thoughts, people!!
