My folks trained me to go to meetings. Not going to meetings was bad. I asked them when we were going to quit going to meetings and they said "never". My dad lied. He isn't going to meetings now. He wanted to obey what he read in his Bible. Praise God. I love you dad. Brad

I went because my parent went. I remember my first time in meeting I felt very uncomfortable, Like I didn't belong there. I said I would NEVER GO BACK. But then did. I went because my parent went. I professed because my sister professed. She had some sense. She was only in for a short time and left because she said she never met a bigger group of hypocrites, and she didn't want to be a hypocrite as well. I continued going because my parent went. I never felt comfortable around the workers. I never confiding in them, or discussed my spiritual well being with them. I never went to them for anything. There was just something about them I just didn't like. Though I loved many many many of the friends, and thought many of them had a wonderful spirit. I have NEVER held an exclusive mindset. It just came down to me realizing that I did not have the same mind as those in the truth. I didn't believe we were the only ones going to heaven, or that was even our place to say. God is in charge. He makes the rules. We are just servants. We should only be thankful everyday that God sent Jesus to die for us that we could have a hope of salvation. It is not our place to say were or were not God can work. So I left. I just didn't have the same exclusive mindset as those in the Truth, and did not want to be a hypocrite. So I left.

Hi Brad. Thanks for your last response to my query about video surveylance. Another question:
I understand we live in different countries. I am not a techno person. What is your opinion of me getting some IP WiFi video cameras? Our area has WiFi coverage, I am told. All I need is to purchase some of these cameras cheaply and set them up to monitor our property. We have a main entrance with electric gate about 200-250 yards from our house. We want to watch that. Also, we can't fence our creek properly so need cameras there too. All I will need is an internet connection, and maybe a dedicated monitor, or send the images to my cell phone. Wouldn't this be a simpler route for me to take? Thanks in anticipation.
