Randall,
You make a very good point. “Too busy to sin” is a statement I have heard in years past at WOFF. Constant activity is not an effective cure for “sin”. Knowing Jesus personally and the work He did/does for us, has been proven to be a way to walk away or be drawn away from sin. Drawn from sin to true life in Christ. You can’t “work” your way there… He does the work in us..

John

You had to be up doing something every minute. You had 10 minutes to get here, but bring a change of clothes because you would go somewhere else to work. You had to do this, then this, then this…continual. You were always running not to be late to anything, even Friday night fellowships. Do not sit, there is another floor to sweep, clothes to fold, another light to wire, etc. etc. So, to be quiet and wait upon the Lord was non-existent in the church world. The children had to be constantly being entertained or being productive as well. The word schizophrenic is used a lot there to describe people who cannot “take hold of their minds.” Children and adults were never allowed to “take hold of their minds”, because they were always told to be busy…no quiet time. It is so nice now…

I don’t see how I ever had time to do that!” So in the control that WOFF uses on its members one is kept so “busy” that there is no time for a NORMAL life. And what is everyone so busy doing? WHAT EVER THEY ARE TOLD BY AN AUTHORITY FIGURE TO BE DOING!!!! Paint fences, move people, paint others or church properties etc. I even was supposed to get permission to read the things I was required to read for work to fulfill the requirements of my profession.( we are required to have a certain amount of CEU’S yearly and read so many health care articles yearly.) So whose consent did I need? Love hugs and of course prayers to you John~~
