Elder Debios in Conroe, Texas justifies my boy not giving his father Spray II-my sailboats yacht tender and racing sailing dingy, by saying: "it's just a boat."
The fact that my boy is breaking the commandments regarding this boat-lieing, stealing, not honoring his father and has murder in his heart, makes no difference to the Jehovah Witness Church.
My boy continues to preach in front of the congregation and go door to door telling others how they should live.
They are out of tune:
The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our
powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid
boon!
The sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping
flowers;
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.--- Great God! I'd rather be
A pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less
forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
--William Wordsworth
They are also making sport of God's commandments:
The Bible is to the sailor a sacred book. It
may lie in the bottom of his chest voyage
after voyage; but he never treats it with
positive disrespect. I never knew but one
sailor who doubted its being the inspired
word of God; and he was one who had re-
ceived an uncommonly good education,
except that he had been brought up without
any early religious influence. The most
abandoned man of our crew, one Sunday
morning, asked one of the boys to lend him
his Bible. The boy said he would, but was
afraid he would make sport of it. "No!" said
the man, "I don't make sport of God
Almighty."
Richard Henry Dana
Sadly some of my boys behavior can be explained by past year drug abuse.
