Use Your Brain<\/h2>\n

Use your brain is another way of saying use common sense.<\/p>\n

Did Jesus withdraw periodically to pray (talk to His Father) alone because in that way He could get away from the distractions that might sway His good judgment and make Him go along with the crowd?\u00a0 Or perhaps even He needed to gain a fresh perspective?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve noticed that sometimes it is difficult to be aware of the errors of a group if one is immersed in everyday goings-on.\u00a0 One needs to get away and get a fresh perspective.\u00a0 Perhaps that is why groups that brainwash don\u2019t want their members (sheep) straying from the fold.\u00a0 They don\u2019t want them to use their God-given brainpower to figure things out for themselves.<\/p>\n

Don’t let others think for you. Use your brain.<\/p>\n

\u201cRetreats\u201d sponsored by organizations would not qualify as getaways of the type Jesus used to communicate with His Father, God.\u00a0 Although much good can result from these retreats, they can also be used to further the errors of the group involved.<\/p>\n

Why urge people to use \u201cdiscernment\u201d and to listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit if you only want them to follow along without questioning the organization\u2019s narrow, official thinking?<\/p>\n

Think for yourself. Use your brain. It’s common sense.<\/p>\n
