Re: [JOYnet] SIMPLICITY.. my view...
Dear Abby, I always used to wear my new dress, if any , for the first time to church to show to Jesus!!! I had a firend who decided not to buy any new clothes for 1 year when he became a JY. He was very rich!So i suggested you should be doing some thing else too.. give your excess to others who don't have one.And i think he did...because later on i've to see him very often in same dress ..ha ha ha . I know of an elder who simply had just two pairs of white mundu and shirt and he always was found neat and clean with just a pair of dress.Even though he was a very busy person he had his dress always washed and ironed well without out a wrinkle.Very much challenging...eh? I have seen ,like other virtues ,,simplicity too is contagious. Praise the Lord.

My comments on [JOYnet] SIMPLICITY.. my view...
Hi Joynetters, Simplicity according to me is not important in the externals.. We are called to be simple and childlike in our hearts, in our faith and in our behaviour. The Book of Ecclesiastes encourages us to enjoy the honest pleasures of life right now and not wait or push it for the future.. The key words are honest pleasures.. If we have worked hard for it..then it is not a sin to enjoy it.. in a way which doesnt harm others... We dont try to show we are simple.. we try to be simple.. So our dress and other stuff need not be simple.. let it also be not to flashy also .. Except if we are called by the lord to be his clowns in this world ;-) We are always thought by the Word of God to be Moderate in all that we do.. and not extremists.. So let us ask for wisdom from the Lord , that we may be people of simple and childlike trust in him , that is the most important area where simplicity is required.. everything else will just follow.

Re: My comments on [JOYnet] SIMPLICITY.. my view...
Hi, I too agree with Ravifor most people when you talk abt simplicityThe first thing comes to mind is about the dress you wear...the way you look etc etc. I feel our priority should be the internal simplicity(I mean Simplicity in our hearts). If we try to become simple in our hearts...it will have an automatic effect on our external appearence and behaviour. Not by wearing simple dress or giving a simple looks will make a person simple. If Jesus has given you the best of things .I feel that we should use it and glorify Him..than saying I'd like to be simple ...so I prefer the other way.
