my reply

dear carlos

Im very glad to hear from you


i still go to kokura, next city from fukuoka in shinkansen, to see my ex wife with whom still in relation whom you know

heres my question

it took full four years to finish reading bible in english and i agree its not so easy to complete reading bible, because bible contains 66 different books.

its not easy but many can finish reading it

as a book, bible is never short, yet in the world there are many good books worth while reading

even in order to know the spirit of christianity well, do you think its enough for us to read only bible?

this is my question

i dont doubt the authenticity of bible and how some books were excluded from canonised bible

but i think there are many books that help us understand the spirit of chritianity well

for example, ' truth ' book published by watch tower

bible is the no 1 best sold book, and i was amazed to find ' truth ' is ranked in ten most distributed books

thats why we are reading and studying many publications from watch tower

and i suggest many hebrew scriptures are not religious, they are records of kingdoms and lengthy journals of their times

dont you think its worthy of our arranging the teachings of christianity in more concise form?

sincerely

eiko

Dear eiko,

how are you?

each time you email me you talk as if i will never contact you again.

But that is not the case.

Im happy to talk to you as long as you want to.

I havnt contacted you for a while because i have been very busy...as you can imagine,moving home and country is busy work and can be stressful and tiring..

the last 6 weeks of my time in japan were just that...and now i am back in Uk i am living with my mum and dad which is also stressful and tiring.

the weather here is very similar to fukuoka so its not so warm but at the moment its about 1o or 11 degrees and sunny.

I have been back in Uk for 2 weeks now and i have just got over jet lag and i have been using my days to find work and get a new home for when asami arrives back from Japan in 2 weeks.

I have very few possesions and so i have to buy many things again once i get a job...

im still a full time pioneering of the ministry and so at the moment im continuing in this work...and attending all meetings here which is nice and because its in british english im happy to hear bible truths in fluent english...

the congregation i belong to here though is a typical london congregation...typical london congregations have many foreign people especially compared to fukuoka and i guess anywhere in japan.

so i learn alot about different cultures and different viewpoints and lifestyles,religions etc..

anyway,please once you are able to,please continue to attend the occasional meeting in the aim of perhaps one day in the future,getting to most or even all the meetings...i learn so much about the bible and the future ..it helps me to keep positive in this difficult world.

im very sorry about being patchy in answering your questions recently...so please,if you have the time and desire still,please email me with another question..i promise you that i will answer you sooner or later...its just a busy time in my life right now in finding secular work and running my family life correctly.

i truly look forward to your email in the near future and i apologise for the long time for me to email you back...i have no dislike of you and infact i miss speaking to you in real and on email...its really just my current cicumstances that make it difficult ...

At my parents home i dont have a PC so i have to come here to the internet cafe to talk...so i cant be online everyday and every hour..

But i will check my emails at least 3 times aweek and i wil email you back.

please ask me a few more questions!

take care for now..and hope winter passes soon

Yours sincerely

Carlos
