Mr Gordon you havent learnt everything from someone else. Your conscious would have been present prior to the knock on the door. You had a rational mind that is naturally inquisitive and questioning. -------- RM, Of course I had a conscience but it was being shaped and calibrated by the environment I immersed myself in. I played soccer, rugby league, squash was in a surf club all of which regarded heavy drinking as normal. Not surprisingly I returned a blood alcohol level of 0.295 following a car accident. I then bought a milk run so that I could pursue my goal of living off gambling while fudging my taxable income. How well do you think my conscience was guiding me to this point? Around this time I married & had children growing up. What sort of an example was I for my children? Only when I learned of Jehovah's great love for mankind & that he was willing to be my mentor (Isaiah 48:17,18) could I see the need for guidance superior to my own ideas or those with whom I associated. I am so glad someone knocked on my door & pointed this out.
