You have been interested in music. This has given incautious, unwise women opportunity, and they have confided their troubles to you. This has gratified your pride, but it has been a snare to you. It has opened a door for the suggestions of Satan. You have not done as you should. You had no right to hear in families that which has been spoken to you. These communications have corrupted your mind, increased your self-esteem, and led to evil thoughts. You have permitted yourself to be a confessor to some sentimental women who desired sympathy and wished to lean upon others. Had they possessed sound judgment and stood self-reliant, having an aim in life, loving to do others good, they would not have been in a condition where they needed to come to anyone for sympathy. {2T 301.3}

Du har været meget interesseret i musik. Dette har givet ubesindige, ukloge kvinder en lejlighed og de har betroet deres problemer til dig. Dette har fornøjet din stolthed, men det har været en snare for dig. Det har åbnet en dør for Satans tilskyndelser. Du har ikke gjort hvad du skulle. Du havde ingen adkomst til at høre det der blev talt til dig fra familierne. Disse (302) forbindelser har fordærvet dit sind, forøget din selvfølelse og ledt til onde tanker. Du har ladet dig bekende for nogle sentimentale kvinder som ønskede forståelse og at støtte sig til andre. Havde de en sund dømmekraft og stået selvstændig, med et mål i livet, elskede at gøre godt for andre, ville de ikke komme der hen hvor de skulle have andres forståelse.
