the society sent Br. Loesch (GB) to South Africa
and Europe and he got confronted with the same
questions about what to do about all these kids
falling out of the truth.
His reply to these anguished people was that they
should do more personal Bible reading.
And, followers as they are, the circuit overseers
are now parroting this line - got problems with
your family falling apart, leaving the "truth",
well, just do more Bible reading.
I was wondering if these mentally challenged advisors
used the same approach if their car broke down or
if the roof starts to leak - just do more Bible
reading.
Now there are many fine admonitions in the Bible
about hospitality and charity and compassion that
could make a real difference in the lives of young
and old alike. The organization could steer people
to these fine commands and say that they are fully
equal to any command to "put in time" in the
door to door "ministry"
But of course, they won't.
They would rather mislead people into thinking that
somehow the "magic" of Bible reading will fix their
problems. They can't compromise their sterile ministry.

And so the anguish will continue, of parents in the
organization weeping over lost children.
All because of the blind, stumbling, clueless
shepherds who stubbornly lead them.
