Dear Friends,
I've been lurking here for years and I have sometimes commented things when I have felt for doing so. To my relief there are some friends here that set things into perspective.
So what did you expect during the last days?
That everybody among JW's people should be faithful and discreet? (Rev 2:2, Matthew 24:10-14, 48)
Look at the history of the past. Look at the Catholic Church as an example. You see the flaws of religion? - Why do you expect us to be any different? Are we not all sinners?
All right! There is a difference. The fire of Hell is put out. The classic trinity doctrine is dead. The soul becomes dust. The work of uniting peaceful people from all around the world continues. (Es 2) “We ain't gone study war no more.”
So why should I defend the human weakness that all mankind is subject to?
Shouldn’t I fight it?
So friends, when you see the Wall in front of you, please do not forget about the proportions.
Love from
