Rick,
::It highlighted very clearly that the overriding substance or spirit of the law of the Christ is love. That Jesus featured this quality 28 times in his last recorded private meeting with his apostles.
:You've shown that indeed reform is not only possible, but it is happening right before our eyes. Jehovah does reach out and correct the faltering way for those with the right heart condition.
Huh? Even a moron could see that Jesus' overriding message was one of love. If it was mention 28 TIMES in only his last private meeting with his apostles, then what has this "Bible based" Religious Corporation been DOING for the last 80 years, anyway? I'll tell you: preaching hate, moral and religious superiority, alienation, hostility towards public charity, squashing of personal opinion, destruction of uncounted thousands of families, the murder of 6 billion people so that only a fraction of the 1/10th of 1 percent of the world MIGHT gain salvation if they follow the above rules.
Jehovah has nothing to do with guiding them anywhere. It's called Corporate damage control because their membership and revenues are continuing to dwindle as we speak, and no doubt such dwingling will escalate dramatically as more people see the flood of information exposing their well-ducumented history treachery. Their FINALLY getting the message of "love thy neighbor and thy brother" is something that billions of people discovered millennia before before C.T. Russell started this whole goofy religion.
I know you are the eternal optimist, Rick, but your optimism is sadly misdirected at a very corrupt and misguided religion.
The wineskins are rotten, and pathetic attempts by the WTS to finally sound like a "normal" Christian religion has a very hollow and self-serving ring to it, IMO. And I doubt it came about because "Jehovah" finally decided to do something that should have been done the day JFR seized control of the IBSA 82 years ago and he and his legacy ruined and literally destroyed so many precious lives.
