I've been reading these posts and I think some of these are down right immature and shameful.
Some of you ,obviously, do not believe in theocratic structure or order nor do you have
appreciation for all that the Governing Body
has
done for you. Didn't they help you become a better person, a better husband, wife, or an obedient child?--by means of the scriptures?--
Did you not read and apply the lessons they have given you to be so? Or have you just been
going through the motions of personality change and meeting service requirements in a perfunctory
manor?
Did you not see how orderly and structured the prophesy about the'Spiritual Temple' arrangement spoken in Ezekiel? It's the theme
of our Watchtower lessons for last Sunday, this Sunday and the following Sunday. Have you quit attending the meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses? Quit partaking of the water issuing from the 'Spiritual Temple'? Those who reply negatively to my
message willbe doing so under the watchful eyes of Jehovah.Have you x=Jehovah's Witnesses lost all of
what you have been given? The scriptures do indicate that this will happen to those leaving the true faith. And so you do not want to
feed
from the faithful slave anymore? Why? Is it because you call them liars because the past dates were not to your liking? Or of their other prophecy explainations? The Governing body did not and has never lied to anyone concerning
the 'dates' that so many have questioned or any of the other information they have presented. They made the them with a sincere heart, one that was meant to help and encourage you. Are you not grateful for there concern and loving efforts
on your behalf?
Please Go, if you will, to your dictionary and
look up the defination of the word,'LIE'
Never mind, I will do it for you.
Lie simply means- - 'A false statement known to be
false by the person saying it.'--A
false statement
deliberately made with the knowledge that it is
untruthful and with the purpose of deceiving, some
times hurting someone.' etc.
I found this in my dictionary right under the
defination of 'LIE'---
'A faithful witness will not lie'---Prov.14:5
The Governing Body did not lie!
If they are guilty of anything, it would be that they had alot of ZEAL! And what is wrong with
that? This zeal did produce results, perhaps it helped alot
of you, Brothers and sisters, in the
Truth, to be in line for prospects of a wonderful future! How shameful to turn your back to them
and not support them in their earnest efforts
to help others, like yourselves, to learn
about
God's Kingdon and the future for mankind. If you
have stumbled anyone from learning how to gain
life, then this is a very serious thing.
You could be blood guilty.
