The Bible clearly describes some present day organizations
that are "appointed by God" - who are they ?
Governments! (Romans 13:1,2 Jerusalem Bible)
The Society keeps repeating the same lie, over and over
again, that they are the ONLY earthly organization that
represents God - while the Bible flatly contradicts
such a notion.
When faced with this plain scripture, the Watchtower
will claim that governments are appointed by God to
build schools and roads, and enforce laws (while making
it next to impossible for a Witness to be a police
officer). BUT IS THAT ALL THAT GOVERNMENTS DO?
Has the Watchtower been so eager to condemn governments
influenced by evil that they have ignored GOD USING
GOVERNMENTS FOR A MORAL PURPOSE?
Slavery doesn't exist because governments made it
illegal. The air you breathe is cleaner, in most
American cities, because governments took action
to STOP "ruining the earth"! Likewise, there are
countless rivers , now filled with living fish,
because governments took action.
I get disgusted when I see perhaps the greatest
moral movement of the 20th century ignored or given
scant attention by the Watchtower:
Civil Rights
People braved lynch mobs, vicious dogs, bomb threats,
and jail terms to establish freedom and dignity -
by NON-VIOLENCE. The system worked! Governments moved
on a God-ordained course while the Society built a
cult structure.
And Social Security? Are there poor brothers and sisters
out there who would starve to death , listening to
the Watchtower's empty promises that the "End is very
soon now"?
Thank GOD that governments provide for the elderly
and foolish - with monthly checks!
And while we're at it (thank you Barbara Anderson!)
apparently the God appointed governments are disposed to
investigate - and perhaps punish - the Watchtower Society
in regard to molested children.
Well, Godspeed!
