Letter of disassociation
Dear Sirs
Over the last 7 years I have become associated with the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society as a bible student. I read through the first parts of the Bible, and noted carefully the instances of unprovoked genocide, allegedly commanded by Yahweh (Jehovah), and allegedly carried out by the Israelites. (as an example read Deuteronomy 7:1-2). Fortunately I have recently been pointed by Joseph Wheless book Is it God’s Word (1926, published by Knopf, New York), who points out sections of the Old Testament which contradict its own claims of having exterminated the tribes of the holy land.
Then I read the new testament and found some comfort there, but no, I was revolted when Jesus said in John vi:
53. … Accordingly Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to YOU, Unless YOU eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, YOU have no life in yourselves. 54 He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I shall resurrect him at the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me forth and I live because of the Father, he also that feeds on me, even that one will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. It is not as when YOUR forefathers ate and yet died. He that feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 These things he said as he was teaching in public assembly at Ca·per´na·um.
60
Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said: “This speech is shocking; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them: “Does this stumble YOU? 62 What, therefore, if YOU should behold the Son of man ascending to where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that is life-giving; the flesh is of no use at all. The sayings that I have spoken to YOU are spirit and are life. 64 But there are some of YOU that do not believe.” For from [the] beginning Jesus knew who were the ones not believing and who was the one that would betray him. 65 So he went on to say: “This is why I have said to YOU, No one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
Firstly this is shocking. I was informed by Wheless in his 1926 book that it all realtes back to the alleged crime of eating from the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Somehow this is supposed to stain me and every other person with evil (sin), under the power of the devil. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are cults of devilry. You dream up demons and your witnesses go mad on their own imaginings of the devil and demons inhabiting their bodies. Insofar as Jesus preached or is alleged to have preached demon possession, I reject it, I deny it, and if he said it, I deny him.
