I am in the process of writing a letter to my mothers sister (Aunt) about the UN/Watchtower fiasco. My aunt will not speak to my mother or father because they are d'fed (for the UN/Watchtower fiasco). However, I guess she thinks that I am a weak link and she sent me a letter, basically, stating the same thing that all JW's say in defence of the Watchtower. You know it wasn't wrong, blah, blah, blah.
Well, I was discussing the letter I am writing back with my mom and she thought that I made a noteworthy comparison and she thought that I should put it here on JWD. She and my father both thought that it could be used for other JW's as a viable argument point.
The point is this:
The Society has a branch New York City. The home of some of the worlds best and biggest libraries. Not only that but they have branches all over the world, which would give them access to any library in the world. Which, reminded me of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. They had access to every tree in the garden. They could have gone to any tree for food. Jehovah had given them a simple little instruction at Gen. 3:3 - But as for [eating] of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it that you do not die.' The Society has behaved in the exact manner as Adam and Eve, Jehovah put restriction on one thing. Any library in the world was at their finger tips. But they couldn't resist the urge to touch the forbidden UN Library. Which, all of us here know, that it wasn't just for a library card but even if it was, it was a simple command to not touch it. They were told by Jesus you are supposed to flee when the just catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation. They didn't flee, and they didn't not touch it. They ate of the forbidden fruit. They have coupled themselves with the one organization that we were instructed to leave alone. By their own words they condemned other religions for touching this forbidden thing and then they did the same thing that they condemned others for doing. Adam and Eve had every tree availble to fill their need, just as the Society had every library at their disposal. Yet, that wan't enough. The consequences of which are the same as those in Genesis. Revelation 14:9-12. Anyone who receives the mark will die.
Anyway, I know that the UN thing has been beaten to death but I wanted to put another punch in.
