    Enjoyed great post.

    Q12/Q14 God requires..Orders to do something.No human parents requires or wants that kind of love.

    Q15 Read the bible..it teaches us about God.Let's see no bible for 2500 years of man's history,than in bits and peaces for 1600 years and written in such a way so no one could understand it, that we need a FDS to explain it.

    Q16 Jesus ministry.He promised to bring an end to sicknes,sorrow and death.We have been waiting for almost 2000 years.Many promises,short on keeping them.

    Why must we love God?

    Is it love if we must be commanded to love God?

    I believe God is not different than us in heart and mind, so I see this commandment as an expression of extreme frustration on His part since Israel had never stayed faithful to Him thus showing a true lack of love for Him.

    I have often voiced my complaint to Him in prayer about His "commanding" us to love Him. Its a poor choice of solution to His dilema.

    so now it's, you must love God not because the bible says it but because the WTBTS says it. I just love those parts where the WTBTS sounds off like they actually conducted a study and it's not just something they pulled out their A$$ . Yah many people blah blah , I suppose they are invisible people or imaginary ones . Now we have to wait til next week to learn what love of neighbor is . Probly just be more regurgetated crap that nobody will actually emulate but will have the right answers during the study just to show they are a good dubby.If I remember correctly there are parts in the new testament showing people that prayed to jesus , I suppose the WTBTS never read those parts .

    I asked why the CO was having dinner with them instead of someone from the congo they were visiting, and he said, "There's just nobody there that they connect with." I happened to know the congo in question was materially poor by comparison to our own, and most others. I said, 'You mean nobody there would have them over for dinner?" He said, "Well, whenever they go to someone's house for dinner, they sort of feel trapped and the food's not what they'e used to and they're forced to eat it anyway. And there's always some whack-job there who wants to complain about the congregation. It's just very uncomfortable for them." So, in order to save them from this horror, they were going to drive an hour each way and meet the CO and his wife at a very expensive restaurant and spend a couple of hours over a gourmet meal of several courses. Along with, of course, some 'upbuilding' conversation - which would involve gossip, of course, but apparently not of the 'whack-job' variety.

    Oh the horrors of listening to people's problems and concerns! How terrible for them!

    Today I got cornered by an elder. Apparently an unnamed publisher was complaining about how "the servants never comment." Now, I don't comment because I'm in the sound booth and I don't want to comment on these brainwashing sessions. I hope this doesn't blow up into anything, because at that moment I was ready to get confrontational. I gave a quick one at the halfway point.

    If anything, just means I need to rock that mask a little bit better. I hope nobody gets wise to the fact that I still post national average or near average service time, but never go out unless I'm conducting...

    Excellent work as always Blondie.

    This also jumped out at me:

    That is why Jehovah, through his organization, encourages us to read the Bible regularly.

    So much so that I boxed in "through his organization" in pen.
