.....according to my father.
He decided to talk to me today about my meeting attendance. I haven't been to one in 3 months by the way. So he goes on to give me the usual.."you know where you're supposed to be 3 times a week"......."you're not taking full advantage of Jehovah's provisions"....."you shouldn't let anyone discourage you to the point of missing meetings"....that type of stuff.
He then went on to say that if you aren't taking full advantage of what Jehovah provides then you're worshipping Satan instead of Jehovah. Ok, now this is the hysterical thing about the entire matter....he hasn't been to a meeting in a few weeks himself! He doesn't read the Bible or the publications from the "UnFaithful and NonDiscreet Slave.
So with some quick thinking I asked him..."so if a person doesn't read the Bible, isn't that not taking advantage of what Jehovah provides?" He knew I was talking about him, so he said.."are you talking about me?" "I'm just asking", I said. He said, "well yeah that's the same but we all of our things we need to work on, but Satan sure doesn't want you to get to those meetings."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I feel so sorry for him. It's like he can't even stop and think about how much of a folly his argument is, and it once again shows how dangerous the Borg is in what they've instilled into their members, which is the false saving power of it.
