Finally, after almost a month, I get a response from my mother about the UN. For those who didn’t see her original letter and my response, just click on the sheet of paper icon in my profile and you can catch up on this.
I will place my comments in italics and names will be replaced in parentheses.
Dear Ranchette,
…………For the record I want you to know that I was making a statement in my last letter, about (your son) in the military, not expressing anxiety. On the contrary, the way world events are unfolding, I’m more confident than ever, and have never felt more secure.
My mother was laying a guilt trip on me in her last letter and said that she wouldn’t be surprised if my son (her own grandson 9yrs old by the way) ended up coming home in a body bag if he is drafted or joins the military! When I responded to her statement I told her that I understood why she said things like that, it was because of anxiety.
Notice how she hatefully and stubbornly makes sure I understand that she stands behind her original statement?
She continues:
If were banned, imprisoned, murdered, with Jehovah’s help, I’ll stay faithful, like my brothers in Germany, Russia, and Malawi etc. Satan will never eradicate Jehovah’s people and neither will his co-horts.
I didn’t find the info you sent interesting and neither did your dad.
My dad is DF’d and just went back to mom and org. after the WTC tragedy)
We find it disturbing as to how you perceive it. Those who fight against the society always deal in half-truths or taking things out of context or out right falsehood.
Whatever the situation is, we’ll wait on Jehovah to correct matters, as we always have.
You mentioned riding on the back of the wild beast. You wouldn’t know what the wild beast is if it wasn’t for the faithful slave.
I was very skeptical when I first started studying in 1968. So when it came time to study about immortality of the soul, hell fire, and later trinity, I looked these teachings up in my American Enclypedias. Secular sources back up the truth of Gods word on these and other things. There is truth though you chose to deny it. And Jehovah’s people are the ones who have come to understand it and help others to be freed of religious falsehoods.
When you “open peoples eyes” so to speak, what do you give them in return?? You tear down their faith and what hope for the future do you give them? Nothing of a permanent nature. Good deeds are a temporary fix at best. They do not and will not eliminate the world’s problems. They can’t do what only Jehovah’s kingdom can do in the hands of his son-Christ Jesus.
On the other hand we mind our own business, and teach people from the Bible how to be better persons. How to live productive lives. Oh! Yes! There are ones who don’t live up to their claim, but the Bible shows that was true in the early Christian Cong. That doesn’t make it not the Truth. We give people a real hope for the future, real meaning to their life, helping them to come to know Jehovah as the real spirit person person he is.
You inferred that I’m a puppet of a man made org. Deny all you want that it is Jehovah’s organization. I know better, and I would rather be a puppet of Jehovah’s organization than a puppet of those who are fighting against the truth.
You said at one time you wouldn’t want to influence anyone else concerning their faith, but now you’ve progressed to the point of doing just that.9Your Aunt and Uncle) did not appreciate you sending them that letter. Were not denying that the information. We are leaving matters in Jehovah’s hands.
There will be a cry of “Peace and Security”, Babylon
will be destroyed, and we will be attacked. I thank Jehovah that he is my refuge.
I agreed not to debate with you, but you’re the one that opened this can of worms.
If you want to let us know how the family is doing, fine, but please don’t send any more “information” and I’ll respect your wishes and not write about the “truth” It makes me very sad to see how you have changed. You may be “ happy” living by your own standards, but Jehovah is not one to be mocked. Gal6: 7
It is a fear-inspiring thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
That’s not a threat that is a scriptural quote. Heb10: 31
Love,
Mom
