    ***Will Jehovah recognize you? (an illustration in a talk at an
    assembly)***

    There was a farmer who raised sheep and had trouble with wolves
    stealing his sheep. He loved his sheep and didn't want to lose even one of
    them.

    One day the wolves came and the farmer quickly raised his rifle and
    POW!- killed every wolf he shot at. As he turned his rifle toward a shadow
    He saw a puppy wolf huddling besides a fence post shivering. The
    farmer felt sorry for him, picked him up, tucked him inside his coat and took
    him home.

    As time passed, the farmer grew to love the puppy wolf and took him
    everyday to help him tend his sheep. The sheep loved the puppy wolf
    too,and thought of him as one of them. The puppy wolf learned to call the
    sheep by their names, just like the farmer did. It wasn't long before
    he grew to full size and the farmer trusted him to care for his sheep
    while he rode to town to buy supplies.

    Then one day the puppy wolf was running in the farmer's field and
    heard howling in the woods. He ran to the edge of the fence and watched as a
    pack of wolves approached. They seemed happy to see him although he
    didn't recognize them. One by one they told him of all the fun they
    were having, running anywhere they wanted, doing whatever they pleased...no
    one telling them what to do! They invited him to come on the other
    side of the fence with them. The puppy wolf thought about the fence, and
    how he'd never been on the other side of it.

    The more he listened he began to wonder if he was missing out on
    something. It only took another minute and he dug under the fence and left with
    the pack.

    For three seasons he lived with the wolves. They had plenty to eat and
    did whatever they wanted. It was such fun and he was glad for the
    choice he made. But winter came and everyone became hungry and restless. It
    was cold, so cold, where they had to sleep. The puppy wolf began to think
    about the farmer and how he'd never slept cold and never felt hunger.
    Soon he heard the leader of the pack announce it was time to steal
    some of the farmer's sheep, so they could survive the winter.

    The puppy wolf loudly exclaimed, "NO, they are my friends, don't hurt
    Them".

    But the leader said, "You're one of us now, do as you're told!"

    They all began to run fast toward the farmer's property. The puppy
    wolf reluctantly followed. Soon they arrived and began to dig under the
    farmer's' fence. The farmer heard his sheep cry out so he grabbed his
    rifle and ran to shoot at the wolves. BANG! He killed one after
    another. And soon was face to face with a wolf backed up against the fence post
    Who cried out, "Wait, don't shoot me. I'm the puppy you raised. I'm
    your friend. Don't you remember me?"

    But the farmer looked at the wolf and saw how matted his coat was and
    how he smelled like the rest of the pack. He said to the wolf, "I don't
    know you."

    He raised his rifle and shot...BANG! !!

    The wolf was dead!

    The Brother giving the illustration said that there was silence in the
    auditorium, and then the brother giving the talk said, "Brothers, when
    Armageddon comes and Jesus is doing his destruction work, will he
    recognize you"?

    If Jebus is as loving as that farmer is, maybe we should devise a new Jebus to love.

    You've got to admit....it's a good one. It's the kind of story they eat up and apply simplistically to their life.

    Geez, he's the one that is supposed to have created all of us. If he doesn't recognize me, he's getting alzheimers. I think he's pretend, anyway.

    Lowering humans to animals is what the WTS does best. What an insult! It's so simplistic. Yuck!
