A brother asked me last week about the UN situation. He said he had seen an email and he asked if the Society had been a member of the U.N. Before I used to hint that it was wrong, but it never got me anywhere, whoever I said that to would clam up or get angry with me.
So now I pretend to support the Society. When that brother asked me I replied, "Well, it doesnt matter though. I support the Society. I mean I heard that they had joined the UN to gain access to their libraries. But to me it doesnt matter what the Society does, I support them no matter what they do. If they join the UN, its fine by me. " So he said, "But isnt that maybe wrong somehow?" I answered, "No, we have to be loyal no matter what the Society does. Its like the 1914 generation change. The teaching changed and now there is no more last generation, but who cares? We are not serving for a date and when the Society changes their viewpoint, we change too. No matter what the Society tells us, I would believe it."
He said, "I wouldnt." I said, "Yes you would, we have to. That is what loyalty to the Organization is. No matter what they change we accept it."
Then another day he asked, "Well anyway, so what about having a spiky haircut on the TMS when you have a talk?" I replied, "Its all up to the TMS overseer. He is the authority. He decides what you can wear and look like." He said, "No, but the elders have to be balanced." I said, "It doesnt matter if they are balanced, some are and some arent, but we have to obey them no matter what. Jehovah appointed them so we have to be obedient to every single thing they say to us."
Wow, he is really starting to realize stuff. And all I do is pretend to support the Society while showing how wrong things are handled.
So the point is that a few months ago, I tried to get my friends to ask questions. Now I pretend to be a hardcore supporter of the "Slave" but I am still raising the same issues.
