My husband just brought hone the latest JW only WT from the hall forgive me if someone has already posted this. I do not know how to download the WT's from the web sight nor do I wish to learn.
So anyway is was sickening to read "Brother Jaraze will long be remembered as a dedicated and loyal servant of Jehovah, wholeheartedly forcused on theocratic activities. He was a loving and caring husband as well as a spiritual man who put the interest of other ahead of his own. (1 Cor. 13:4,5) This sincere interest in others was shown by his deep concern that all be treated fairly and mercifully. Additionally, his tireless love and concern for people was reflected in his zeal for the field ministry."
It ends by saying that "We are confident that he has 'proved himself faithful even to death and has received the crown of life.' (Rev. 2:10) We are also certain that 'the things he did have gone right with him.' (Rev. 14:13).
Seriously it just makes me sick to read these words. When I think of all the pain of sexual abuse that so many in the "truth" have gone through and it would have taken nothing for "Brother Jaracz" to stop it and he did NOTHING it makes me sick to read these words.
Ted Jaracz was only for the company he was not for anyone but himself. How are they certain that the things he did have gone right with him? Just sick words.
Another point of interest is that after he went to Gilead he only served five years abroad? How did that work out. Most of us lowly ones have to give their lives to some god forsaken country he gets by with only giving five years. It said he was given an assignment to the Australia branch in 1951 and after returning to the US married Melita Lasko in 1956. Five years. When I was at Bethel I was told I should give my life if it meant good for the Kingdom work. Why not Ted then?
It is all so hurtful all the pain he caused or allowed to happen.
