"Keep your eyes on the prize"
^ This WT slogan is quite telling don't you think?
It illustrates what the Watchtower's members motivation really is.

Yeah, there's a difference between a gift and a prize.

I'm going to do a song, based on that old song. It's parody time, as always.

Do you know what I always thought that. I thought people should live a Christian life because they want to not because they are going to get a prize for it!
Surely if you are only acting in a certain way to get a prize it loses all meaning?

It's interesting to hear a Witness defend this statement. They, of course, do not look at it as a focus on the reward, merely a keen awareness.
"We don't serve Jehovah for what we get out of it."
^ This is pretty much their whole argument (but they use a few more words).

That is what I find ironic about the religious zealots that say we get our morality from the bible/god.
Morality is like charity. True charity is done without hope for reward, recognition, or status...and done only for the good of others. I think your actions cease to be moral IF you are doing it for hope of reward and out of fear of punishment. Religions are built on this "anti-moral" creed.
