Hello,
Robert has freedom of expression on this Board. I suspect it is his only venue, apart from his long-suffering dog, for a more public exploration of his views.
In this he is entitled to his own views regarding the fulfillment of OT prophecies. They certainly seem to have more validity than the interpretations of the WTS, which have I am sure been chosen by a member of the GB throwing a dart over his shoulders onto a board with a few options pasted on it, the dart that hits home is ‘new light’.
However, that he is able to express himself so eloquently in argument, and often so stingingly in insult to his opponents, and that he is able to step outside of WTS dogma requires a level of intellectuality that would not have been afforded most JW’s growing up in their faith, stripped as many of them were from the opportunity of a further education.
Thank God Robert that you were not raised as a JW, rather than being today's prophet, you might just have been a yesterday’s puppet.
Best regards -- HS
