GB Member Rejects Nuremberg Morality

  I have been told that Samuel Herd gave a talk at the Annual Meeting that continues a specific rejection of the Nuremberg standard within the organization. By citing the example of Gideon, he taught that if we obey a foolish or wrong command in Jehovah's Organization, we are not blamed by Jehovah. This continues and intensifies the arrogant (and yes, Satanic) idea that 'we can't be wrong'

  Apparently, the idea about doing a Swan dive off the Temple Mount has no traction with them, as a temptation by the Devil. But more than that..

  ....we keep seeing how the Watchtower Society maintains lower ethical standards than the world. If the Society was subject to laws on fraud such as public stock issuing companies are, they would sued out of existence for 130 years of Armageddon Soon! fraud. Now, they preach against any notion of refusing an illegal or wrongful order.

  Does that make them more like Nazis? Or less? And how about Bernie Madoff? Did he defraud people for anything like 130 years?

  did Herd give any modern day examples, if we obey a foolish or wrong command in Jehovah's Organization, we are not blamed by Jehovah. ?? or was "obey" basically the point, right or wrong?

  Any other info given at the Annual Meeting?

  I still wouldn't drink the poisoned drink, if they told me to do it.

  very interesting indeed, because why would they even mention, that they possibly could say something wrong ? Before it was always "new light" when a chnage came, hardly they admitted mistake. Is this kind of a reaction to something going on ?

  Do they maybe realize, that rank and file are questioning more and more what they teach and preach through the countless pages of their literature ?

  Good thing the Watchtower was a supporter of civil rights(of course they were), otherwise "Sam Herd" would be their shoe shine boy.

  So conceited of them.

  "WE speak for god. God sees all things OUR WAY".

  Basically then, if they said go kill apostates, all the dubbies will feel like the inquisitors, absolved of any responsability for the horrors they wrought.

  Actually, this sort of dangerous policy needs to be made public too.

  "..........if we obey a foolish or wrong command in Jehovah's Organization, we are not blamed by Jehovah."

  'Appeal to authority.' 'the Preacher's ''we'''. What other propagandist speech is in this?!?!?

  The GB endanger your life. The GB protect paedos. The GB will gladly let you die for want of blood. The GB say shun your family who are 'mentally diseased'. Oh, well don't look at the GB take it up with God 'Jehovah(TM)'

  Whatever the GB says God 'Jehovah(TM)' will automatically approve no matter how wicked it is. They are after all his appointed mouthpiece and tell him what to do.

  Samuel Herd might just have well said: 'We ain't changing naff all for you. Go f*ck yourselves!'

  Hubris!

  That's a fool-ass notion considering that in the Bible, it speaks of the "lesser" punishment for those who follow the wicked slave. their portion will be less...but still a portion dealt out nontheless.

  This is why the ORG cannot exist for more than 5 more years (in my opinion). They are desperately trying to keep members. They will be exposed soon for what they really are, and most (it'll never be ALL) will finally WAKE UP.

  Times are so hard now (economically) that people are more concerned with shelter and food than wasting $20 in gas every week on going to meetings and F.S. alone. One night I went to a meeting and there were 14 members connected by phone. NO ONE CARES ANYMORE!!!!!! WTBTS is PLAYED OUT!
