Actually, most everything in the Sept. 15, 2011 rag is offensive. But particularily the points that will cause extreme hardship in the lives of witlesses. The first part of today's article "Are You Letting Jehovah Be Your Share" (page 11), finds the "annointed" (a.k.a. gurvernin' buddy) boasting in themselves. Bad, but we have come to expect that from these arrogant, self-centered, egotistical, nacisistic, meglomaniacs .
What's offensive is what's found for example, in par. 4, where, after the GB has self-boasted, they hammer dubs who are sickly and can't perform to their required standard. "Yet, they (GB) do not use any limitations as an excuse to do only a small amount in God's service". Yes, wheelchair bound quads, pack a full days box of oxygen bottles on the back of your chair, put on a diaper and go pound the pavement. Git' on naw, ya hear!
But that's still not the worst. Paragraph 6, under the header "Seeking First the Kindom" says, ..."With no regard for their Creator, many devote themselves to making a comfortable living, raising a family, and leaving behind an inheritance." That's offensive, considering recently Watchtower tried to sue Fifth Third Bank because they were pissed at the bank, why? Because the damned Watchtower was trying to get at the 'inheritance' left behind by a Dub, and they were unsucessful. The family got the $100g's in the account! Evil family!
The above is also extremly offensive because Dubs are being pushed to quit their jobs and go on to experience hardship, 'trusting in God'. "Well, Jean-Claude realized that if he lost his job, God would look after him....Jehovah would help care for his family's material needs."
On top of that, paragraph 11 says "...working for a nonnuetral organization and was determined to put first God's righteousness." So, what... when the damned GB joined the evil United Nations, where was 'God's righteousness' then? (insert expletive)
The worst though is paragraph 15... "When spiritual light on some matter gets brighter, do you try to understand the underlying Scriptural reasons for the adjustment?"
Read the June 15, 2000 Questions from readers "Do Jehovah’sWitnessesacceptanymedicalproductsderivedfrom

You can look for one scriture, not two, not three, just one, that is used to support the change in doctrine allowing blood fractions, and you won't find it! In the rhetoric before the change, yes. In some blather after, yes. But in the contect of the change itself, it' all medical jargon, and 'new medical techniques'. So how the hell is one to "understand the underlying Scriptural reasons" when none, NONE are given?????
Dubs, all you need to know. (1) Quit your job. (2) Suffer. (3) Give your wealth to Watchtower. (4) Suffer some more. (5) Preach till you bleed. (6) DIE!
And your Gods in New York will be simply euphoric!
