by still wondering 4 Replies latest watchtower beliefs
Seriously, does anyone know the current WT determined destiny and WT reference to disfellowshiped individuals?
Are they still viewed as deserving of the 2 nd death either on their own natural death or on being murdered and used as bird food any day now.
Bird Food
"Only Jehovah's Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil." Watchtower 1989 Sep 1 p.19
"Similarly, Jehovah is using only one organization today to accomplish his will. To receive everlasting life in the earthly Paradise we must identify that organization and serve God as part of it." Watchtower 1983 Feb 15 p.12
"Is it presumptuous of Jehovah's Witnesses to point out that they alone have God's backing? Actually, no more so than when the Israelites in Egypt claimed to have God's backing in spite of the Egyptians' belief, or when the first-century Christians claimed to have God's backing to the exclusion of Jewish religionists." Watchtower 2001 Jun 1 p.16
"During the final period of the ancient world that perished in the Flood, Noah was a faithful preacher of righteousness. (2 Peter 2:5) In these last days of the present system of things, Jehovahs people are making known Gods righteous standards and are declaring good news about the possibility of surviving into the new world. (2 Peter 3:9-13) Just as Noah and his God-fearing family were preserved in the ark, survival of individuals today depends on their faith and their loyal association with the earthly part of Jehovahs universal organization." Watchtower2006 May 15 p.22 "Are You Prepared for Survival?"
I have seen terminally ill disfellowhiped get fast tracked to reinstatment just so they could have the hope of being resurected.
That should tell you something.
An individual is to suffer the most severe penalty. He is condemned to DEATH. He is now on death row just waiting to be executed.
Why? For no other reason than holding a different view to that 'currently' held by the WT. Actually for pointing out that the current view, which is declared as the TRUTH, is radically different from the previous view which was also declared as the TRUTH.
Three uneducated, unqualified 'elders', one of whom is not long out of nappies, another barely literate, take about 30 minutes to decide that nothing less than the death penalty is deserved for such outrageous offence.
Such a policy of zero tolerance can be enforced only by mindless thugs of zero rationality.
The quality of love, much written about in their WT and natural to most humans, is totally absent from their edicts.
Stealth that's just so they can give the funeral talk and count there time at the end of the month.
Just another chance to preach.
