Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah! Piss! He's gone!

  Inspired by a recent post on Jehovah's Witnesses kooky urban legends, a question comes to mind.

  Jehovah's Witnesses can talk to a killer and he won't do anything with that angel guarding them. A demon can be cast out by calling out for Jehovah. In a yearbook, a man's talking snake is silenced by the mere presence of a Witness.

  So why are there pedophiles roaming free in Kingdom Halls?

  If an angel can intimidate a murderer (sadistic murderer was the phrase used) into not harming a couple of J Dub Door Knockers, where are these angels when a child rapist is about to harm a child in "the tuth?" Guess you have to be baptized to get an angel. Oh wait! Most ARE baptized by the time Brother Slippy Fist makes a move. Perhaps the pedophiles are braver than demons and the Big Bad Satan around angels. I wonder what they know about angels that we don't?

  Many pedophiles in the Society are baptized, yet the presence of Jehovah's people does nothing to silence Satan in them. If a lone J Dub can silence Satan in a snake, why can't a congregation of Witnesses, a convention of Witnesses, silence Satan in the heart of a child rapist?

  If shouting Jehovah's name can get a demon to flee, why has it not worked on the 23,000 demons calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses? You know that at least some of their victims cried out for Jehovah while being molested. So how come it works with teddy bears and YuGiOh cards, but not pedophiles?

  This is serious, people. A hole in logic like this might make people think these stories (like the snake whisperer told and published as fact by the WTS) are just blatant lies used to embellish the power and authority given to the Organization by Jehovah.

  And it terrifies me that it might go so far as to suggest Satan isn't talking to anyone, and that people are responsible for their own actions. Can you imagine the chaos of holding people and not invisible characters accountable for their deeds?!

  Yup, you're asking good questions, no doubt about it.

  If an angel can intimidate a murderer (sadistic murderer was the phrase used) into not harming a couple of J Dub Door Knockers, where are these angels when a child rapist is about to harm a child in "the tuth?"

  I guess suggesting that angels may be sympathic to pedophilia wouldn't help anything, would it? ;)

  A hole in logic like this might make people...

  Except for the fact that many people don't react to logic (like you and I do): they respond to emotions, feelings, etc.

  Bottom line is this: we cannot control the actions of others, except for arguably the small group of family and friends with whom you have any sway.

  You cannot save the World, only arguably those around you and yourself ("Saving the World" is a flawed assumption most JWs fall for and accept, thinking THEY are part of a grand solution to save the World. I carried it even after out of the "Truth", and it took YEARS to recognize and accept it).
