Sometimes an Ox gets sick and dies.
When your Ox dies you don't just lose an Ox.
Nope.
You lose all the money you spent on that Ox.
You lose all the feed you ever fed it.
You lose the time spent taking care of it.
This includes any veteranarian bills as well.
You can't eat the meat from a dead sick Ox either, so, you lose the meal or the sale of the meat as well!
What about using that chain of reasoning on THE TRUTH (or so-called) of Jehovah's Witnesses.
What happens with a teaching that gets sick and dies (is proved wrong and is changed)?
The very instant a teaching is changed it becomes FALSE teaching automatically. (Delicately referred to as "Old Light")
What about all the money spent on publishing that False teaching? It is wasted.
What about all the time spent mailing it out and inculcating in into 7 million JW's worldwide? It is wasted.
What about the sheep-like people whose doors are knocked who buy the magazines and books with the false teaching? They are misled.
What about the risk of family, health and social standing from teaching a false teaching? Lives WASTED!
(Note: If the JW complains that Old Light isn't "False" asked them to explain the difference!)
The Ox and THE TRUTH have something in common when they sicken and die.
They prove to be more than an "adjustment"!
Everyone who eats tainted meat suffers from it.
Everyone who partakes of the "meat in due season" which proves tainted suffers from it, too.
HERE IS THE TEST:
Would the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society send 7 million Jehovah's Witnesses back out today with the SAME teachings or not?
If not---ask them WHY?
Isn't it because those teachings are now FALSE by today's standards?
If it is false today---was it LESS FALSE back then?
The answer is this: None of it was true. All of that activity is wasted.
Who is responsible for this?
The Governing Body (whose very definition itself has changed over the years!)
The Watchtower was established when---1879? Today is 2013.
The OX that died has been stinking up the place for a long, long time!!
