    Absolutely disgusting. " We will not mourn. " Very typical of how ALL mind control cults like Jehovah's Witnesses program their members to hate anybody who decides to stop attending their functions. Including my JW daughters who have shunned me for 9 years now. I hate this JW cult with all of my being. As someone said in a song once, " if I had a rocket launcher- some son of a bitch would die. " WT Society leaders should be locked up with the key thrown away due to crimes against humanity and the splitting up of families. There needs to be an accountability on their part . Peace out, mr. Flipper

    I wonder if he put his pinky finger up to the corner of his mouth and pursed is lips after he said it.

    If I had heard this even when "in" I would have thought him to be a Tool....I hate anyone with no compassion. This kind of S$%T needs to be advertised, advertised, advertised!

    Armageddon survivors will not mourn the destruction of those Jehovah judges worthy of it: “And the slain of Jehovah shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.”—Jer. 25:33, AS.

    *** w53 12/15 p. 763 Questions From Readers ***

    Jeremiah 25:33 (AS) reads: “And the slain of Jehovah shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.” Those slain by Jehovah will not be gathered up by the survivors of Armageddon and given a formal burial or funeral accompanied by mourning and lamentation. There will be no memorial stones to mark where their remains lie and to symbolize a hope of resurrection for them. Their former existence is not held in the memory of Jehovah so that he will raise them from the dead, nor are these ungodly slain ones remembered with any respectful mourning by Jehovah’s servants that survive the battle of Armageddon. Their bones will be picked clean by the wild birds and beasts so long ill-treated by godless men.—Ezek. 39:4, 17-20; Rev. 19:17-21.

    **** w52 11/1 p. 667 Jehovah Makes Peace, Creates Evil ***

    When ‘the slain of Jehovah at Armageddon extend from one end of the earth to the other, being neither mourned, gathered up nor buried, but lying as dung upon the face of the ground’, that will surely be the greatest evil, disaster, calamity that will ever have befallen mankind; but it will not be a wrong. It will be a righteous execution of judgment.—Jer. 25:33; Rev. 18:4-8, 20.

    ** w67 7/1 pp. 407-408 Can Any War Be Wholly Just? ***

    The ones slaughtered at Armageddon are shown as being left as food for the carrion-eating birds of the heavens. They will not be buried with military honors nor have graves with markers to memorialize them for mourners and idolizers. Those destroyed in this war will not be mourned, for the reason that they have shown themselves undeserving of mercy. By their removal the earth is cleansed.—Jer. 25:31-33; Num. 35:33.

    *** w02 8/15 pp. 18-19 par. 13 “Follow Me Continually” ***

    Jesus showed love for the people he taught. How may we imitate him in this regard? Never should we develop a callous attitude toward the people around us. Granted, “the war of the great day of God the Almighty” is looming ever nearer, and many among mankind’s billions will be destroyed. (Revelation 16:14; Jeremiah 25:33) Yet, we do not know who will live and who will die. That judgment lies in the future and belongs to the one Jehovah has appointed, Jesus Christ. Until the judgment is passed, we view each individual as having the potential to become a servant of Jehovah.—Matthew 19:24-26; 25:31-33; Acts 17:31.

    The key scripture here is Jeremiah 25:33 which the WTS snips many times in its publications leaving out the "bewailed" part. The underlined part is what they use and how many jws actually look it up not realizing it is only part of the verse?

    (Jeremiah 25:33) 33 And those slain by Jehovah will certainly come to be in that day from one end of the earth clear to the other end of the earth. They will not be bewailed, neither will they be gathered up or be buried. As manure on the surface of the ground they will become.’

    Good points Blondie!

    The part that really bothered me was the judgment being passed on others. The context of the talk made it very plain the only those in the Organization/ARK will be saved, which totally contradicts the WTBTS's public message. So I guess only active JW's are deserving of mercy out of Billions of humans.

    The comment about family members " around " the truth was disturbing as well. Had the CO said, " We can't judge. We just do our best and trust Christ to do the judging.", well, that's different. Of course that does not sound scary enough to make people get up on Saturday mornings.
