    Can't you just feel the love of the Org.

    *** Watchtower 50 1/15 p. 26 par. 22 Who Will Share in the Final Witness? ***

    Jehovah’s visible organization can use you, but can get along without you too. But you cannot get along without it. Fruitless ones are eventually pruned off and never missed as new ones are grafted in. Pruned-off branches soon wither and die, being cut off from the circulating, life-giving sap. Likewise, if a hand or foot is cut from the human body the severed member perishes, or if it is kept inactive in a cramped position it goes to sleep, gets numb, loses its ability to move.

    The blood in which is the life fails to circulate to those parts, fails to bring in new food supplies and carry off waste matter. So it is with Jehovah’s visible organization. All must associate together, get the life-giving spiritual food that God circulates to his people through the organization, get the new truths that take away old ideas and the admonition that keeps down queer personal ideas, all of which keeps us fresh and strong and active, seeing eye to eye and fighting shoulder to shoulder. Don’t become a withered branch or a paralyzed foot. Don’t amputate yourself from the organization and commit spiritual suicide

    Please GOD, Jehovah, YHWY, if you are out there, please put a stop to this WT non-sense already...!!!!!

    How they play with people's hearts and minds and drive them to needless guilt and depression is so cruel.

    I just want to cry already. And wish them to be struck by lightning!

    :(((((( I just feel horrible. I look forward to the time that I just get numb and give them the finger.

    Back to the topic, I can imagine the writer growing horns as he/she works on the article.

    Ohnightdivine,

    Don't be too sad. What Blondi said is spot on. Jesus said to "do as they say, not as they do", when speaking of the Pharisees. Our C.O said some very hateful words on his last visit. He soke of "unbelieving" family who are around the truth, but not in it. He said, " Many of us have family who are around the truth. We defend them and say, that the love Jehovah. If they love Jehovah, where are they?" He also spoke at length about how no one will morn the deaths of non-jws. The WTBTS is truly misled. So we just have to do our best to not be like hypocritical religious leaders.

    Knorr was more direct to those of us at Bethel in early '70s:

    "I brought you in and I can take you out!"

    Basically back then, we knew there that Knorr 'was' the GB, but he let Freddie have some things to say here and there.
