Three Comments & An Ass-Chewing

piztjw

So, normally if I go to a meeting I sit and don't say a word through the entire ordeal. However today I just could not keep my big mouth shut.

It was funny that I even got called on....THREE times none-the-less. Of course 99% of the sheeple just sat with blank looks on their mugs this morning. So the conductor was scraping the bottom of the barrel.

My three comments warranted a pretty caustic ass-chewing though after the meeting.

Here they are:

Par. 3 The fullfillment of Isa. 7: 14, 16 is often applied to Jesus. However the "slave" says it MUST have really applied to Isaiah's son because the kings of Syria and Israel were no longer a threat to Judah in the first century. It HAD to be in Isaiahs day because the Assyrians were still a world power.

Par. 11 Unlike the prophecy of Isaiah in par. 3 that the "slave" said depended on the Assyrians existing for fulfillment, the prophecy of Micah 5: 1, 2 could not have been fulfilled when the Assyrians existed. The "slave" says this prophecy MUST be fulfilled LONG after Jesus was born, and the Assyrians no longer were a world power. It could only be a modern day "Assyrian".

Par. 11 The four conclusions written in the WT can best be regarded against the question in par. 5, "...do I put my trust in GOD, or in men?"

I thought maybe someone was going to get some "holy" water and throw at me. But there were a few I noticed that seem to have a spark of light come into their eyes about the double-speak.

Did the congregation even get it? Or were just waiting for the next paragraph and hoping that the study did not go over time?

I really don't think anyone in my congregation had a clue what was going on.

I usually just zone out anyway during the WT study, but this one was a doozy.

Almost everyone seemed to be zoning out and the conductor was desperate for comments

(most of which were read straight from the WT anyway.)

I almost felt a collective sigh of relief when it was over.

Who writes this stuff? Are they on something?

Tears of Joy streaming down the Levites faces? ( Para 7)

Where did that come from?

Can't wait for next weeks WT

I believe over the years that the biblical and scriptural knowledge of JW in my native country went down. Under communism, we did not have much publication, we had to share one print of WT and we rely on Bible to get the right answers. Once the publications became widely used, the Bible was pretty much dropped from studies. This happened around 1990. I left 20 years ago to never return, but my family are in the organization. I had noticed over the years that their knowledge of Bible went down, and without some WT publications they do not know how to debate the "truth".

One of the issue with KH meetings is that is too many of them, there was WT, book, theocratic school, etc, which gives very little time for anyone to read and analyze what was just said. The questions are only related to the published texts, and do not allow deep debate over the doctrines. Peopel who would question anything too thoroughly will by labeled as apostate, or unbeliever and will be shuned.

Todays WT really was an eye opener but the R & F will not even notice what is REALLY being said because most are half asleep and counting down the minutes to when its over during the WT. But the subconsious subliminal messages do get through. Its brain washing 101!

I made an exception and chimed in, too. Nobody had pointed out that the Rabshaka was doing his thing AFTER Hezekiah had emptied out the treasury and the gold and silver stuff from the temple to try to buy peace. The silence of the people was because it was now evident that these Assyrians wanted a fight. There was nothing more to Be said.

Brother Zealous took the thought and ran with it, as he often does. He said that not arguing with the Rabshaka is the wise course that present-day witnesses take by not discussing things with apostates, who only want to argue.

or thinking...
