Is Bill Bowen "cleansing the temple?"

I borrowed another tape recording from my mothers church.
In this sermon the pastor described how the Jews were obsessed with their temple. So much so that they really started worshipping the temple itself. One obsession was how clean the temple had to stay. Only certain ones were allowed inside, the lesser ones were kept further and further away, with the sick and dirty ones kept out of the temple altoghter.
This brought to mind the requirements of the WTBTS of keeping the congragaion clean. It also made me think about how so many witnesses really are making the soceity their God.
When the Bible tells of Jesus "cleansing the temple," he was in reality "trashing the temple." Because at the time, that is what was needed.

So now we get to my real point. Is Bill Bowen really cleansing the temple? Is Bill just following the example of Jesus? Isn't that what true Christians are supposed to do?

When a supporter of Harry Truman's yelled at him to "Give 'em hell Harry," he said in reply, "I don't give 'em hell, I just tell the truth and they think its hell!"

Well, "Give 'em Hell Bill!!!"

hi blind fool,

i don't believe the jw organization ever was god's temple........so that's why i think anyone who trys to clean it out won't have much success.....i personally would love to shut down the whole religion,,,,,,but i don't believe god would help me, it would just be my own doing.

happy man

I wonder how this 'cleansing the temple' bit could be sold to the rank & file JWs. I think it holds potential for rallying the 'friends'.

Think about it...

They don't have to directly question the WTS's position and authority, but they can acknowledge the poor procedures and leadership as events unfold.

Classic double think, double speak.

No, he is merely pointing out that the Septic Tank is full and needs to be pumped.
