Hi, had some strange things happen this week that have made me ponder what on earth is going on with the man made organisation.
1/ While picking up some train tickets I was approached by a young man with an Ipad of sorts who engaged me in a chap and then asked to show me a New website I asked what he was trying to sell or promote he assured me that he was selling nothing the website he showed me was JW.Org so I quickly said so you are promoting an organisation with a brand name similar to how a Christian would promote Jesus and the Bible he looked confused but then said yes, so I said that I thought that to be quite shamefull, He froze for a bit and didnt comment so I asked is this new symbol a trade mark of some marketting firm to which he said "no We are Jehovahs Witnesses" no one else was around so not sure of the "we" but anyway I said if God has given us the Bible whats with a website that produces snippets out the bible with an Opinion on the meaning he avoided the question and asked me what I believed in so I said my religions leeders dont let me discuss belief with anybody so I obey,listen to them and dont question he said "you have been blessed by J with a brain and freedom of thought to look and question" i said ok but I think its strange that you use a name for God thats perhaps made up by man, blindly follow and dont question a group of self appointed men as well as showing signs of Idoatory to an Organisation that has pushed Jesus to one side, at this he suddenly he had to dash off. 2/ when out shopping I was apprehended by a group of people with a stand giving free literature and promoting the JW.Org website so I had had to ask whats with this name change after all these years and are you a similar religion to the Catholic church which led to a chat about how the Catholic religion is false and how they wickedly have covered up sex abuse! I didnt bite on this one but asked if birth control was banned in the JW.Org religion a lady stepped forward and explained that it was cruel and not biblical to ban contreception I said I had been shown a bit in the bible that gives rise to this ban and she said they(catholic church) dont understand the Bible and use it to control and miss inform people so i replied similar to how your organisation bans blood and birthdays by misinterpreting the Bible I went on to say that I believe the Organisation to be Hypocritical,false , cult like and shamefull how it covers up sex abuse I also got in that the Organisation had totally corrupted its self with its UN membership and also with the sheer amount of false prophecy over its relatively short history at which the senior man at the table politely told me if I wasnt interested in the literature to be on my way and that hopefully I would mature enough to let Jehovah into my heart before it was to late and that he felt sorry for me and the people I obviously associated with. Longish stories I know but it would appear that the religion is moving in a strange path to worship the new abbreviated name,the Organisation and the self appointed men who pretend to be Gods only channel even though understanding the meaning of the bible is at the end of the day just an Opinion and thats why they make so many mistakes and history has the habit of proving things they say not true. in the future perhaps prayers will be "in the name of the Governing body. Amen"
