Bleepy, now you've said what you wanted to say, AREYOU HAPPY NOW?
I'm not trying to please the Governing Body at all. I am trying to please Jehovah
I felt the same way when I got baptized and when I was a JW for over 12 years. But I realized that it couldn't be.
The Governing Body tells you what to do and how to think according to their interpretation of the Bible. They say it pleases Jehovah. Will it?
When people get devastated by their mistakes, they just say that they are imperfect human being, that the people should still follow them, and that they shouldn't feel devastated because "it pleases Jehovah."
When the Silent lambs came out to public, they say that they are liars and apostates, and that we shouldn't talk about it to anyone else. A Dist. Overseer said, "If your conscience bothers you, then there is something wrong with your conscience." Do you think this is going to please Jehovah?
In the first century, as you may know, the Pharasees had tremendous power over people. They were priests, annointed. No doubt there were so many who followed the Pharasees because of that - because they wanted to please Jehovah, not the Pharasees.
Bleepy, you haven't answered my question from other thread. My question was :"Can you look into the eyes of one of the silentlambs ( the victims of molestation ), and say, "You are a liar and an apostate"?
Well, Bleep dear, what do you say?
