It stands to reason that a reactionary organization MUST react.
So, the Watchtower MUST do something to confront the rising tide of exposure
and opposition that grows daily.
They react by lying, claiming persecution, shunning whistleblowers, downsizing,
breaking up families, and sending their out their lawyers to defend their corruption.
All very predictable. Not hard to foresee, once you understand the cruelty and
depth of deception they've wallowed in for decades. On rare occasions like this,
the curtain gets pulled back and you get to see them for what they really are -
Ignorant, self deceived, and greedy petty tyrants who live for the cause of
ruling every aspect of other people's lives.
The trouble with all this recent reaction is: What can you do for an encore?
You threaten Armageddon. You guilt tired publishers into dragging themselves into
selling your magazines. You threaten shunning. You threaten, you threaten, you threaten...
Once you've said it and repeated it over and over - and what's left?
You escalate the rhetoric (like yelling at your kids) and then what?
Maybe they shun all who have 'drifted away' - then what?
Once, before 1975, I asked a Bethel elder, "Why doesn't the Society emphasize how near
the End is? I mean with REAL INTENSITY?" He replied that the friends would grow tired
and burn out , if too much emphasis was placed on it.
Exactly!
Their only hope is that this all blows over - or that the world blows up
and that everyone lets them alone -
so they can get back to the 'good old days', when every lie they told was
clutched to the bosom of eager (and ignorant) Witnesses.
Don't ever let that happen
Keep chipping away
Keep the fire going that's lit under their wrinkled backsides
because if you do,
one day, there won't be any encore
they won't have anything new to threaten that hasn't already been discounted
there won't be any crazier rhetoric they can come up with
it will all have been tried - to no avail.
When that happens, they'll look pathetic, even to themselves.
What we have here , in the form of the internet, is pure Kryptonite
and the Theocratic Supermen can't stop it
and everytime Brother Jaracz
says "no weapon formed against you will have success"
He's really just saying that TO TRY TO CONVINCE HIMSELF THAT IT'S TRUE!
Pray for world peace
and the downfall of those who hate it
