    Hello everyone,
    I do hope you appreciate good things,
    and if you do…you should demonstrate it ..maybe like this….!

    w64 9/15 574 - Kneel down before reading the Watchtower
    In contrast to the attitude of these elective elders was that of an elderly couple with whom I stayed on the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia. The brother went down to get the mail before breakfast, and when we had breakfast he said, "Brother Riemer, I got a new Watchtower this morning, and do you know the first thing that Ma and I do when we get that Tower? We kneel down before we take the wrapper off and ask Jehovah to make us worthy to see what the message is that Jehovah has for us. Now, before we take the wrapper off, will you kneel down and pray with us?" How different that elective elder was from this humble couple who appreciated Jehovah's organization!

    Like you don't kneel down before reading one of Ray Franz books.

    G'day Mac,

    Pretty sick little scene you've painted for us here, isn't it?

    The Writing Department seem to let no opportunity go by without bagging the clergy. The ones I know all have a humble, reverent attitude to God's Word. Of course, in the article you quote, like is not being compared with like, for the object of thankfulness was to the Watchtower magazine and not the Holy Bible.

    But the borg wouldn't think that the Watchtower magazine was on a par with the Bible, would they?

    Cheers,

    Ozzie

    Hi Mac,

    You think that is unusual? Here in Weston super Mare the congregation were exhorted to thank Jehovah before having sex!

    That reminds me of one elder who was a marriage celebrant and in his wedding talk he would tell the bride and groom that they should kneel beside their bed that night to thank Jehovah for the sex they were about to receive! I kid you not... his name is Bob Fowler.. any other aussies heard his wedding talks?

    Cheers,

    Ozzie

    I'd heard that account before. There are many sincere and humble people who were and are still drawn to the Witnesses for what they perceive to be 'THE TRUTH' My heart goes out to them all.
