au contraire, spectromize, I have not lost faith that God will remember all those that have spilled righteous blood.
Matt 23 (NIV):
31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers!
33 "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?
34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.
35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
Jesus here condemned the religious leaders of Israel for their lead in oppressing and even causing the death of harmless people. Well, the WTS has set itself up as a religious leader, they have "flogged, pursued, and crucified" innocent people, they too will be scooped up in the judgement net of God and stand right alongside all the other snakes and hypocrites, like the evil slave they are.
Matt 24 (NIV)
48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, My master is staying away a long time,
49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards.
50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of.
51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
