There were several families that were visiting my mom today and I was sitting in and just listening to all of them talk.
They started talking about the recent shooting at the University. And it’s so easy for them because all they have to say is;
"It’s a good thing that Jehovah is going to put an end to that."
They started talking about some kid that was born paraplegic and again it was so easy to just say, "Jehovah will give him a perfect body very soon."
They started talking about some brother who lost his job and the family was having a hard time and again they said; “very soon Jehovah will take care of that.”
Then they started talking about how nice it’s going to be when they have perfect bodies and not have to wear make-up.
And a few started talking about how they can’t wait to see their parents.
Then it dawn on me that it’s not the Governing Body they worship, but it’s the strong desire to see the suffering end, to see their dead love ones, to see justice for all those that have been killed unjustly, and to have their old bodies restored to youth.
The members of the Governing Body will die and be replaced just like the previous ones. But it's the promise of a New World and the belief that you can only get it through this Organization that keeps them in.
That’s why if they ever caught all the GB in some scandal and removed them all, it wouldn’t matter. They feel that the promise of life will flow only through the ORGANIZATION. They can replace the GB just like they can replace Ray Franz.
Listening to them reminded me why I stayed in so long. That carrot is very alluring. An end to wickedness, human suffering, sickness, crime, injustice, and even death. You just can’t pull the carrot away from them unless they are ready.
