This weeks clam part. Takes you to a wt on slowing down. First question is are you discouraged by the promises not coming. Their take is looking at the allure of the world. Mine is we seemingly are being lied to.
Last one is to have faith in appointed men. My take is holy spirit goofed.
They really don't give a flying frig about your faith in God.
What they really want is for you to have faith in them - the governing body.
Oh, and when I say "faith", I mean "total, unswerving, abject, unconditional loyalty and obedience to the governing body in all circumstances regardless of cost or sacrifice."
regardless of cost or sacrifice. FFG
or it is reasonable, or really suspect.
Discouraged by promises not coming? They are not coming--they were all lies, intended to get people to give up their lives and souls. They are led to expect a reward if they give up all their spiritual power to help the reptilians enslave the whole universe, and once they do this, they find out that they are not getting anything except enslaved.
This is part of why it's so hard for anyone to get out of christi-SCAM-ity. Promised reward, the expectation that it will be delayed, and threats if you look elsewhere prevent anyone from quitting despite that it is all a farce. (And jokehovianism, like any other part or full xian religion, promises salvation only if you continue working for them without slowing down, and that it is always just so close.) This will go on, both in jokehovianism and in both of its parent religions (judaism and xianity), until the whole world is firmly under Messianic tyranny. That we are getting mandatory coronavirus torture shots and that most of the money is now in the hands of the few, and that political correctness is out of control and rapidly getting worse, indicates that they do not have that much work left to do before this happens.
Looking back over my nearly six decades in the Org, and remembering frequent Watchtower Articles like this, and several talks, I realise that I used to find them slightly depressing.
This was because of Cognitive Dissonance, and me not wanting to actually face up to the thoughts that were coming in to my mind, such as " I wonder if this is all nonsense ?", sadly, like most JW's do, I considered these thoughts to be a lack of faith, and a bad thing, and shoved them deep in to the recesses of my mind.
I say sadly, for had I not done so, I would have woken up MUCH earlier ! I wonder if this recent stuff will start maybe one or two JW's on the road to Freedom ? Most of them will not be affected, any who are still in these days are deeply entrenched for a variety of reasons , and will do what I did, shove thoughts like "Really ?" to the back of their minds, again sadly, to be FREE is so wonderful !!
I can't believe in something that is an outright fraud. Watchtower has been making promises that they can not realistically cash, no one can! Some are waking up. Some are just nodding head in agreement without questions. "There is a sucker born every minute " and they are running out of sucker$.
