In the Sept. 15, '03 Watchtower, an experience is offered concerning a man named
Rolf-Michael, who apparently traded drug addition for cultish addiction.
(perhaps some of you recall a Cheech and Chong sketch in which an odd man
announces that he "used to be messed up on drugs and he used to be messed up
on alcohol, but now I'm messed up on Jesus!")
Be that as it may, the egregious falsehood is in this quote:
"Regrettably, in some countries the Witnesses are falsely accused of being a
dangerous sect that breaks up families. Rolf-Michael's experience proves
otherwise."
Falsely accused???? In those now-distant days before the Watchtower came
to be ruled by present day cowards, they eagerly quoted scriptures that
seemed to justify their family wrecking practises ( like Matt. 10: 34 - 37).
No more! Now these craven hypocrites have discovered the ease that
results from simply LYING about the darker demands they impose on Witnesses
(or should I say "the Witnesses", as they do, as if somehow they are somehow
detached from commanding the "faithful".).
If you doubt their lying intent, consider WHY they are offering this experience.
Can there be any doubt that they "are under the gun", from angry relatives
and ex-Witnesses who petition governments to disallow tax exemptions and
other favors? They are well aware of their own efforts to break family ties
when it interferes with Watchtower control - and the bitter reactions they
face because of it. Their REACTION herein proves this statement is DESIGNED
as a LIE - to deceptively overcome justified opposition to their family wrecking.
Furthermore, take careful note of what the Watchtower Society preaches
in PRIVATE , in publications that are NOT available to the public - such as
the August 2002 Kingdom Ministry in the article "Display Christian Loyalty-
When a Relative is Disfellowshipped". This destructive article, kept out of public
view, offers such loving gems as "it might be possible to have almost no contact
at all with the relative" and that any association should be kept to "an absolute
minimum."
Of course, this doesn't even cover the lack of family togetherness engendered
by the Witness view that God is going to soon kill their non-Witness relatives.
After all, "the masses of people facing annilhilation ... include our unbelieving
relatives, neighbors, workmates, schoolmates and acquaintances." (Sept 2000
Kingdom Ministry pg. 1) - just another example of Watchtower deception
with their true feelings hidden in a publication that the public doesn't see.
Consider also, the utter absence of logic in offering any single example
of a Witness with an improved family - it says NOTHING about the overall,
general damage they do to countless families. Would any Witness
"Judicial Committee" mercifully accept a statement from an alcoholic
"I'm not a drunkard, I was sober last Tuesday morning!". Do single
examples disprove the destructive anti-family trend in Watchtower -land?
Add to this discussion the rejection of 'worldly' holidays - as possibly the
only opportunity to associate with 'worldly' relatives.
And finally, add on the CONTINUING FRAUD of encouraging Witness parents
to strictly raise their children as Witnesses ALL WHILE THE SOCIETY KNOWS
FROM THEIR OWN INTERNAL STATISTICS that it is nearly hopeless since
the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of such kids are df'd - or leave the "truth".
This kind of fraud would get a drug company sued out of existence - but not
the Watchtower, whose cowardly leaders hide behind their lawyers, ever eager
to design more falsehoods to ensnare their tired followers.
