    We've probably all had bad experiences with defective building or repair jobs, but our reactions would never have reached the limit to which the Borg has gone.

    In one of the WTS' study books, the R&F are told:

    "With just as much zeal as ever for the house of God's worship, the heavenly High Priest Jesus Christ will see to it that the closing words of Zechariah's prophecy are fulfilled: "And there will no more prove to be a Canaanite [or, tradesman] in the house of Jehovah of armies in that day"- Zechariah 14:21. The designation Canaanite was synonymous with "tradesman". Such persons, who seek to make selfish, commercial profit out of the most sacred thing on earth.....................And there will be none such..........." (Paradise Restored to Mankind (1972))

    Talk about getting your own back, eh? Someone in Writing Department must have had a bad experience with a plumbing repair, perhaps? That's the way to fix those "wicked" tradesmen...call them Canaanites and zap them at Armageddon!!!!!

    Another in a long list of bizarre teachings.

    I realise that the above topic is a joke, but just in case someone should believe it

    The book says (page 405 - 408 )

    "Such persons who would seek to make selfish commercial profit out of the most sacred thing on earth The worship of the one living and true God have no place ......

    So no greedy clergymen or electric church con artists in the New World .. If it ever were to come

    Of course we won't need any tradesman as we will all be happily cavorting, playing and patting the lions and the lambs.

    When I was a JW, construction trades were the most heavily-represented sector. I guess they all quit and started janitor businesses, eh?

    Were they talking about themselves? Maybe paradise will be a better place after all.
