  Are you still waiting for God's government to begin ruling? Are you still hoping that divine rulership is nearly here? Do you long for the time when Jehovah will 'set matters staright among the nations'?

  While many witnesses would say yes, what they don't realize that the beginnings of a global government are already here.

  The Society teaches that they are Jehovah's organisation, the FDS give us food at the proper time and we must be teachable, humble, and just do everything they ask of us without question.

  It was said by Barbara Anderson, that Jehovah's Witnesses are a government within governments.

  So lets just assign the Society as the government.

  If we have a problem, who do we report to? The government

  If we know someone is doing something wrong, who do we report to? The government

  There is already the beginnings of a 'police force' in this government.

  If you wish to progress within this governement, you must be willing to do all that the government say. They will closely monitor what you do.

  The government keeps files on its 'citizens', these include publisher record cards, disfellowshipping reports and judicial committee notes.

  The governement will punish those 'citizens' who do not conform to their ideology.

  The government will make rules without representation.

  The government will pressure its 'citizens' to pay for their upkeep.

  The government will tell you how much work you need to do for them to be a 'good citizen', the avergae monthly hours will do nicely.

  The government will encourage you to ignore relatives who do not support the government and it's institutions.

  The government will force you to break off contact with 'exiles'

  The government expects you to die for them.

  The government elects its representatives - the 'citizens' do not

  The government will not allow demonstrations or protests.

  The government is allowed to lie when it suits its cause.

  The government expects you to read all governement publications and journals.

  The government expects you to share their journals and publications with 'non citizens'.

  Is this the government you want to live under?

  It's a "government" that no one under it gets to vote for or have say in. No thanks.

  Very good observation, truthseeker,

  and may I add that they can only do to us what we let them do. To view them from a different perspective: They can only govern us if we "empower" them to do so.

  If we do not recognize them as having control over us or our lives; they are powerless..

  Excellent obesrvations truthseeker.

  One of the things that opened my eyes was simply imagining the unlikely prospect of the government handing over control to the Society. They would have to get involved in politics, military, etc, while they waited on Christ to appear......exactly like Christendom did when Constatine said, "Ok, boys....let's do this thing".

  It has been in place for a long time. No kidding they really beleive it, have it all figure out and truly operational to a great extend.

  Even jobs positions (elder etc) go hi up (legislature) for approval.

  one of the reasons I got out of that " government" was that it started too much to look like communist party - don`t miss meetings, agree with all political directives, do not ask questions, do what you are told and tell everybody how happy you are.

  if not, we`ll punish you.

  Exactly! THey have no power except the power you give them. It's like the pope. The pope tries to step in and make governments do what he wants but when you look at it correctly he has no authority what so ever. Neither does the WT. It's funny though how hard it is to stop giving them power over you.
