Objection (My Mother actually used this): "Well, if it's true, that's the biggest BOO BOO I've ever heard of.
Response: (Exasperated sigh upon realizing how ready Mom is "ignore the rafter in her own eye, while busily ridiculing the splinter in other's eyes)
OK, now for real...
Response:That violates the scriptural principle of "a house divided can not stand". The UN has been identifed as an agent of Satan, not an agent of Jehovah.
Response: A brother is seen leaving a legal (in Nevada) brothel, i.e. a house of prostitution. There is a sign on the building "LEGAL BROTHEL. HAVE SEX HERE. GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS". Brothers have been warned for years to stay away from that house of ill-repute. But then... an elder is seen leaving the place, and eye witnesses indicate he was in there for quite some time (say, nine years, whoops, I mean nine hours). Would anyone believe him if he said:
(a) I was tricked to go in there, I thought it was just a bar! Damn those tricksters!
(b) It
became a brothel while I was inside. When I entered, it was just a bar. When I went in there, 9 hours ago, there was nothing wrong with going in there.
(c)
Of COURSE its a brothel. I went in there to witness to the ladies and gentlemen inside. It is the only way to reach them with the Kingdom message. I call is spiritual warfare. Sometimes I have to have sex with the women, but that is still OK, because it is spirtitual warfare! Oh, and I wanted to keep it secret and not tell anyone because...... um..... they might be confused by my spiritual warfare.... yeah, that's the ticket!
Response: see previous point. Add: if that were the case, then why stop the NGO association when it becomes public knowledge? The war is still going on, and whatever could be gained by having NGO association could continue right up until the UN decides to dissassociate the Watchtower. If it was such a good, clever, strategy, why did the Watchtower terminate it earlier than necessary? Sorry, that one doesn't pass the smell test.
Response: In other words, I conspiracy of just a few rogue individuals working within a large organization. Possible (although unlikely). Easy to determine: contact the UN yourself. Tell them that one of their web dudes has posted some libellous
information. See how fast they remove it (if indeed they DO remove it). Then phone Watchtower Legal Dept. and tell them that the
UN has published (or allowed some rogue employees to publish) libellous information on their website defaming the Society. No, seriously, do this if you really think its the work of some small group of ne'er-do-wells.
Response: Yes, I suspect they thought they had a good reason, and on behalf of thousands of concerned people, I'd like to hear what it is. So far the Society hasn't provided and
GOOD reasons, only lame ones. Please, help me to find out what their GOOD reason was. Clearly, the library excuse is neither good nor a reason.
Response: This violates the biblical principal to "flee from her, if you do not want to partake in her sins". It is also a non-sequitor when compared with decades of Watchtower information, which commands people to NOT simply sit idly by as part of an organization which has sided with Satan and against Jehovah. Furthermore, this action clearly identifies Watchtower as
NOT truly god's wife-like organization.
Response: Please elaborate on this. How can an alliance with the wild beast of revelation, the same one that has that whore false relgion riding its back and cooing sweet names, how can this alliance be good? It would be like saying an alliance with the Nazi's would be good, even if it meant you agreed that you stood for the same principles of the Nazi party (including Third Reich's Final Solution, etc.). How could this ever be a good thing? How could it NOT be a violation of NEUTRALITY?
Response: This doesn't make sense at so many levels. It's not Watchtower's place to "bring Armageddon closer". Jehovah has his own time. It will not change becuase of the actions of any man, men, or organization. 2nd, why would they want to bring it closer? There are still a lot of people that haven't received "the message", and if you brought the end before they heard, that wouldn't be fair. (BTW, I include in that list of "people who don't know JWs message" pretty much everyone, even those who have had JWs knock on their doors for years; my informal poll of my friends indicates that they have NO IDEA what JWs message is, despite seeing them at their doorstop several times per year, and even taking magazine -- the "Ministry" is just that ineffective. But I digress). Ignoring my first two points, please explain how,
HOW, would this happen? What could the Watchtower do, as an NGO, to the UN, or have the UN do to the Watchtower as an NGO, that would possible change the timing of Revelation? (Wait for response; if there is one, it will be pretty far-fetched and non-sensicial. Then ask, "Do you really think that Jehovah directed this organization to do that, and if he did, why then did Watchtower quit the UN -- after word got out?
