Let me just start off by saying that my mother asked me to read the new brochure. She said, "I expect you will be critical of it."
I said, "Mercilessly so. After all, they were merciless to me." (That was a reference to my humiliating JC some time before. I have written all about it on here before.)
So, let's get to it. In the spirit of Blondie, I'm going to rip this new brochure apart.
The COVER is that of an old man, reading the paper, sitting next to a globe. He looks frightened. I wonder if he is frightened by the newspaper, or the fact that he has wasted his life serving the WT and now he is old and Armageddon still hasn't come.
The INSIDE COVER has an hourglass with the sand almost run out. Yawn. More of the same "Time is running out" BS that they've been spouting for 120 years now.
Page one is entitled, "Where is this world heading?" and then includes a large number of sentence fragments. What happened to the Society's traditional run-ons? These aren't even "See Dick mug Jane" quality. Did they write this thing for foreigners? Or did foreigners write it?
EXTREME HYPOCRISY ALERT: They argue against other churches because of sexual abuse!
EXTREME HYPOCRISY ALERT: They critique the clergy for backing factions in war - what about their own whoring with the UN? What is the UN if not a faction?
Old Fashioned Nugget Of Joy: they actually mention the Spanish Influenze on page 4. Remember that little nugget? How it was proof of God's Kingdom arriving in 1914?
then they have the audacity to say that there is a global pattern that has real significance. But they provide no proof that these are related. It's hard to believe that they still actually are hnolding on to the 1914 dogma. It is not a part of my faith anymore, so much so that I forget what the dubs still believe...
The "Does God Really Care?" is more of the same empty promises / Satan's fault argument that we are all so tired of hearing.
Bah. I don't need to keep going through it. It makes me so tired to look at this BS..
