i posted this in another thread...
i wanted to give it its due concideration....
i wish to share a small tid-bit of something that came to "light" last week. it shows how underhanded and sneeky the little trolls are, and they even know they are.
an issue came up recently in a watchtower over a certain number of years that was mentioned in a w.t. the actual years in the bible was different. 215 vs 430 in the 6-1 wt. now this was discussed here, in another thread, and as i found out on my own what the real explaination was, and it was cleared up here also. but i decided to toss this descrepancy at my wife to see what she thought.
she couldn't answer it. she accussed me of finding this "mistake" on apostate web sites. she said i'm looking for any reason to be negative. actually, i am, but all one has to do is kick up the corner of the carpet and the dirty underside of the watchtower cult is totally exposed. actually, the scripture quoted in the wt, was 2 verses away from the aformentioned years, and if one reads before and after, it was easy to see.
well....
next meeting i went to i asked one of the elders about it. he was dumbfounded...but looked into it.
but what he said next really struck home.
be carefull who you ask questions like that of. they could take it the wrong way.
now i didnt get all huffy asking about this, it was just a point i needed to clear up. it wasn't even an issue. if anything very minor.
but it struck home. i now know i can never ask anything that is out of the "norm".
i cannot trust them, that they will take it to a level that it need not be.
to question = apostacy
isn't it a shame?
