More blessings from the Gilead instructors...
" It was brought out that Christendom and the world smacks of
Baalism today. Sad to say, like the Israelites sometimes even Jehovah's
people can be affected with Baalism. Sometimes they say that there are
too many meetings. They don't want to exert themselves. They don't want
the deeper things of the truth but always say to keep it simple. They
wont take Friday off for the convention. They reserve many weekends for
leisure. Where do they get their enjoyment; from a weekend away from
Christian activities with their brothers or with the brothers in
theocratic activities? Sometimes their parties and weddings become
Baal-like. They slow down in service and meetings to get more material
prosperity. They say pioneering is not for everyone, but a university
education is very important. They will offer up their children on the
altar of education. The Canaanites were destroyed, we don't want to be.
Powerful stuff! "
See there, its all our fault! We just don't apreciate having that heavy yoke on our necks! Instead of heading off camping, we should spend the weekend in "thocratic activities"!
Doesn't that just make you yearn to go to the next meeting, knowing the "slave" thinks so highly of you?
