If I tell you to go into a room with a table filled with tiny objects and bring me back a thing-a-ma-jig.......how can you be certain what I'm requesting? Or, that I'm even serious?
The Watchtower Society does that to words and concepts; especially important ones.
By not clearly defining the word and asking for instances and reasons to accept the word the poor brothers and sisters at the Kingdom Hall fall victim to a parasite concept. (They are under a delusion that all this has been explained. It is a false sense of education they learn in the Ministry School.)
PARASITE CONCEPT
I've invented this term. It means taking an ordinary meaningful generality and attaching a piggy-back inference to it that cannot be removed.
Brothers and Sisters say they are "in the Truth". That is a Parasite Concept. Truth is that which embraces reality. But the JW TRUTH is whatever current doctrine the Governing Body happens to be peddling which is always subject to revision, revocation or distortion.
Jehovah has "always had witnesses in all lands in all time periods"??
Bullshit. The word "witness" in greek is MARTYR.
History has been filled with Jews who martyred themselves; but, the Watchtower Society is a far cry from their mindset or rationale.
1.Jehovah is a made up name which first appeared in Germany. It is now known to be an inaccurate rendering of the Hebrew letters which represented God to ancient Jews.
2.Ancient Jews had much too much respect for their God to risk even accidentally bringing reproach on his name. They avoided directly pronouncing it.
3.Jews would rather die than see anything connected with their pure worship intervene. Many died martyrs deaths.
4.The self-styled "Apostle" Paul hijacked the Jew's history and religion and grafted his own neo-Platonic version of Jesus onto it.
5.The power and authority of the Roman Empire (under Constantine and his successors) helped erase what was left of isolated Judaism unconnected to Jesus and sought harmony with the christianized hybrids who sought shelter from persecution.
6.The power and authority of the Catholic Church erased all traces (as best they could) of any worship other than the APPROVED version. This included documents, scripture, doctrine and official ritual.
From that point forward until the Protestant Reformation it doesn't matter who did what. The Catholics and the Protestants claim to be "spiritual" Jews. They have taken the birthright and the promise and covenants of Judaism for themselves the way settlers stole land from the American Indians.
Modern Day Jehovah's Witnessess are really nothing but imposters.
There is no agreement between what they consider PURE WORSHIP and what any of their previous so-called witness incarnations believed. None. A JW of today would get into a heated argument with one of Russell's Bible Students or even Rutherford' devout JW's and they'd call each other the fops of Satan.
Unless all these historical witnesses agree in substance--it makes no difference what you call them because they produced NO FRUITS to identify them as true christians.
It is a Parasitic Concept.
