18New WT Article on "grieving" Jah's HS
by daniel-p inso an old jw friend just contacted me on facebook to tell me to check out some new article on not grieving jehovah's holy spirit--he said everyone was talking about it and that i should check it out.
he knows i've been inactive, and this is the first time he's contacted me in years.. of course, he's known to get excited about things quite easily, especially in his manic states (bipolar).. anyway, does anyone know the article of which he was talking about?
probably just a bunch of gobbledygook, but i thought it would be funny to read the latest gb tirade..

mesmerized!yup, the gb could say anything they want and it would be wonderful. The full blurb from this brain dead is as follows.
Bro. Barr brought this point out during his talk at the annual meeting. And he repeated it for emphasis. For me, it pulled together
recent understandings that the callings for members of the 144,000 has apparently not yet ceased (1/15/08 wt) and the enlightened
understanding last year that the "generation" referred to the anointed, not the wicked generation of mankind. It just highlights to
mean just how awesome and loving Jehovah is. It is like he is unraveling his purpose before us but in a way that keeps us
mesmerized! It also definitely clearly emphasizes why we must resist focusing on dates and just set about focusing on carrying out Jesus'
commands regarding being busy in the ministry, seeking first Jehovah's Kingdom and righteousness, cultivating the love among ourselves that
will clearly identify us as Jesus' true followers, keeping our eye simple, and so forth.Yup, Jehovah had to, thru his spirit direct them to say half a dozen "different" things about generation in order to "mesmerize" them.

paragraph 16 and 17 refer to a time when the christian congregation was very young. much of the doctrine and teaching was new and inovative. So why would this same situaton exist today. It is over 100 years and still there is a problem with doctrine. The references to the magnificence of the gb and on the other side the ever pervasive "apostates" is so subtle, but ever present. How did it always escape my notice when I was "in".

by booby inso if i have it right, in the dominican republic, right next door to haiti they have huge gatherings that would obviously eat up vast resources, both financially and food stuffs etc.
instead of cancelling and diverting this to haiti they ask for more money for the "world wide" work.

and one more sickening excerpt.
We suspect not a few of our young brothers and sisters attending universities may have died when they crashed to the grounds.
One nice experience--one sister was scheduled to attend a lecture on philosophy n she decided she did not need to hear that stuff. As soon as she got outside the entire structure collapsed. Visible proof where 'higher learning' takes you--right into the ground!! Now if any want to attend university--they will have to move to another country--as all their bldgs crashed to the ground!! And believe me--their parents will work to send them there--that is the god they have confidence in--Jehovah is kinda of a sideline one.

below is an excerpt from the email message. Notice how "haiti is FINISHED" and although the e-mail also acknowledged their were over 100 witness deaths, still it is "Jehovah really does take care of us!! It just shows how self centred they are. because "they" survived, Jehovah really takes care of them. To bad about the deaths and destruction over tlhere in Haiti.
Bottom line is Haiti is FINISHED--received its final death knell--this literally killed the country.
However, our brotherhood is as strong as ever--had 3 deliveries already from the DR Branch--they sent us a doctor n a emergency clinic has been set up in the class room behind the assembly hall.
Jehovah really does take care of us!! Monday we had propane n diesel deliveries--without the usual paper transaction, cheques n requisitions, etc. (which they usually adamantly demand!) Also, we had a 40' container come in with lit on Monday n it was quite a challenge for the driver to maneuver that load in our little driveway--we suddenly realize our little Bethel is growing into a major affair!

And emphasis every little thing as wonderful on them. of course this would be far more magnanimous then any of the "worldly effortsm since theirs are truly driven by Jehovah's holy spirit
Hi everyone
Well today we experienced a unique event- the Dominican Republic received a zone visit from Charles Molohan of NY Bethel and for the first time ever all the Witnesses in the country were able to benefit from the programme together via video linkup to different locations across the country from the main stage in Santo Domingo . There was a total attendance across the 5 stadium and assembly hall sites of 65,185, twice the number of Witnesses in the country! The visit was translated into Haitian Creole, English and sign language.
A special report was given with the latest on Haiti so here are some of the main points we wanted to share with you. Sadly 104 brothers are now confirmed dead. Many of us have applied to go and help out with any relief but as you'll see from the report, its currently far too dangerous, plus Bethel are struggling to feed all of the bethelites with the few supplies they've received so the more personnel, the more difficult it gets to keep everyone going.
Attached below is a report we recieved plus an email from a sister in the Haiti Bethel. It's a long read, but important for those of you wanting to know more about our brothers.
---------------
Report from Haiti - Zone Visit - 17 January 2010The day after the earthquake, the Haiti branch made enquires to check that all missionaries, special pioneers, circuit overseers were alive, and what state they were in. Bethel and the Assembly Hall didn't suffer any real damage. The Governing Body started to co-ordinate the relief efforts, in order to provide practical and spiritual help. On Thursday a little after midday, the trucks with aid arrived marked Humanitarian Aid of Jehovah's Witnesses on the side, containing 6 tonnes of food and medicine. This relief effort has been the largest ever organised on the island of Hispaniola .
The Assembly Hall became the refuge centre for hundreds of injured brothers and sisters. The vast majority were attended to by brothers and sisters who are doctors and nurses from the Dominican Republic who had offered their services. They have attended to hundreds of broken bones and other injuries. They have carried out operations and amputated limbs. The cases requiring most urgent medical attention have been taken over the border into the Dominican Republic to Jimani, where they have been met by a group of Witness doctors, and treated at the hospital there. Many have then been transferred to hospitals in other parts of the country, by ambulance or in the brother's cars. Groups of brothers with Creole interpreters have been receiving the brothers who are brought to the Dominican Republic , providing them with food and medicine, demonstrating true Christian love.
A brother who went to Haiti to help on the relief effort was interviewed for the New York Times newspaper, as he prepared to cross the border into Haiti . The journalist asked him how he was going to get into the country, and which organisation he was working with to do relief work. He explained that Jehovah's Witnesses were already providing aid to the brothers, and giving them food, and that more supplies were on their way. The journalist was very surprised and impressed.
104 brothers are now confirmed dead. 10,000 witnesses live in the areas affected by the earthquake. The Bethel family and construction teams have been working to rescue those who are trapped under rubble. Brooklyn Bethel has offered to send a French-speaking doctor. As far as we know the Kingdom Halls survived the earthquake, and brothers are currently taking refuge in them. In one Kingdom Hall, between 300 and 500 witnesses who lost their homes are now living in the hall. The branch in Dominican Republic is working hard to provide aid. 25 tonnes of food and medicine have already been sent from the DR.
This is only the beginning of the aid effort. The relief work will continue with the help of the brothers throughout the DR. At present, it would not be suitable for the branch to send groups of volunteers into Haiti ; this work is being done by a specialised team. It was asked that donations of food and clothing not be given to Bethel , as it proves more effective and economically viable for the Branch to buy these in bulk. We were asked to keep donating to the Worldwide Work, as this fund will be used to pay for the relief work in Haiti .
--------------We have attached some photos of the Zone Visit, we were assigned to the Estadio Cibao baseball stadium in Santiago where 10,983 were present.
Below is an email from a sister in the Haiti Branch - it is long but for those of you want further information from an eyewitness account it will be interesting.
Love

Ah, another chance to pat ourselves on the back. What a gratuitous diatribe. It is true, they don.t pass a collection plate. But they have up to three different contribution boxes in the halls. Local, world wide work, and sometimes for special like kingdom hall construction. They have dozens of boxes closely guarded at every convention, and they even had a contribution box at every book study location when they still had that arrangement, which by the way would be the way of salvation when the great trib and all the persecution started in earnest. Also at least annually if not more they use the watchtower to plead for donations, advising members how they can will their money to them, even donate their jewellery to them. And just think how wonderful they are in not asking for repayment, The wicked world organizations like the red cross of course are going to demand a repayment. They collect vast amounts of money, and after looking after the vast empire (imagine the cost of keeping Patterson running) and themselves there is the opportunity to give some help to situations like Haiti. Is the writer not able to see the dilution of contributions thru the society.
