I am sick of being told this same crap after decades of
suffering at the hands of wicked men and women, how many of you have had to
fight these irrational expectations we are supposed to grin and smile when
people are actively trying to screw with us and Elders say “
“Good it is that one should wait, even silently, for the salvation of
Jehovah” (Lamentations 3:26;
Titus 2:13)
My life in the Organization has not been entirely bad, there
were many good people and plenty of jerks like you all experienced in this
adventure we call life. Are there any
posters here who have discredited the “You must wait upon Jehovah” or “Put this in
Jehovah’s hand" as you endure evil coming from, not Satanic or worldly pressures
but attacks, burning missiles from wicked ones in the Congregation. Which Bible scriptures can I use to demonstrate it's wrong to wait while evil is running rampant and they're not doing any good (I understand why many have left the Bible and religion after seeing all the hatred and hypocrisy in religion yet the only way to counter them is using the Bible in this particular case.). We all know the Witnesses will put JW.ORG and the Governing Body's words like the Mormons do when the BOM is found lacking, they discredit the Bible so their men are valid. Many of us are sick and can't continue to face these challenges thrown our way by bad men Peter wrote about who are causing us anxiety, depression stress, stomach problems and they get off by bringing us harm (2 Peter 2:1-5). I know the Elders use their positions and status to downplay our concerns and stress they throw upon us. How do we use the Bible to show it' wrong to wait upon Jehovah when Satan's using these Witnesses to bring pain to us?
2. Reading and
watching Perry’s Video on getting through to Jehovah’s Witnesses was
interesting, can you help me think of ways to counter arguments to fight that
stupid line “Just wait on Jehovah and he will take care of this” because I’ve
been dealing with problems from these men and women for decades, not months or
years, decades of Jehovah’ People doing
bad things to others too. As a kid I
viewed the Elders with wrong thinking, I thought by being on the platform or
having a title that meant God was using them and I was bad because I had
negative thought or even might have committed the “unforgiveable sin” because I
said one Elder was “Wicked" because his three stepdaughters accused him of
groping them and they later recanted (in 1979 they eventually got put in foster
care because the abuse was rampant and I was only 9 trying to get my mother to
call the police which she did and she got reproved for doing this).
3. My dear mammy was
reproved for not allowing the Elders and Jehovah’s Organization deal with the
abuse of these girls and she was warned she would get charged with gossip if
she did that sort of thing again. That
was in 1979, very little knowledge and poor judgement calls dealig with
Pedophiles was not uncommon, even now we
see how inept many elders are when dealing with people like Fredrick Maclean,
Brother Kendrick and many,many,many more coming through the system now. If Candace COntii waited upon their Jehovah
she would be suffering and Kendrick probably would be harming innocent victims,
you all were shocked by the response of his wife but that’s how the women of
pedophiles often are. She knew he had
sexually abused her grandbaby but stay’s for reasons not clear to us all. I think she might have little choice if
Kendrick’s is the breadwinner of their family, often good women get stuck with
bad men because of financial logistics.
She might be waiting upon Jehovah to get her life together or something.
So how would you use the Bible to attack the “Waiting upon
Jehovah” BS when wicked Elders are attacking your family’s name and trying to
overtly do more? There are scriptures
that say:
“6The person who is
taught the word should share all his goods with his teacher. 7Stop being deceived; God is not to be ridiculed.
A person harvests whatever he plants: 8The person who sows
through human means will harvest decay from human means, but the person who
sows in the Spirit will harvest eternal life from the Spirit. 9Let’s not get tired of doing what is good, for at
the right time we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up. 10So then, whenever we have the opportunity, let’s
practice doing good to everyone, especially to the family of faith.
25Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the destruction of
wicked people when it comes.
26The LORD will be your confidence. He will keep your foot from
getting caught.
27Do not hold back anything good
from those who are entitled to it when you have the power to do so.
28When you have the good thing with you, do not tell your
neighbor, "Go away! Come back tomorrow. I'll give you something
then."
29Do not plan to do something
wrong to your neighbor while he is sitting there with you and suspecting
nothing.
30Do not quarrel with a person for no reason if he has not harmed
you.
32The devious
person is disgusting to the LORD. The LORD's intimate advice is with decent
people.
