There wont be any one-shot wonders to bring the mighty Dark Watchtower crumbling down. No magic rings to destroy, no torpedoes that are to be launced in some weak spot to make the whole damn thing explode.
But...
There is a way to beat the Tower, and already the process of it´s destruction has begun. Every member (or considerate) leaves, it´s a victory. Every person who is informed of the decietful nature and prison the WTBTS is and turns their ear from their vile lies, it´s a victory.
Growth has been slowing down and negative numbers are beginning to show. Most of it´s children are leaving, thanks to education and the internet.
Simple things beat the Tower really:
Websites like these.
When somebody leaves and makes a new dream and wish upon a star, and shoots for it.
Living yourlife the way you want.
When two people who have been hurt and find each other and start friendships or a new love begins.
Sure we have family members still in, and that for the most part is a big hurt....but some times, you have to let that go too. There is always the possibility of helping a family member become liberated, but also, there are somethings that never change and you have to let go.
In fact, there has been enough damage done to the Tower´s foundation already that it is weakning. Maybe in our generation or perhaps the next, it will simply fade to a few members. Sure it will most likely be around for awhile, because there is always some fool who is going to buy a bridge.
I defied and beat the tower. The memories and teachings are all forgotten, and I realize one thing, paradise is what you make of it.
My new love, this ocean, the wind in the trees, the sun in my face...and finally peace to be found.
I can´t help but smile and see the similarities of Andy Dufrense character in the Shawshank Redemption in mirror to my own. Zeijuantinaho...
Peace and paradise is where YOU want to find it. Not where somebody tells you where it is and how to get it.
Anybody who knows and reads their Bible and has decided to believe in such, all they have to remember is: ¨Believe that I am the Son of God and Thru Me you will be saved¨.
That is for everybody. How you want to dictate your life around that scripture...well that is up to you. And no matter what people say when they quote disciples or Paul....These are the words from Christ himself. So in a way, nobody is an expert with the Bible. With those words, all you have to do is ¨believe¨. All the rest of what you hear...be it the ¨how, what, where, when¨ of it all to your eternal salvation is opinion and frankly for my belief is bullshit. Just believe and live your life. You´re saved...You´re a winner! Now go do something with your life, to whatever your heart dictates!
Some advice? If your heart calls upon you to help people, do it. Be it the needy, or starving, or people who cant afford medical care or don´t have access to these things....just do it. Believe me, it is a hard life...but at the end of the day, you go home knowing you helped a fellow human being whose life is just a bit more difficult than yours. And you can do this anywhere.
After 20 years to this date, that I invented the handle of D8TA, I put this name to rest...as well as my typing fingers.
And should you happen to come to Aracaju - Brazil, and take the ferry to the Island of Costa Barra...look for that little beach house, third from the end of the road named Avenida Reiberopolis...and stop by to say hello.
