http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2014/01/14/i-have-a-message-from-god-for-you/

Alternative Daily Text for Tuesday, January 14, 2014

“I have a message from God for you.” (Judges 3:20)

As Christians we are confident “that the wicked will soon be no more.” (Awake!, February 22, 1994, page 19) How will this promise come true? God gave a prophetic picture through Judge Ehud. The account shows how “the wicked” – that is, all people who are not Jehovah’s Witnesses – will come to their end. Ehud visited Eglon “in his cool roof chamber. Then Ehud said: ‘I have a message from God for you.’ … Then Ehud drew the sword from his right thigh with his left hand and plunged it into his belly … Ehud went out … closing the doors of the roof chamber behind him and locking them.” – Judges 3:20-24.

Eglon believed that Ehud would have “a message from God” for him – exactly like the people in our witnessing territory think that we would have “a message from God” for them. (Keep on the Watch!, page 7) But now “the slaughter work [must] go on,” thus we need to draw our sword and tell the homeowner: “That sword is the teaching of God!” (Judges 6:17, ERV; The Watchtower, January 15, 1972, page 52) This way we will “destroy all goatlike ones” in our witnessing territory. (What Does God Require of Us?, page 13) Afterwards we should leave the house and lock the door, according to Ehud’s example.

“Let the one who has no sword sell his outer garment and buy one [now],” according to Jesus’ unequivocal command in Luke 22:36. “We should not think that Jehovah is going too far … nor should we feel sorry for those executed by God’s [servants].” (The Watchtower, January 15, 1972, page 52). “The destruction … [must be] thorough.” – Insight on the Scriptures, volume II, page 799.

http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2014/01/13/the-anger-of-jehovah-was-kindled/

Alternative Daily Text for Monday, January 13, 2014

“The anger of Jehovah was kindled **against Israel, and he moved David against them, saying, Go, number Israel and Judah.” (2 Samuel 24:1, ASV)**

King David conducted a fatal census which caused much suffering among the Israelites. According to the inspired account in 2 Samuel 24:1, it was Jehovah who incited him to do it. (NWT 1984, Footnote;NIV; NLT; ESV; KJV; HCSB; ISV; GWT; WEB) But the later parallel account says clearly: “Satan stood up against Israel and incited David to number Israel.” (1 Chronicles 21:1) Does this mean that Jehovah and Satan are the same person?

Apparently they are. But of course, for true Christians the Bible is not the decisive factor; rather their teachings are based solely on the publications of the Watchtower Society. These confirm the identification of Jehovah with Satan, for they say that “Jehovah God, the Greater Pharaoh, is Universal Sovereign.” (Survival Into a New Earth, page 79; see also The Watchtower, May 1, 1987, page 19) But it’s also out of the question that “the Greater Pharaoh [is] Satan the Devil.” – The Watchtower, September 1, 1989, page 15; August 1, 1970, page 463.

The reference work Insight on the Scriptures summarizes the evidence: ”Some commentators consider that the one … who incited David to take the census was Jehovah … Such a viewpoint could be harmonized with the view that Satan … incited David.” (volume II, page 765) What does that mean for us? “We need to abandon … the antitypical ‘Pharaoh the king of Egypt and … Jehovah’s organization … Once we have got out from under the visible organization of God … we should not again resort to it for aid and protection.” – The Watchtower, May 15, 1977, page 313.

http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2014/01/12/the-kingdom-of-the-heavens-is-like-leaven/

Alternative Daily Text for Sunday, January 12, 2014

“The Kingdom of the heavens is like leaven.” (Matthew 13:33)

Under the headline “The Exposing of the False Kingdom Refuge,” the Watchtower magazine said “that the Bible unvaryingly uses leaven to symbolize something bad, unrighteousness, error, sin … So the parable must illustrate something unfavorable about matters having to do with the ‘kingdom of the heavens.’” (October 1, 1975, pages 33, 34) The book “Let Your Kingdom Come” added: “When used figuratively in the Bible, leaven always has an unfavorable connotation … The apostle Paul counseled Christians to clear away the ‘leaven of badness and wickedness.’ … [The parable] pictures the stealthy corrupting of the professed Christian congregation with false Babylonish teaching and practice.” – page 101.

How would the “leaven” contaminate the whole Christian congregation with false teachings? The July 15, 2008 Watchtower explained: “The leaven ferments the whole mass … Like leaven, the Kingdom-preaching work … has expanded to the point that the Kingdom is now being preached ‘to the most distant part of the earth;’”; then it added that all Jehovah’s Witnesses are “part of this amazing expansion of the Kingdom work.” (page 20) Thus the “leaven” represents “the Kingdom-preaching work.” Jehovah’s Witnesses supposedly preach “the good news of the Kingdom,” but in actual fact they promote “false Babylonish teaching and practice” in all the earth.

According to the May 15, 1900 issue of Zion’s Watch Tower “we may be as sure that he [Jesus] would not use leaven as a symbol of righteousness as that he would not use leprosy as a symbol of holiness.” (page 154) No, “leaven … is used in the Scriptures to represent false teaching, a corrupting influence.” (Insight on the Scriptures, volume I, page 1179) That “the Kingdom of the heavens is like leaven” means that the teaching of this Kingdom is a “false teaching” which has “a corrupting influence” on the whole Christian until now.

http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2014/01/11/honor-your-father-and-your-mother/

Alternative Daily Text for Saturday, January 11, 2014

“Honor your father and your mother.” (Deuteronomy 5:16)

For thousands of years, parents have been persistently quoting this command when their children refused to obey them. But what kind of “honor” is it about? Everything that Jesus did was “in conformity to God’s law to Israel” which included the abovementioned command. (Insight on the Scriptures, volume II, page 58) He gave us “the ideal, the perfect, example to follow.” – The Watchtower, December 15, 1985, page 5.

How did Jesus ‘honor’ his mother? Once “the mother of Jesus” asked him a favor, “but Jesus said to her: ‘What have I to do with you, woman?’” (John 2:3, 4, NWT 1984) He did not ‘honor’ his mother by obedience – rather he forbid her any intervention in his life whatsoever. Like his fellow Jews, he likely knew that “from garments cometh a moth, and from women [especially from mothers] wickedness.” – Ben Sira 42:13, KJV.

However, we should follow Jesus’ example not only when dealing with our literal mothers but also regarding “Jehovah’s organization [which] is like a mother.” (1998 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses, page 161) Whenever the Watchtower organization tries to meddle in our affairs, we should reply like Jesus: “You must not tell me what to do.” (John 2:4, CEV) We should allow neither our literal mothers nor “Jehovah’s motherlike organization” to decide on our lives. – The Watchtower, June 1, 1998, page 23.

If they accept 587 instead of 607 and use 365 instead of 360 days for "a time", they would come to 1969 and could use the moon landing instead of WW1 as the event that distracted people from noticing the birth of God's Kingdom. There is even a movie "The Generation of 1969." ... See here:

http://dailytext2.wordpress.com/2014/01/10/unless-you-repent-you-will-all-likewise-be-destroyed/

Alternative Daily Text for Friday, January 10, 2014

“Unless you repent, you will all likewise be destroyed.” (Luke 13:3)

Jehovah claims to be “a righteous God and a Savior.” (Isaiah 45:21) But how did he save his worshippers of old? He saved Noah and his family from the deluge that he himself brought upon the earth. (Genesis 6:13, 14) He saved Lot and his daughters from the destruction that he himself brought upon Sodom and Gomorrah. (Genesis 19:23, 24) He saved Joseph and his family from the famine that he himself brought upon the land. (Psalm 105:16) In Elijah’s day he also saved a widow from the famine that he himself brought upon Israel. (2 Kings 8:1) God saved Jeremiah and Ebed-Melech from the Babylonians that he himself sent to Jerusalem. – Jeremiah 25:8, 9; 45:5.

Still today he demands people to “truly appreciate the salvation provided through Christ and God’s grace.” (Awake!, April 8, 1978, page 28) This is another “salvation” from a disaster that he himself wants to bring upon mankind. (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) Jesus did the same; when he told people that they would “all likewise be destroyed” he actually meant that he himself would kill them. – Luke 19:27.

If a criminal would announce to murder others but spare us – would we revere him as our “savior?” If a burglar robs other houses but spares ours, would we go from house to house and proclaim his name? If someone takes everything from us and leaves a piece of bread, would we thank him for the ‘wonderful salvation?’
