The Qualms
Happy is the man that has not walked in the counsel of the Watchtower, and in the ministry has not gone out, and in the Kingdom Hall has not sat. But his delight is in thinking for himself. Whoever has done that will certainly become like a tree planted in the desert, that dries up in its season and the foliage of which does wither, and nothing he does will succeed.
Why have Jehovah’s Witnesses been in tumult and the circuit overseers themselves kept muttering an empty thing? The elders take their stand and the members of the Governing Body themselves have massed together as one against the apostates and against their publications, saying: “Let us tear their writings apart and cast their websites away from us!” The very one sitting in front of his computer will laugh; an apostate himself will hold them in derision. At that time he will disturb them, saying: “I, even I, have published my truth on my website, my holy blog. We will break the Watchtower with an iron scepter, as though a potter’s vessel we will dash it to pieces.” And now, o Jehovah’s Witnesses, exercise insight; let yourselves be corrected, o preachers of the earth. Leave the Watchtower with fear and be joyful with trembling.
The wise one has said in his heart: “There is no Jehovah. All those worshipping him have acted ruinously, they have acted detestably in their dealing. There is no one doing good. As for Jehovah’s Witnesses, they have looked down upon the worldlings, to see whether there exists anyone wanting to study the Bible with them. They have all turned aside, they are all alike corrupt; there is no one doing good, not even one. I became upset when they were saying to me: “To the house of Jehovah let us go.” Our feet proved to be standing within your gates, o Kingdom Hall.
O brewery, who will be a guest in your tent? Who will reside at your holy Oktoberfest? He who is walking intoxicated and practicing drinking in time and singing drinking songs in his heart. He has eaten with his tongue. His money he has given out on beer. He that is doing these things will be made to totter. Those sowing seed with hops and malt will reap even with a joyful cry.
The law of Jehovah is defect, bringing back the Mediaeval Ages. The reminder of Jehovah is unworthy, making the wise one inexperienced. The orders from Jehovah are unright, defiling the heart. The commandment of Jehovah is mean, making the eyes blind. For a day in his courtyards is worse than a thousand elsewhere.
Jehovah is my shepherd. I shall lack nothing. In grassy pastures he makes me lie down; by the slaughterhouse he conducts me. My flesh he roasts. He leads me to lush meadows for his stomach’s sake.
I have not sat with men of untruth; and with those who study the Watchtower I do not come in. I have hated the congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and with the wicked ones I do not sit. I shall wash my hands in innocency itself. Jehovah, I have hated the dwelling of your house and the place of the residing of your witnesses. One thing I have asked from Jehovah—it is what I shall look for, that I may not have to enter the house of Jehovah again all the days of my life. Happy is the man in whose cupboard is no Watchtower.
Taste and see that pork roast is good, o you people; happy is the able-bodied man that has it on his plate. O brewery, send out your beer and your wheat beer. May these themselves lead me. There will come to be plenty of beer on the earth; on the top of the mountains there will be an overflow. Unless the drunkard himself drinks the beer, it is to no avail that its brewers have worked hard on it.
As for me, my feet had almost turned aside, my steps had nearly been made to slip. For I became envious of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, when I would see their paradise images. For they claim that they have no deathly pangs and their paunch would become fat. Look! These are the wicked, who are at ease indefinitely. They have increased their hours of field service. Surely it is in vain that they are going from house to house. And I kept considering so as to know this; it was a trouble in my eyes, until I proceeded to come into the Kingdom Hall. I wanted to discern their future. Surely on slippery ground is where they are standing. O how they have become an object of astonishment as in a moment! How they have reached their end, have been brought to their finish through sudden terrors! “All the meeting places of God must be burned in the land.” For there is a cup in the hand of Jehovah, and the wine is foaming, it is full of mixture.
Anyone dwelling in the secret place of sanity will procure himself lodging under the very shadow of reason. They themselves will deliver you from the trap of the Watchtower, from the pestilence causing adversities. You will not be afraid of the devil by night, nor of the elders that ring by day, nor of the end of the month where you have to submit your field service report, nor of the destruction that is called Armageddon. A thousand go witnessing and ten thousand will try to convert you; to you it will not come near. Only with your eyes will you look on and see the predictions of Jehovah’s Witnesses fail. No calamity will befall you.
Sing to Randy Jackson a new song. Sing for the jury, all you entrants of the talent show!
As for this sea so great and wide, there are submarine cables without number, fiber cables, small as well as great. There the nuclear waste barrels lie; as for the ships, them you have formed to sink in it.
The utterance of the rail rider to the newly boarded passenger is: “Sit at my right hand until the one who has reserved the seat will appear.” The cap of his power the conductor will show, saying: “Any more fares?”
Miserable is the man in fear of Jehovah, in whose commandments he has taken very much delight. Ignorant in the earth his offspring will become. Witnessing bags and bound Watchtower volumes are in his house; and his obligation to preach is standing forever.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold. A mouth they have, but they cannot speak; eyes they have, but they cannot see; ears they have, but they cannot hear. A nose they have, but they cannot smell. Hands are theirs, but they cannot feel. Feet are theirs, but they cannot walk; they utter no sound with their throat. Jehovah, on the other hand, does not have a mouth, but he also cannot speak. He does not have eyes, and he also cannot see. Ears he does not have, and he cannot hear; a nose he does not have, and he cannot smell. Hands are not his, and he cannot feel; feet are not his, and he cannot walk. He does not even have a throat with which he could utter a sound.
