  Utterly destroy

  by hoj in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many times god orders his people to utterly destroy the enemy.

  this one is from judges, the same book that had gideon's army which i see as allegory.

  could this be figurative also?.

  But notice it wasn't God that wanted this done. It was the assembly of Israelites.

  Look at verse 25

  "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes."

  Sometimes men try to put blame on God for the things men do. This whole account really

  shows 'sickening' and 'despicable' things some men can do to other people.

  Witness Watchdog likes to poop on everyone's party.

  Nobody likes dog poop, not even the biggest poops of

  them all who sit on the GB. Witness Watchdog needs

  a life.

  Hey Mega,

  That's surely an apostate picture. Oh, wait a minute it looks

  like one of those subliminal faces on WT publications. Ok,

  never mind

  the gb is closing down and selling all central american branches.

  the congregations are to be serviced out of the mexican branch.. they end the letter by saying that aren't the congregations in the.

  central american territory to be expecting great rejoicing since they'll.

  With so many "Branches" in little countries the WTS runs the risk of some big plans filtering out.

  Cutting down on branches also helps control who has access to highly confidential information.

  The cost cutting gained from the closure of these offices can't really be much. They would of course

  still maintain Special Pioneers, especially those who had high offices and know a lot of confidential

  information.

  It's to me another example of the WTS rounding up the wagons mentality.

  Although I don't doubt that the distribution by hand of the SGO might save some pennies per congregation,

  for me the idea that it is being handed out like the Kingdom Ministries reinforces the fact that it is a "for

  publishers only" issue. It makes the R&F Witness think they are special, and taken care of, when their

  SGO passes out the issues on time. Have you ever been under a brother who took forever to hand out

  KMs? People hate that. They feel uncared for, as if their share of "food" wasn't served at the "right time".

  I think it's very controlling and it may help develop the mentality of rounding up the waggons because

  the end is "soooo near" and "imminent".

  Another way to exercise control for control's sake and make the SGOs busier and feeling more and

  more important. Now SGOs got something else to do, they're actively helping in distributing the Kool-

  aid at the proper time.

  the congregations are to be serviced out of the Mexican Branch.

  They end the letter by saying that aren't the congregations in the

  Central American territory to be expecting great rejoicing since they'll

  soon have a large number of Special Pioneers who'll be leaving Bethels

  and coming to help out in the territories.

  Siso, as a newbie expect to be run through the mill,

  made to walk a path of red embers and verbally abused

  by the ol' timers who have nuttin' better than be ornery

  to the un-initiated. It's just the way things seem to get

  done here, don't take it personally. There's a lot of helpful

  folks who'll give some good advice along the way if you

  stick it out. Anyway, from one newbie to another, good

  to have you asking questions in the forum, it's ok to ask

  even if some think it a sin.
