This
is not mine, and I check and didn't see me posting it in the past, but it’s appropriate with what Covid did to the door to
door preaching work.
Considering we are living
in the LAST DAYS, and EVERLASTING LIFE IS AT STAKE………
and the only means of
SALVATION ------is the preaching work……..
WHY WOULD JEHOVAH ALLOW
DOOR TO DOOR PREACHING TO STOP FOR A WHOLE YEAR-----MAYBE LONGER?????
All
Jehovah’s Witnesses never noticed how dumb the door to door
preaching work actually is.
JEHOVAH is the GREATEST EMERGENCY RESPONDER. And he is
responding to the GREATEST EMERGENCY EVER IN HUMAN HISTORY.
THE
GREATEST EMERGENCY IS THIS……….WE ARE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS.
And
the only means for all people to be saved is to WARN THEM OF THE
COMING DESTRUCTION----THE GREAT TRIBULATION FOLLOWED BY ARMAGEDDON.
Any
person that dies at ARMAGEDDON… WILL DIE ETERNALLY WITH NO HOPE OF
A RESURRECTION.
DO
NOT FEAR, JEHOVAH IS THE GREAT EMERGENCY RESPONDER, and he has made
available the GREATEST PREACHING WORK EVER through the Organization
called; The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society ------AKA God Earthly
Organization.
BUT
WAIT……...
Imagine
an Emergency Responder learns of an impending terrorist plot to
detonate a bomb at a crowded concert.
Without
intervention, the explosion will kill all 10,000 people in
attendance.
He
must somehow deliver urgent evacuation instructions to all in
attendance as quickly as possible.
Fortunately,
he has the authority to take the stage and use the sound system to
address the crowd personally — and he has the expertise to
successfully execute this strategy with 100% certainty.
However,
he chooses another strategy.
He
instead selects a SINGLE INDIVIDUAL in the crowd and privately
whispers the vital evacuation instructions privately.
This
random person must then write the warning and evacuation plan to the
best of his ability and pass it to other attendees one by one on
paper. As they receive the instructions they are to share this
information. The
Emergency Responder then stands aside quietly.
After
many hours the message is offered (often repeatedly) to all
attendees, yet of the 10,000 people in attendance...only eight people
heed the warning.
To
make matters worse, thousands more attendees have since entered the
arena, bringing the number of potential victims from 10,000 to
50,000. And many more are entering each minute. In fact, the rate of
people entering the building now outpaces the number of people
successfully receiving the warning!
This
strange strategy was able to warn a paltry 0.1% of the crowd,
actually less if we want to be real.
The remaining 99.9% of men,
women, and children are now poised to be killed at any moment.
Such
a method of emergency communication would be sadistically
ineffective, and yet Jehovah’s Witnesses claim that their God is
using a method so similar that my analogy scarcely qualifies as one.
According
to the Watchtower Organization, God wishes to save as many people as
possible from the approaching catastrophe of Armageddon.
The
key to survival is to simply recognize the sovereignty of the one
true god. This isn’t too challenging a hurdle. Nothing is too
fantastic for an omnipotent god; surely just making people aware that
he exists should be simple.
Clear
your mind of the concept of preaching and imagine you had unlimited
power and the desire to save all of humanity by making them aware
that you exist. There are no bad ideas here. Not even the sky is the
limit.
Could
you reveal your godliness unequivocally to the world? Of course you
could.
Perhaps
a simultaneous personal vision occurs to each human on earth. Made
clear in every language at every comprehension level. These
synchronized revelations could be sent clearly and beautifully
through every culture and into every land.
From
the boardrooms executives atop of the tallest skyscrapers to the
tribes people hunting amongst the deepest jungle brush. Like a live,
celestial broadcast the truth and the hope of everlasting life can be
made clear and fairly to all. It would be irrefutable and
instantaneous. Anyone choosing to disregard may do so by their own
will. The rest may be saved knowing that their survival was not left
in the hands of imperfect humans.
Could
this be done?
Of course; and we should not accept any logistical
limitations for an omnipotent god.
The
chambered response is likely “It would be too easy for people to
believe.”
Too
easy?! Too easy to be saved? Too easy for God’s name to be
vindicated? Is that not God’s prime concern? Why on earth should it
be anything less than easy?
This
idea of a public revelation shouldn’t seem radical. Scripture is
full of precedent set for human revelations...they’ve just
traditionally had smaller audiences (think Abram, Noah, Moses, or
John).
Knowing
that public revelation is an option----- let’s reconsider the approach
we’ve accepted as the gold standard — --------THE PREACHING WORK.
Watchtower
claims that god, like our Emergency Responder, privately revealed his
means of salvation to one Charles Taze Russell — a random
businessman from Pittsburgh. Russell’s expanding printing company
continues to spread this written interpretation through literature to
whomever happens to accept it.
Now,
more than 100 years later, this message has reached an embarrassing
0.1% of the world’s population.
This leaves the remaining 99.9% of
the planet’s population supposedly poised for complete
extermination.
Additionally,
the recruitment work of Jehovah’s Witnesses does not keep pace with
the additional non-JWs being born each day. (385,000 babies born each
day)
These
new “attendees” flood through the “arena” entrance every
minute while we’re having a hard enough time passing notes as it
is!
In
both the analogy and the Witness doctrine, the more time that passes,
the greater the loss of life (and the the larger funeral pyre will be
need to be to accommodate the corpses). If that outlook isn’t grim
enough, add to it that according to Watchtower, their God is the
mastermind of the deadly plot itself. T
his renders their version of
God …..both the Emergency Responder...and the terrorist.
The
fault in my analogy is, of course, that there is no imminent divine
threat to life, nor an Emergency Responder that would ever conjure
such an absurd strategy.
There’s
just a religion peddling such nonsense.
Watchtower
claims that God has left the world’s most important message of
salvation in the hands of self-evidently ineffectual humans — to
which they have designated themselves as the spearhead (a claim which
has yielded only self-enrichment for the past 100 years).
The
false doctrine of a literal Armageddon is not only unscriptural,
.....but
stands at strict odds with the concept of an all-powerful and loving
God.
An
all-powerful God would have the ability to make his presence
unequivocally known and deliver his message clearly and with zero
ambiguity. He would maximize salvation and, if he “wanted” to
save ALL of humanity, he would accomplish exactly his wish.
And
all-loving god could choose no other option.
