Illogical illustration of “the rich man and the poor man Lazarus” (Luke 16:19-31)
by venus inillustration of the rich man and the poor man lazarus indirectly hints that the materially rich would go to hell and the poor ones to heaven.
if one reads between the lines, one can discern that this illustration is a later adoption intended to exploit the rich using the poor as a means.. i have friends who are extremely rich (net-worth in billions) and also who are materially very poor, and have found both are living in hell because of their attitude.
the excess the rich have prevents them from enjoying it (and even the affluent find a huge gap between income and desires, hence find themselves often in conflict and competition) and whereas the deprived compare themselves with the haves which prevents them also from enjoying their lives.. jesus would not provide an illustration that undermines his own most favored statement: “happy are those poor in spirit because kingdom of heavens belongs to them” (mathew 5:3) and his own explanation that heaven is the condition of one’s heart (luke 17:21) obviously he had in mind those who do not have the baggage of attachment and sense of possession, those few people of simplicity that belong to both the categories—the rich and the poor. simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, a stage where every possession serves a purpose living a life that is deliberate and intentional (not one that someone else has scripted for them) and wanting to feel more complete (not more objects of the world), at ease.

Gorge Storrs influenced Ch. T. Russel.
I found a comment by him about the Lazarus story. He of course supported the doctrine of the "dispensation" and could not resist to adopt it to this story.
while the obstinate unbelieving Jew from the time of Christ, or from the introduction of the Christian dispensation, has been "tormented:" and the "gulf" between the two dispensations is "impassable"-

1. Leader of North Korea is treated like a God, people pray to a statue of him every day. All people have to attend funerals of the leader and have to cry for him under menace of a 6 month labor camp = concentration camp.
If you dont follow the humble and faithful slave you have not place in the congregation and get cut off. Most JW adore the GB. If you dont listen to the GB you get disfellowshipped and 6 month you have lost everything and you live furtheron like in a JW-style "concentration camp", you are separated from your peers.
2. You have to get a conservative hair cut, you have no choice. You have to choose from a government approves selection of 14 haircuts for men, 18 for women.
Surveillance cameras on public place to pull out people who dont have approved haircuts.An attractive hair cut is important in the JW service as well as clothing, surveillance is organised by critics from the sisters and brothers.
3. Bibles, Torahs, Corans and religious practise are banned.
Non-JW religious literature is banned by JW, magical literature is burned, non-religious is treated as harmful. Higher education is harmful for the devleopment of a modest character.
4. Television. 2 channels available and strictly controlled by the state. Purpose is propaganda like public service talks about haircuts. Inaccurate news. critizizing and lying about US and allies.
TV is used as main propagand-tool in the JW religion, the content is much about "micro-managing" the life of a JW, e.g. how to dress correctly and modestly, how to change character to become a volunteer for the construction work. Printed editions of publciatons are avoided.
5. 1/1000 posess a car.
JW are mostly from the lower class and dont possess much cars either.
6. freetime: no room for that, one works 70 days straight, 6 day work day and forced extra day with volunteer work, people are seen as resources rahter then as people.
JW are overloaded with theocratical duties, there are pioneers who serve 70 h a month and besides that do yet extra volunteer work in building projects.
7. Photography banned.
Interviews with JW representatives are not wished, if it turns about critical question about the organisation. Leaders are ignoring that problems exist or are relevant and do everything to hide the real financial situation and reasons for doctrinal changes.
8. Women soldiers. brainwashing military camp. Learning frases like "We are killing Americans". Used in parades to make the country look good.
As JW -women have nothing to say in the organisation they are used as propaganda tool in street service and building projects. They make the JW-country look good and not surpressive. This JW-style "army" is preaching "god is killing in Armageddon" or turning one into salt columns.
9. Family punishment. The country has a law: "3 generations of punishment". Parents, wife, kids or unborn are punished for ones crimes and come into labor camps.
JW likewise have a form of a family punishment, if one leaves the religion the JW family (grandpa, relatives, kids) and all other people from the peer punishes this person and they wont talk with it nor take up your call.
10. Everybody has to vote. As there is only once Canidate.
JW vote only for the invisible power not for human powers. The human power is exectued by the governing body anyway and one cant vote for it.
11. Sexual abuse is not a serious crime. They dont make a deal out of it.
At JW sexual abuse is treated as a sin but not as a crime.

Childabuse/pedophilia consequences and different treatment

Prof. Dr Klaus Beier from the Berlin Charitè said that about 1 % of men (after the development of the sexual orientation) find children exciting or have pedophile fantasies and 1/3 of these men implement it. From those who feel an inclination, only 1/3 is active in child abuse. The other 2/3 of men are addressed by Prof. Beier to look for help
This would be a prevalence like the morbus parkinson. During the youth this sexual inclination can be changed therapied because after the sexual determination the pedophile inclination cant be changed anymore.

Research report 2014 - Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry
Childhood maltreatment leaves long-lasting modifications on genes
Childhood maltreatment not only harms mind and body but leaves long-lasting modifications on genes. Patients suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder who have or have not experienced childhood maltreatment, displayed distinct epigenetic profiles in immune cells. Thus identical psychiatric diagnosis can be accompanied by distinct biological signatures and possibly differential response to treatment. This highlights the importance of the patient’s individual biography in defining disease subtypes.In the face of such studies should be asked how many children of JW are already born with genetic harm and psychiatric problems, because certainly such modifications are given further from one generation to the next.
A german magazin calls it a widespread disease in Germany. https://www.welt.de/gesundheit/psychologie/article152551577/Kindesmissbrauch-weiter-verbreitet-als-angenommen.html
And how in other poorer countries or cultures were it is even tolerated, where childabuse is not reported? In the face of the worldwide childabuse in all countries and all ages, how much genetic harm has been done, and how many psychiatric problem have been caused.
According to Rörig, abuse takes place everywhere: in families, in institutions, in digital media, in refugee shelters or through organized crime. The forms ranged from sexualized language to rapes, even from babies and micro-children.
Pedophilia inclination
Pedophilia inclination can be scanned.
Brothers who spare much time and look much on young sister or are accused of abuse could be sent by the elders to the doctor to get a scan on pedophilia. The GB members should exemplary make this scan.
Much research is been done on how a pedophilia inclination originates and how the brain of pedophiles functions. Is it that pedophilia is only one sexual specificity .
He described the results as a "milestone" in research. They showed that pedophilia can be recognized by brain reactions and is one of the possible manifestations of human sexuality. It would be a disease if people suffered from it or caused other harm. Then one must intervene.
Should not then the pedophe men be seen differently if the new research, and what are the consequences for the JW congregations?
Is pedophilia an illness or a sexual specification, a limitatble risk and not at all a crime per se , and only y crime if it is executed with or without violence?
And what about the commandments for the elders in the flock book?
Do JW treat pedophile inclination differently then violent criminale or is both the same sin.
Therapy
Pedophiles, these are not just adult men - even young people can feel sexually attracted to children. For her, there has been a special therapy offer at the Berlin Charité since 2014. The financing of the pilot project is now secured.

The most successful teaching of Jehovah's Witnesses and an amazing new book on the divine name
by slimboyfat injehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.
but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .
i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.

The idea of God having a personal name, is mainly owed to the hebrew cultural surrounding in the phase of development of jewish religion, it was a polytheistic surrounding. A name served back then as a distinction to other gods. The proper name expressed the attributes of this godhead is a second factor, the name YHWY doesnt only make it addressable but garantueed a certain closeness of God to his people. The event of the burning bush with the revelation of the name became the saga, which expresses the thought that God is merciful.
The loss of the original pronunciation is owed to an inner jewish process. Using the proper name today would be the same like celebrating again the polytheism and going back to a time when names distinced gods like in old Israel.The loss of the pronuncation is not due to a loss of attentiveness but a widening of the concept of god to a universal god.
The jewish community has in the course of the time become aware of the fact that there is only one God for all men and therefore supported that the personal name got less important. If this already began happening during the time when Israel was dispersed and in babylonian captivity is possible. When the hebrew scripture were translated into greek in the 2nd century before christ already "Kyrios" had replaced the proper name in the jewish world, also in the Qumran spricpures the personal name was replaced with "El", God.

this group of Christians to champion his name
In the whole hebrew spricptures the name stands for a person. So it doesn't turn about "to champion the pronuncation of the name" but about to champion Gods person. "Let your name be santified" could be spoken then also "You shall be sanctified."
It is the beginning of Jesus prayer, in which besides the kingdom, the will and on the first place the person of god should be the supreme value in the life of a christian.
So it is not by the usage or pronuncation of the tetragram that one can follow Christ but by giving the person of god the supreme place and thus honouring him.
The hebrew Tetragram YHWH itself cannot be the item of santification today because of another reason. The correct pronunciation of the tetragram in hebrew got lost and further it was not used at all in the New testamtent even in citations of the old testament.
"God's name is holy in itself; But we ask in this Praise that He will also be holy with us " ....in what we say and by what we do. Marin Luther
The treasure of usage of the name of God in the hebrew bible is that the name indicated God's presence (not to mix up with the invisible presence of Jesus since 1914) meaning that his "being here" or presence how it was experienced by men.
We ask God to sanctify His name. With this we ask for his presence, which his name promises. Through the book Ezechiel now we know what it means when God sanctifies his name. There we read that he will gather his people, clean it, and gives it a new heart and a new spirit. This all we ask for when praying "Let your name be santified."
‘I will certainly sanctify my great name which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned among them; and the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah, declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, ‘when I am sanctified among you before their eyes. .. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit inside you. I will remove the heart of stone from your body and give you a heart of flesh.
Ezechiel 36,23 + 26 NW
Again in the text you see that santification doesnt turn around the knowledge of pronuncation but turn around receiving a good spirit, a "spiritual discipline". Praying "Let your name be santified" means living so as one would hope for the presence of god.
"So even we (the people of god) can become a place in the world where the glory of God is visible for all."
from a text of Mag. Liss working at Institute of bible science and catolic privat university Linz in "Let your name be santified" https://www.dioezese-linz.at/dl/nMpuJKJLLLkNJqx4KKJK/135_Geheiligt_werde_dein_Name.pdf
