Another good one, Snare.
You hit the nail on the head. WT head.
Did I pray to the Israelite God of War YHWH for his War of Armageddon to come soon for my own selfish reasons???
Yes.
Did I realize, in saying that prayer, I was begging God to destroy BILLIONS of people, like JW.org taught me?
Ahh ... Here is where it gets fuzzy.
Carrot on the stick to all Jehovah's Witnesses featured on the coming Sunday 2014 Convention talk.
"What animals would you like to have in paradise?"
"How do you imagine paradise to be?"
"Apparently, possibly we will all be speaking Hebrew."
"Imagine yourself in your new home by the beach, with white sands and palm trees".
"Possibly your new home will be in the mountains, by a lake, with a waterfall".
Blaw, blaw, blaw, blaw.
The JW.org speaker reading off a manuscript prepared by the Writing Dept, signed off by the Legal Dept, speaks soothing words of comfort, to little innocent sheep who had already been listening to the speaker say how very wicked this world is. How vile the people are. He tells the eager listeners, what they have been brain washed to believe. This wicked world must be destroyed and we Jehovah's chosen people are the only ones who will survive!
So like the Gambler above, he thinks he is going to "get" something. He put his time in, he put his money in.... He doesn't want to leave.
Watch Tower, JW.org is all based on greed and lies. Please wake up Sheeples. Do not waste your time on GB servitude.
I am sorry to tell you. There is no Armageddon coming. It is a scare tactic.
If you are still "in" and you pray to God, do you ask for Armageddon to come?
Do you understand for you to get your "pay off" (if it were real, which it is not) BILLIONS of good men, women and children would have to die???
