Debator/Reniaa:
Finally, a verse we can agree upon:
Acts 20:28-30 (New International Version) 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. [a] Be shepherds of the church of God, [b] which he bought with his own blood. 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.
Why? Because this verse describes the leaders of the WatchTower to a "T". Think about this, Christendom even though divided on some doctrines, has largely been one big melting pot of Christianity. Then, POW!!!! Mormons, Millerite Movement, Second Adventist Movement, 7th Day Adventists, and good 'Ol CT Russell come along. CT takes the Millerite/Barbour stuff and runs with it, and then throws in a helping of occult pyramidology just to mix it up a little bit, then BAM!!! What do we have? Bible Students!! Then, ol Judge Rutherford steals the show and pushes his own agendas well....followed up by Knorr and then good ol' Freddy Franz (AKA The Oracle). Today's Governing Body is much the same, not giving a shit about the flock, just beating them down until morale improves. Oh my yes....what FINE Shephards of Biblical Prophecy and TRUTH they all have been!!!!!!
Do tell us, can you name even ONE "prophecy" that these con-men have said in the past that has come TRUE, just ONE????? I'll get ya started......1874, 1879, 1899, 1914, 1918, 1925, 1975, This Generation, etc, etc, etc.
How old are you I wonder?? I am 31, and I can tell you that growing up in the 1980's I was PROMISED, gaurunteed that I would NOT grow old and die in "this wicked system of things" and that "The Generation of 1914 surely will not die until The End comes....." Not only was this started as absolute TRUTH, but it was used as PROOF of the imminent time of The End that we were living in at the DOORS back in the 1980's, early 1990's.
Being lied to over and over again from the platform, in the magazines, by my parents, by CO's, DO's, Governing Body for the first half of my life has taught me that eating from such a spiritually rotten banquet of SHIT does NOT taste good, no matter how much they claim it does!!!
My question to you is, do you enjoy partaking of such spiritual fecal matter over and over again??? Does it taste goooooood?? See, I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't.
Why are you hear again? Your OverLords have forbidden this. You should turn yourself into your local Elder Body post-haste.
