Invisible Rulership - one of the dumbest things I ever believed in

by Black Man in

having now been out of the cult for a few years, it really shocks me about some of the nonsense i used to believe in.

like for instance, christ ruling in the midst of his enemies, but doing so invisibly.. let's let that one sink in for a minute.

you've supposedly got a king who is ruling for a kingdom, but it is an invisible rule.

Japan had an invisible ruler for years, WW2..

The Bible is a funny book. Names

by James Mixon in

isaiah 8:1 the lord named this person"mahershalalhashbaz".. king of babylon 2 kings 20:12 "berodachbaladan or merodachbaladan".

king of assyria 1 chronicles 5:6 "tilgathpilnesar".

and then we have "do do" in 1 chronicles 11 :12. i never heard those names mention in the ministry school.. i wonder who had a hand in naming do do, satan or god..

Isaiah 8:1 The Lord named this person"Mahershalalhashbaz".

King of Babylon 2 Kings 20:12 "Berodachbaladan or Merodachbaladan"

King of Assyria 1 Chronicles 5:6 "Tilgathpilnesar"

And then we have "Do Do" in 1 Chronicles 11 :12

I never heard those names mention in the Ministry School.

I wonder who had a hand in naming Do Do, Satan or God.

My God, British empire vs Guatemala, please.

One night a British soldier walked into the KH. He was raised a JW and he wanted

to return to Jehovah. He was in the process of trying to get out of his military obligations.

I don't know how it works in the British military, but here in the states it's not easy.

Since we lived across the way from the British fort in the city of Cayo, we talked a bit.

I felt sorry for the young man, he was in a bad way mentally.

They shipped him back to Britain and he wasn't sure if he would have to do jail time.

I always wonder what happen to that young man.

How many ships have you passed in the night, and you wonder what happen to that person.

When I speak of ships you passed, in JW world.

When Britain sent their Harrie jets over the conflict was over.
