ACEofCADSix Billion Hearts Will Soon Stop Beating. . .


. . . announced our Circuit Overseer last night in his talk about the urgency to preach because of the times. Followed by a silence that was broken with ohhhs and ahhhs. He said that a couple of times throughout his part, simulating a beating heart with his fist.  I don't think that I have ever heard the message about the upcoming doom of nearly all life put quite like that.  His comments bothered me but what disturbs me more is that almost everyone there seemed all too happy about it.

I don't know, what do you all think.  Have you heard comments like that mentioned from the platform?

"It?s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)" by R.E.M. running through my head now.

I better get back to work

Just remind them it is their favorite Aunt Betty, their father, their mother, their nieces and nephews, all non-JWs.

I find they are happy when the dead are faceless.

How is that horrible? I mean after all they all have had a chance to become a Witness. They wanted to sleep at 9:30 on a Saturday morning and not heed God's call, well then they should die! Narrow and cramped is the road leading to becoming a Witness. Narrow your thinking and cramp your style...now we are talking!!!

Comments like the one the C.O. made disgust me!

That's truly sickening and the fact that people could actually take pleasure in the thought, look forward to such a thing and not question the logic of it really goes to show how brainwashed they are.  Whatever happened to the God is love concept?

When I was a JW I would have sat there like everyone else and now that I'm not it's crazy to see how stupid and heartless I was to think such things about fellow humans.

Why am I not surprised?

He probably got an "A" at CO School for that "illustration"; and the gestures! Outstanding!!!

But seriously, I'm surprised this is the first time you've heard such a cruel and outlandish declaration from the platform, and that it was received with just mass joy.

I've been at assemblies, where by mid-discourse, this guy would have been getting applaudED everY time this inference got repeated. SICKO

This type of theatrical over dramatization isn't anything new. Just, some are more talented....

My soon-to-be-baptised friend mentioned the fruitage of love amongst JWs.  I asked why he was grinning about the pope dying.  I asked how he could be happy to see his neighbours die at Armageddon, including those he really likes, and how he could reconcile this with loving ones enemies etc.

He said the Bible teaches we must show no compassion.  Where is this?  Surely quoted out of context?

This is why when I hear people say, "Oh, but the rank and file witnesses are such good people" I want to barf.

And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;
And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.

Funny their definition of the wicked "one" includes 6 million fellow human beings. Sounds like a grossly exaggerated personal opinion to me... The above scripture really seems to put the wicked one in singular terms to me. Could it have been speaking of Satan and not mankind in general? or could it have been speaking of another time - like way back when the Bible was written? Could it have been not necessarilly a literal but figurative statement? Hmmm... I wonder if the JWs even ask themselves these questions...
Show no compassion
Now that's brilliant! Very Godlike and Jesus was certainly a shining example of non-compassion, right? Sad... It sounds like your friend has bought there loveless doctrines hook line and sinker.

How genocidal of them!

Let's not forget what happened the last time a crazy person, with that type of thinking, came into power. Hitler

Apparently, they forget the people they are talking about are the people they go to work with, school, see out of their homes, any human alive! Disgusting and disturbing.

In the above verse, they use the singular for the wicked one , and plural for the meek ones

Does this mean that there will be more saved that destroyed?

sounds to me like this is the DEVIL himself, getting off in anticipation of the biggest genocide in History......yuck..I actually hope this guy has a heartattack tonight, but lives to repent for his comments.

That comment made me think of the move "Hotel Rwanda", which I recently went to see.  I cried my eyes out.  I think about that movie and then think the JWs want that to happen to the whole world, which does not correspond to their way of thinking.  It is truly scary to really sit back and think about what I used to believe.  And yet I would have cried back then watching "Hotel Rwanda" as well.  All the while not even thinking about the fact that the majority of those people were not JWs so they would eventually have been destroyed anyways - truly deluded.

That's how I see it through my rose colored glasses...  Personally, I choose to believe this scripture is speaking of Satan being destroyed and those who love God being saved.

jaffacake: He said the Bible teaches we must show no compassion.

In the account of destroying the Amalekites, applied very far out of context. The Israelites were instructed not to let their hearts show compassion. But they were never instructed to glee in the death of their enemies.
