I have been struggling over a decision about evil for some time. I went from thinking the wbts uses too much old testament laws to the old GB guys were stuck in old beliefs that will change to wondering if there is an evil intent here.
This revolved not so much regarding dogma such as trinity-hell-jesus is michael etc. The things I am thinking about were rules enforced by threat of df'd or da'd. Pedophilia is a sin in jw eyes as it should be. If elders do not do all that is reasonable to act to protect their cong. Such as report to police in ALL cases-leave victims free to tell others if they wish-remove those who confess or are tried and convicted. Incourage victims & parents to seek any help they may wish. Put their entire focus on helping the abused. Are the elders sinning in gods eyes. Since they do or do not do these things at the behest of the wbts or GB if the elders are sinning then the wbts is a co conspiritor and is even more guilty since they instituted these requirements on the elders. At what point do continued sinful acts rightfully reveal evil. Are the elders and more importantly the wbts since they imposed these actions on the elders an evil organization. Then does this indicate that Satan is in some way involved in these actions.
I have the same dilema when I consider the disallowing of transplants and the deaths this caused and then later allowing them with out even an apology. Who is to take responsibility for these needless deaths? Did the wbts and the GB sin when they forbid this? Is there some evil involved here?
Again the dilema when I consider the blood transfusion issue and how at first no blood what so ever. How many children and adults died at this point? Then a relaxed approach again without any apology letting gradually more and more blood factors be acceptable in the eyes of the wbts. Are these needless deaths the result of sinning on the part of the wbts and is there an evil issue here? We are told by the wbts that jehovah observes all things and that wrong doing will be punished and that outright evil is even worse.
My question is " I am beginning to wonder if there is an outright connection between the wbts and satan" Are they doing the will of satan? What do you think on this point?
Please don't give me that crap about light getting brighter. If transplants are not a sin now they never were a sin. Its obvious to me that this rubbish is about the errors of men and do not try to involve God in your mistakes. Honest mistakes are one thing. But imposing rules that cost inocent lives and then voiding the rule is to cause needless deaths without any justification . Is this negligent homicide? Homicide in the first degree? It certainly is homicide of some sort.
Can a group of old men "the governing body of jehovah's witnesses" be so deluded that they are completely ignorant of this? Do they not have any grief over what they have caused? I can't help but believe that they are well aware of these needless deaths and they do not care a wit.
We could continue this into the destruction of marriage-family structures and relationships-suicides due to depression caused by disfellowshipping and on and on. Are they imune to the normal human grief and guilt over all these things. Or is satan involved? Tell me what do you think?
