Question From Readers, June 1 2007:
"Does Proverbs 22:6 guarantee that if Christian children are properly trained, they will not depart from
the way of Jehovah?"
Response: ".........generally speaking, this would be the result. What an encouragement this is to
parents!".
If you are a lurker here, you may not feel qualified to comment on controversies about translations
or chronology. However, to judge the above claim, you need look no further than your own
family or your own congregation. The fact is, that congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses are
undergoing a mass exodus of young people. The self-serving response of Watchtower leaders is
to avoid complete exposure of the problem - or , tragically, to quietly blame parents for the loss
by hiding behind the excuse that kids weren't "properly trained" - instead of honestly
admitting that the infrastructure of their organization is woefully inadequate to retain
Witness children.
And the results of this endlessly repeated deception?
Witness parents who sit in their bedrooms and secretly weep. More prescriptions for anti-depressant
medications. Witness kids who are disowned and shunned , often at the most critical time of their
lives, as to career or education. This deception sponsors an endless habit of guilt, to be eagerly
exploited by Watchtower leaders, as Witness parents condemn their children in their hearts.
When these Theocratic tyrants write this ugly nonsense, do they ever open their eyes and get
enlightment from their own publications? Do they notice the articles about Witness kids
"hooking up", leading "double lives", or secretly "texting" worldly boyfriends?
Does it ever occur to these cold hearted old men that they setting up people for cruel
failures in seeking an impossible task?
Answer: No! and the above reference shows you how these selfish men justify themselves.
