    Imagine this talk being given at all congregations:

    "Jehovah God has always used men to do His will. He used Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to usher the birth of a nation, but there was alot more work involved. We see in the Bible how Jehovah God cleansed the lands from impurities that did not agree with His will. How was this done? Through the righteous command of Jehovah God, he instructed his faithful followers to kill those who were not of His organization. We learn from the examples given through many scriptures in the Old Testament. It was by the will of Jehovah God that the lands were made clean for His people. Is it any different today? Should we listen to the spiritual instructions of Jehovah?

    Let's take King Saul for example. Saul was instructed by the prophet Samuel to wait for him for seven days before attacking, but Saul did not heed the words from Jehovah's appointed prophet. Saul started preparing for battle by offering sacrifices; when Samuel does finally arrive he criticises Saul for not waiting and curses him to fall from Jehovah God's favor. Samuel as having instructed Saul to kill all the Amalekites. Having forewarned the Kenites living among the Amalekites to leave, Saul went to war and won against the Amalekites, but only killed all the babies, women, children, poor quality livestock and men, leaving alive the king and best livestock.

    When Samuel finds out that Saul has not killed them all, he becomes angry and launches into a long and bitter diatribe about how Jehovah God regretted making Saul king, since Saul is disobedient. When Samuel turns away, Saul grabs Samuel by his clothes tearing a small part of them off, which Samuel states is a prophecy about what would happen to Saul's kingdom. Samuel then commands that the Amalekite king should be brought forth. Samuel proceeds to kill the Amalekite himself and makes a final departure.

    Is it no different today? We must listen to the appointed Faithful and Discreet Slave of Jehovah God's spiritually directed organization. Would we not take up the sword in the name of Jehovah to do His will? Yes, we should. Even today, the world is filled with those like the Amalekites who are no different than the "worldly" and "apostate" non-believers of Jehovah organization. Will we obey the righteous commands that come from God's appointed organization? YES! Soon, Jehovah will give His command for his faithful footstep followers to take action to cleanse the land to make ready for His divine purpose that we, as faithful Jehovah's Witnesses can LIVE FOREVER ON A PARADISE EARTH!"

    Would this be unrealistic?

    Imagine the scene. A bunch of wide-body goofy men... a few desperate single-sisters and a passle of geeked out teenage kids wearing knock -off Italians suits and cheap shoes.

    Picture that crew all "Rambo-ed" up. 99% of the JW world would piss their pants if they had to kill somebody in an "up close" and personal way.

    I do know a few slimey JW types who would poison you if they were asked. Weasels.

    TMS would be target practice and IED construction training.

    Never happen. The GB is quite happy to maintain a passive audience for literature distribution. War is disruptive to literature distribution.

    hillbilly:

    Don't underestimate the Governing Body. If they say the congregations can count time during the bloody rampage - you'll be eattin' those words. Imagine getting extra time for every body count you turn in? Nine hours for nine kills! That's motivation, my brother!

    My belief is that it will never happen. Even IF it would happen, There are too few JWs to get the job done. Plus WE could defend ourselves from such attacks and ultimately rid the Earth of JWs in the cause of self-preservation.

    Fortunately we have moles in the organization that would alert us of any such plans so that we could make a pre-emptive strike.
