Refugees-Will They Ever Find a Home..Awake 1.22.02

Poor Refugees....

The article says.....

....they [JW's] realise that the complete solution to the refugee problem lies with God's appointed King, Jesus Christ. He certainly understands how easily hatred and violence can destroy people's lives......When that day dawns, nobody will ever need to become a refugee. And everyone will have a place to call home.

Yes the real solution to the refugee problem is Armaggeddon when God's king, who knows all about hatred and violence, will destroy 99% of mankind. Indeed the refugees will have a place to call home, they will have an everlasting resting place!

Listen here, you shamefaced Watchtower apologist, you do not fool me one bit.

ISP, why so shamefully try to whitewash Jehoobah's carefully planned genocide?

Again we ask, what is the motive of these critics of the apostate cause? Are they encouraging wakefulness on the part of the anti- movement, or are they, rather, trying to justify themselves for falling back into sleepy inactivity? (1 Thessalonians 5:4-9) More importantly, what will you do if you hear such a whitewash?

So, the truly consecrated child of Christ class must ask: at whose table are you feeding, ISP?

ISP,

Regarding refugees, is there any mention of the practical work of the WTS? Any mention of Aidafrique by any chance?

Such involvement can never have God's approval and blessing, as amply demonstrated by men's repeated failures in trying to improve the world. Men's efforts might be compared to removing water from a sinking ship with a spoon. Watchtower 10/15 1972

Seems like a good excuse to do nothing, eh? Whatever happened to the words in the book of James about caring for widows and orphans? (Jas 1:27) Wasn't that the "worship that is clean and undefiled?"

Perhaps they should revisit their articles about the justification of destroying entire populations of countries not favorable to the work of Jehovahs Witnesses as "social responsibility" in which they say that because people "choose" to support opposer governments, Jehovah is justified in slaughtering their sorry arses at Armageddon.

Has there been a mass conversion of Afghans that I havent heard about? Otherwise WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE FOOLING BY SAYING ALL THESE PEOPLE WILL HAVE HOMES??? dipshits

Thirdson asked:

Well, I don't see any direct references. But on page 4 it is explained how the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees divides "impoverished wanderers into two groups." And on page 6 is found the following paragraph, which appears to obliquely refer to the AidAfrique work:

When over two million people fled one African country in 1994, the hastily built refugee camps inevitable lacked water and proper sanitation. As a result, an outbreak of cholera killed thousands before it was finally brought under control. To make matters worse, armed combatants mixed in with the civilian refugees and quickly took over the distribution of relief items. This problem was not unique. "The presence of armed elements amongst refugee populations has exposed civilians to increased risks. It has made them vulnerable to intimidation, harassement and forced recruitment," states a United Nations report. [italics and bold mine]

On page 7 the UN High Commissioner for Refugees is quoted again, and on page 12 a former UN High Commissioner for Refugees as well as United Nations secretary-general, Kofi Annan, are quoted.

And just before the concluding paragraph which ISP quoted, we find this:

"Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed," states the preamble of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. Our Creator well knows that a change of thinking is needed. ... -- Isaiah 11:9[bold mine]

Let's see -- a 3 month lead time for Awake! Oct. 9 -->Nov. 9 = 1 month; Nov. 9 --> Dec. 9 = 2 months; Dec. 9 --> Jan. 9 = 3 months.
By the time the news filtered through a Jan. 22 Awake! could have been printed and sent on its way to the congregations...

Imagine the KM giving a suggested presentation like this:

"Good morning. We're calling on our neighbours to enlist your support in a community project to house and feed refugees....."

Can't imagine it?

Can't imagine the WTS obeying James 1:27 "The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation...."

Notice how the text reads: "from the standpoint of our God and Father". Seems this is not from the standpoint of Crooklyn.
