“BU2B”:
“ Its funny, although the congregatgion was "cleansed" in 1919, an examination shows almost no doctrines were changed from 1914 to 1919. Use of the cross, holidays, birthdays, blood transfusions, etc continued. Wrong dates persisted, like Christ coming in 1874/1878, last days starting in 1799 etc. ”
That’s a damn good point! Jehovah and Jesus were supposed to have done a significant cleansing of the earthly part of their spiritual temple in 1919, ‘doing a cleansing and whitening,’ ‘refining them as silver,’ ‘smelting away the scummy dross as with lye,’ ‘doing a refining work,’ ‘like the fire of a refiner and like the lye of laundrymen’ (somewhat paraphrased), which is referring to the process of smelting silver and gold to purify them. – See Isaiah 1:25; 60:17; Daniel 11:35; Zechariah 13:9; and Malachi 3:2, 3.
It looks to me, however, like Jehovah forgot to empty the old dirty water out of Jesus’ cleaning bucket and replace it with clean, soapy, warm water. When you look at all the foolishness around for such a very long time after 1919, I don’t think Jesus would be asked again to go on that cleaning job. If that’s the way he cleans, maybe he should be put on landscaping duty.
(Secret hint: it’s all, as the English would say, a whole lot of bollocks!)
