The Governing Body is unable to leave the mid 20th century. Either that or the Service Dept. keeps hiccuping. Either way the Witnesses are left to continually say the same old thing at the door: "I'm here because people are concerned about where this world is heading." (June 2015 U.S. Kingdom Ministry)

It goes on: "Do you think conditions will ever improve?"

What the householder is really thinking is: "Yeah, I hope things will improve and you stop bothering me with your religion."

There is a blindness in the Watchtower. They believe that to trample a territory to death is a good thing. They believe that to encourage more to pioneer in an area that is so overloaded with pioneers that everyone and their brother knows each householder and their views on religion is a good thing.

They believe that to force the publishers to work the same territory over and over and over several times in the same year is a good thing.

Who does this?

Robots. Robots in the Watchtower who are in fear of doing something intelligent lest it be struck down by the Governing Body!

What the Irish people do is their business. What Anthony Morris and his wife think about it is irrelevant!

OMG, I’m gonna get Old and Die.

by John Aquila in

when it finally clicked,.

and you realized there was no 1914, there was no generation that would see the end of a wicked system, there was no paradise around the corner, .

what went through you mind?.

Hold Me-Thrill Me

I'm not "gonna" get old, I am old. Do I expect to die? Yes. Do I hope to see my relatives again? Yes. Why? Because I do not believe this life is all there is. The Witness religion did not define my belief in God, I did not believe in God solely because I was a Witness. I believe in God because I have not closed my eyes to him. I have not turned my head away just because there are things about God I do not know or understand.

What this does is it keeps my mind and heart open to "seeing" God in the natural world around me. I do not have the cold feeling that all around me is there only because something called "natural selection" made it happen. That the love of a child toward its mother is just natural selection, the cold survival of the fittest. That the fragrance of flowers is just natural selection. That laughter is just natural selection. That the fact that, unlike the animals, my late wife could, and did, allow her hair to grow long and beautiful was just natural selection. That I can look up at the stars and the moon and enjoy their mystery and beauty just because of natural selection and so much more!

That natural selection made my body less able to defend itself than many of the lower animals. That I have no natural body armor or hide, no claws, no hind legs able to leap myself out of trouble. In a naked state I am quite vulnerable. I do not blend in as easily as many other animals. My teeth are not made to rip open the hide of cattle as easily as an animal predator. My hearing is not as good as many animals. My ability to smell is not as good. I am in almost all respects quite inferior and should not be around if my species from the beginning lived as the animals lived and had to fight as the animals fight.

Something happened that made us different. But here's the thing that "something" had to happen rather quickly. We were comparative pieces of defenseless meat naked in the jungle waiting for natural selection to finally provide us a brain good enough to allow us the ability to invent defenses we were not naturally born with? To have all the abilities that the animals have and more but not the physical; rather the mental capacity to invent a world in which we ourselves are the top dog without actually being a dog. And all this through natural selection which decided to keep the dog, a dog, but make the defenseless piece of flesh the superior animal mentally?

This would mean that natural selection decided to make the most physically UNFIT the top dog on earth. Survival of the fittest...Not!

Truly, in my opinion, the best answer is that we were created by someone who knew in advance what we would be and what we needed. Someone who did not need to wait for natural selection to slowly cause us to be able to defend ourselves with this very vulnerable body we call home.

Yes, I believe in God because it is logical, it makes sense.
