You can [not] trust the Brothers, wt study this week

by waton in

for the lucid lurkers: # 37. the article's examples really show, that among the 'name people' only 50 % of rank and file, and none of the leaders can be trusted all the time.

but, shut up and put up.. eli and hannah, eli's sons committed gross sins, raping/ seducing woman visitors to the temple, for years, yet naive worshippers are to trust their brothers, even with their children ?

hannah wanted to get pregnant, so she went to the temple where Eli and his sons were at service. Not surprisingly, her wish was granted.

as was pointed out to me, Hanna did eventually have a natural son with her husband, who was not selectively infertile. I did not want to besmirch the bible character "Hanna" with her story similar to "Sarah's"

Are the wt writers suggesting, that the friends are to send their wives and daughters, sons into service, projects, the "Houses of God" knowing that, following the "things written beforehand " criminals* are lurking there?

* anybody disfellowshipped, put on "probation", reproof, is convicted of a crime, an offence against "divine" law.

The family has actually experienced these sexual crimes happen from/among the wt "appointed servants".

I want to correct that claim by amending it to mean the more general context of the biblical moral code.

But, getting back to the here and now, what I mentioned is what’s happening in the damn religion in RECENT times.

Long Hair Girl, In my active 65 years I have never seen a congregation that you describe, where the needy are looking for handouts. or the congr. offer it. Here, In recent times, the local wealthy benefactors have taken care of the decommissioned District- and retired Circuit Overseers that had to re-locate,

Local financial predators, including wtb&ts. inc, mainly target the naive and old retirees, selling them resurrection certainty.

Article 37 dealt with the ancient examples of abuse by the elite and the good putting up with it. and as I said twice: The family has actually experienced these sexual crimes happen from/among the wt "appointed servants".

wt wants that to happen without demurring in your here and now and their future (if any).

P.S. for my age I am very active.

Fnm LHG, your fascination with currencies is understood, but . Note that

the hidden bad apples in the wt article were far more dangerous, David destroying families, killing thousands with his policies,

The Levite Eli, sheltering rapist and seducers that prayed on the worshippers coming to the temple. No amount of money could repair those sins, that should have ben nipped in the bud, terminated, by executing the culprits asap.

Wt holding them up as heroes. presiding in right manner. Blaming the deity by allowing it, in tacit approval.

Blue Brother, exactly, wt writers conditioning the followers to accept as normal bigger disappointments to come.

"strain the gnat and swallow the camel."

the wt article makes you worry about two friends of David but hides the fact that as a major player in the "brothers" lives, he ruined the lives of every married man's family hopes , that he could his hands on.

David, a great warning example for Jws future, and a lived experience. Think of the missing piles of files in the congregations.

comments you did not hear at the meeting: -- but should have.

hannah wanted to get pregnant, so she went to the temple where Eli and his sons were at service. Not surprisingly, her wish was granted.

begs the question why did the Almighty tolerate that debauchery, rapes or seductions for years?

These were capital punishment crimes. so,

why would you want to trust that same continued organisation any more now?

At least in Hanna's day they had true miracles to back their claim of divine approval.

to summarize: In the wt examples: you could trust half of the lowly ones, but not the leaders. i.e.

Eli and his sons, David.

you can not trust the spiritual food, it could have, as admitted, given you food poisoning before, ( think back to 1975).

Analyze the gist of this article to the full. wt writing is not always dull; full of hidden truth and meaning.
