Who do the Jehovah's Witnesses follow?

They follow the followers of Jesus.  The Governing Body claim they are the ones who Jesus has given the privilege of telling the people what God's will is for them, each one of them.  Jesus is The Word.  The Word is to be obeyed.  So it follows that they who teach us the word's meaning are they who follow Jesus.  Are you following me?  [haha].

So today I had a wonderful EVIL thought.  Do you want to know it?   

I am wishing for some contact

I wonder if it is feeling the same as those crazy people who can't wait for some contact from outerspace. There was Danny Hazard who use to comment and that was nice but he is gone and I wonder where he is. Sometimes I get a reply on the forum but most of the time it falls flat and I get the feeling I am wasting time. So I am posting because somehow by posting I get somewhat of a response that comes by way of views. In case you do not know what views are I will tell you.  There is a stats page that comes with blog.  There I can see a number which corresponds to people looking in. There is no way to know if the post has been read or liked or not liked because there are no comments.  Another thing blog has is a map of where the views are coming from.  I think it is weird and wonderful that someone is viewing it from Russia.  If someday someone might view me from Africa, that would be even more wonderful, wouldn't it?  

8 views and I didn't even post! ? !!

Haha.  I have not figured this out yet.  I posted absolutely wonderful logic on the forum but it seems to be in the process of being ignored.

I was thinking of duplicating it here when oh look!  eight views.  I wonder who you'll are?

But the plants and the buttons keep nagging at me.

And it's all true.

Like a thief in the night

How does Jesus come "like a thief in the night"?  [Maybe You can pretend I am a man]..........

"In the night" means people are sleeping.  I think that is the popular opinion about that.  Sleeping means only seeing things from one perspective, your own.  It is possible to see things as things are.  A person cannot do it when sleeping.

Why is Jesus compared to a thief?  People say it is because he comes unaware, like a thief does.

I shall say it is because his coming is associated with a loss.

I had been listening to some former Jehovah's Witnesses who had been raised Jehovah's Witnesses and I am hearing them say the life they might have chosen was stolen.  Did Jesus steal it?  No.  The Jesus Jehovah's Witnesses teach stole it. I am only aware of the Jehovah Witness doctrine so to be fair I will say they are not alone as thieves.  There are other doctrines that steal people's minds away from The Spirit and The Truth.

I am thinking about eating crow

This is me being mad at Ebay.  I stipulated on an Ebay community help board for discussion that I was done with Ebay because of Ebay's formula for finding items. What I found is my items were assigned a place on the Best Match List, which is the list everyone sees first when logging in, and my items stayed in that same place all week.  Even though thousands of items came to their completion before mine did, the spot they got at first was the spot they stayed in all week.  It doesn't seem fair.  So...I went over to Etsy.  But I do not want to learn a new formula.  And it being summer time and fewer people are browsing the internet to buy things, I have not listed for sale any buttons.

Does anyone want to see some more button pictures?

I feel moved to talk about peace and security

Peace can be likened to what life will be like in paradise.
Security can be likened to the promises of safety made to some people.

When the nations speak of "security" in relation to peace, they mean by means of control they will protect the peace.

Who is promising a peaceful new system of things?
Who is promising that if you do things right, their way, God will protect you at Armaggedon?

How then is "destruction instantly upon them" then?

First of all I'd like to say the New World Translation Bible adds a word here at 1 Thessalonians 5:3.  It reads "sudden destruction will be instantly upon them".

What I suppose destruction be upon them means is this:  They say Jehovah though Jesus (Prince of Peace) will come to destroy the wicked.  Who are they? The wicked are all the people who ignore the good news that the Jehovah's Witnesses preach.  They will not admit they teach that to believe the Jehovah's Witness way is to choose security which leads to peace in paradise Earth.  They will say only Jehovah know who will survive God's wrath.  They are really believing in the death of their fellow citizens of Earth. In fact there are recordings of the governing body member  explaining to the crowd there will be many dead even "billions".

It is written at Matthew 5:28 that a man looking lustfully at a woman is committing adultery.  Can the same be said of a person convinced in their heart in the rightness of an execution?  I think the same law applies.  Believing a person will die if the condemned person does not do what is right (according to the one judging) is like murder, just like the thought of adultery is adultery.  The thought of killing is killing.

Bear with me please.

When Cain killed his brother Abel he begged for his life.  Jehovah allowed him to live.  But a sign was placed on him.  THAT is what "is upon them".

Why does it say "sudden".  I think it is because it comes with believing.  It does not develop over time.  When a person becomes convinced of the (false) promise of security and the death of  the others they get the mark.

So my alter ego is paranoid

I'm thinking the auction is doing monetarily well for one of two reasons.  Reason one is someone on the eBay forum wants to prove me wrong.  Thanks!  The other reason is someone must buy my buttons that don't match best match so she might find me to shut me up.  I'm scared.
