watchtower on 1 July 2006, page 1926-1930
From time to time I hope to publish my thoughts on current articles to the study of the guards, or read other publications of the Watchtower Society. Starting as far as the actual magazine - as the title notes.
first doubt - already in the first paragraph - quoted Tertullian's "Let [children] become Christians, they are able to know Christ." This begs me to question - whether such a 1912-1916 year old child receiving baptism, and not really having a clue about what's going on around him is able to know Christ? In retrospect, looking at the behavior of his and other - at that age I know that this required (apparently) still a lot of mental maturity, they are missing.
second question - how can you read in third paragraph, "The Bible indicates that young children " are holy " in God's eyes, even when a Christian is only one parent." Sorry - can not understand something - but what about the sanctity in the eyes of such a wonderful and loving God Jehovah is what is the origin of such a child? But in the first paragraph (see above) talked about raising a person "to know Christ" - and thus - if such a child if his parents are not "Christian" (in the context of being a Jehovah's Witness, of course) in God's sight is not worth living?
third question - a little further in the third paragraph reads: "Of course children wchowywane by godly parents receive training so that over time, may voluntarily provide that also dedicate themselves to Jehovah." Small question - How many of you know young people who raised a family of Jehovah's Witnesses have not adopted the baptism? This is not about people who are baptized and then went away from this very "beautiful" (pff..) Organization.
fourth question - the sixth paragraph speaks of the criticism against "Christian parents" and how to educate their children. "Can someone criticize the parents that instill their children what they think is right and morally beneficial? No criticism of the atheists, for example, who teach their children that God does not exist. Catholics feel obliged to raise their children in the Catholic faith and they are not criticized for it. Just so no one should accuse Jehovah's Witnesses, that manipulate the minds of their children when they are trying to communicate basic truths and moral principles given by Jehovah. " So turn - What can be defined as "essential truth"? To tell the truth - in the baby's head is forced into such a quantity of information possessed by each elderly person in the congregation. In fact - children are not forced to do anything. At least this is not the official name of the function called "encouraging." Thus, "encouraged" to proclaim we are, reading, listening, smile, etc. but where is the encouragement to talk about what everyone really thinks of us? Next - why do immediately "without breaking" is given the main argument manipulate the minds of children ? How else could you describe to inculcate "the only right and true faith "to children from an early age, the assertion that everything outside the" Jehovah's organization "is wrong, call the" other " światusami and forbid the participation in public life - even silly fun and discos - under the guise of protecting against immorality, drugs, etc. . After all, if your child will want it sooner or later, and so something łyknie / burn. There must be a disco or school trip. With reference to the seventh paragraph, which posed the question: "What if the child objects to education as parents, as peer pressure is and wants act as they do? "I wanted to ask - why was mentioned only peer pressure? Why do most shit babra where the" Christian "youth is due to" peer pressure "? And what if these young people made a conscious decision and can now decide themselves what they think is right and wrong? If you do not want to go to meetings, I want to occasionally go out for a disco or a party that is to say that "the world absorbs me 'or' peers have a bad effect on me?"
fifth question - the eighth paragraph, last sentence of Timothy, his mother and grandmother: "Later, when they were chrześcijankami, that young man did not impose religious views, but argued it reasonable explanations based on God's Word, so you believed." Think logically - if he lived with his mother and grandmother, and they argued it so - Timothy poor had no choice - he had believed. You know what it is brainwashing? No? [click]
Sixth doubt - Paragraph ninth. The first sentence: "Jehovah created humans could so that it resembles a work - programmed to fulfill his will, unable to make another choice." None of you - talk with Jehovah's Witnesses never had the impression that whoever talked not - everyone says the same thing? "Older" argue that it is a "unanimity of the people of God" - but as for me, more of a carved, imprinted current rule that people hang on to hold.
So much of my doubts about the current "study of the guards."
that I would submit this blog is not carried out against Jehovah's Witnesses, and as a record of personal reflection on the teachings and behavior - I hope - conducted sound eye.
