Re:New Site - 2005/03/10 22:05
Hi Donbodo! (check your messages  )
I had a look at the site and was most impressed. I truly hope it manages to help engender change. I think that is a distinct possibility. I'm sure many suffering JWs are very grateful that some have taken the time to so eloquently and yet tactfully put together such an appeal on their behalf to their rather negligent 'shepherds'.
I used to use the handle Isaiah 59:15 and in that and the surrounding verses I think we are given a clear indication of God's feelings regarding the course of simply sitting on ones hands and remaining silent in the face of injustice, which course of non-action some class under the oft used, catch all phrase "wait on Jehovah".
"There have been transgressing and a denying of Jehovah, and there was a moving back from our God, a speaking of oppression and revolt, a conceiving and a muttering of words of falsehood from the very heart. And justice was forced to move back, and righteousness itself kept standing simply far off. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and what is straightforward is unable to enter. And the truth proved to be missing, and everyone turning away from badness is being despoiled. And Jehovah got to see, and it was bad in his eyes that there was no justice. And when he saw that there was no man, he began to show himself astonished that there was no one interposing....."
The question is not alway, can change definitely be effected? The question is simply, is it right to try? To show willing? Of course!
Much Philia.
Phi.
