"FOR JEHOVAH WILL RISE UP JUST AS    
AS AT MOUNT PERAZIM".  (Isaiah 28:21).

JEHOVAH DIRECTS ME TO "GO AROUND
TO THE REAR OF THEM".  (2 Samuel 5:23).

TO EXPOSE THEIR DUNGY IDOLS,
I AM GOING "AROUND TO THE REAR OF THEM".
On the 4th of August a man of stammering tongue brought to me a book entitled: 'VISIONS OF GLORY     A history and a memory of Jehovah's Witnesses' by Barbara G. Harrison who for many years had been a proof reader for the Watchtower Committee at their headquarters.

While I denounce this woman for attempting to teach from the scriptures in her book (the God given prerogative of chosen men), she has nevertheless attempted to faithfully describe some of her personal experiences while among the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses. (The quotations from her book that follow will be in this bold typeface).

Her observations describe her frustration and dismay at the unbearable coldness of members of this sect, particularly prevalent among their unqualified so-called 'elders', a trait which still permeates 'that stale, dry religion (which was a form of servitude)'. (Pg.222).

In the pages that follow there are quotations from her observations which characterize the hard hearted dispositions of the members of this sect who are lacking in natural affection. These dispositions I too encountered while in the company of their so-called 'elders', their families at congregation meetings, and while preaching with them from house to house. To endure incessant cold-heartedness while at the same time preaching the love of God saddens and contorts the human spirit until it becomes unbearable. It was the primary reason why this woman finally and wisely escaped from them.

By going "around to the rear of them", I am fulfilling the spiritual counterpart of King David when he went around to the rear of his enemies at Mount Perazim: "Jehovah has broken through my enemies ahead of me, like a gap made by waters." (2 Sam 5:20). For their dungy idol overseers will be swept away by the flooding torrent that is the Spirit of the Lord's Judgement, for they are a people who have "gone astray in their seeing" and do not have the love of God among them.  (Isaiah 30:27,28 & 28:7).  So I am going "around to the rear of them" to recall their behaviour and activities.

The author confessed that: '...God didn't live in my religion... He lived somewhere else (not in my heart).' (Pg. 201). More light was thrown on this subject when she witnessed the following events: A congregation member called Mike, who had a weak heart, was talking about his delight in being able to go preaching from door to door again, when suddenly he clutched his chest and began to gasp for air. He was dying of a heart attack. A respected 'elder' from Watchtower* headquarters who was there, instead of helping him, launched into an interminable story about the people he had known who had been taken unaware by death. '"I knew someone else who died like that," he said, looking at Mike.' (Pg.201). Another 'elder', whose concern was 'how to keep Mike's daughter from "going overboard with immoderate grief"' said to her: '"See if you can take Mike's daughter out preaching with you tomorrow morning... It'll keep her mind from selfishness."' (Pg.202). This so-called 'elder' had no compassion and yet they appointed him* to shepherd a congregation of God?  Really?  With this in mind, please read 1 Corinthians 13:1  3 and 1 Peter 5:1  3.

Even The Christ answered those who questioned him, but the dungy idols (so-called 'elders') of this sect view such questions as a threat to their authority: 'Nobody ever told me that all believers doubt, or that the logical consequences of the possession of free will is to question'. (Pg.202). I too discovered that so-called JW 'elders' regard searching questions as totally unacceptable. They said that it would 'undermine the authority of the local body of elders'.  (See Page 847 of  The Opened "Little Scroll").
