Aloha my beloved brother Jah-son!Soul,
I agree with your sentiments. We should be grieved to see what has happened to our dear friends who are ultimately Jahs sheep whom he paid a high price for.
I have trouble grieving for the org because I feel that at least some at the top know full well what they are doing and don't care at all. That infuriates me! And those who are just going along to get along are not much better. I know that many honest, concerned brothers have written to Bethel with concerns and documentation proving the dangers of the injections early on. The GB obviously arrogantly ignored those warnings, leading the entire association of brothers into lethal danger. That is despicable.
As I've stated before in other threads, many of the friends in my area expressed strong concerns with the injections when they were first introduced. I'm convinced that they would have refrained from accepting if not for the GB updates. I personally know 3 families ( mine included ) who were not swayed by the propaganda. We did our research and held our ground and happy we did. Everyone had the opportunity and responsibility to research for themselves. The information was out there all along. It was accessible and easy to find. Just took a bit of discernment.
I've come to the conclusion, that if one is too lazy to search and prefers to delegate that responsibility to others, then one deserves to deal with the consequences of such laziness. This is the sad situation of most JW's today. They are simply lazy and asleep, under the hypnotic spell of the GB. That is a willful choice in most cases due to the Bibles clear, repeated warnings to the contrary.
As for the GB's update announcing their error in strongly recommending the now discredited AZ and JJ concoctions, don't hold your breath. But I would "strongly recommend" that you write them a letter asking these vital questions. They need to be confronted with these facts.
Speaking of letters, I finally took my wife's advise and did just that. A 5 page letter was sent last week including the very questions you posed about the discredited AZ and JJ products and when we should expect an apologetic update. Do you think Ill get a reply? My wife is confident that they care deeply and will respond. I'm not holding my breath and she may be in for a surprise when it backfires and I end up in the cry room with the Elders with some "splaining" to do..time will tell.
Great Post!! I just want to address the last paragraph regarding the letter and whether or not you will get a reply. It is my limited opinion that the committee member who reads your letter will reply out of general courtesy, but the response will be without any remorseful language, not even a slight hint of admission of guilt. I say that, not out of greedy antagonistic arrogance or extreme cynicism on my part, considering my level of rage toward the GB at the moment. I am saying it out of the knowledge of the prophecies as contained in the Bible which simply do not state anything about the Org having any attitude of repentance whatsoever. So, in the most plain spoken language possible, based solely on the written prophetic word, you will NOT receive a reply with an apologetic tone in it. Your wife, God love her, is unfortunately being hopeful but is wrong in her assumption that they "care deeply". I wish I was wrong. Strong work bro in writing them a letter! That is super awesome!!
