SPECIAL TALK APRIL 2020.

[Patiently waiting for Truth]

My wife and i sat and watched this Special Talk on Sunday 5th April 2020

In honesty I thought it was a bit weak, but I suppose it was for 'people of the world', or was it to convince the congregants ?

However the stupidity of starting the talk with the idea of comparing to other religions and their morality. 

Come on, even some of you have said CSA is everywhere, in all religions. And divorce, and fornication. 

The CCJW is not seen as the clean religion standing out above other religions anymore. It is rather naive to think that the public find the CCJW cleaner or with higher moral standards. Or was it aimed at JWs ? Who really was he trying to convince? 

And the second failure was the 'picture of the GB etc'. The speaker makes the point that Jesus is the leader, which of course is good. But then he shows this picture of the GB and others as if the picture is from God. He was using scripture, great, but then this picture, as if it came from the same source. 

Anyone that was convinced by it must be very naive or lack intelligence. And the excuse cannot be that God and Christ use the less intellectual, because the Bible tells us to make sure of all things. The speaker did not use any scripture in relation to the picture, but tried to convince people that just because it was in that picture it must be true. How totally uninspired is that ?  A picture of Christ above the GB, above others in the CCJW. with no scriptural backing. 

And then he went on to ask 'How would you show how you accept Christ's leadership ? ' He follows this by quoting Matthew 16 v 24, to disown oneself and follow Christ. 

But that in no way proves that the CCJW are the way to go. It says to follow Jesus Christ. 

One last point, he mentions the Great Crowd 'described in Revelation' but once again NO scripture. 

A very poor talk with very little basis and even less scripture. It really showed a lack of God's Holy Spirit.
