So, I walk into the kitchen this morning and there's an Auxiliary Pioneer application on the kitchen table. It's certainly not for me, I left well over a year and a half ago. My PIMI wife brought it home and I'm guessing she's gonna fill it out and submit it.

I don't get it. They've admitted that they have no idea when "the end" is coming. You don't have to turn in time anymore. They have no more magazines to hawk and have stated that when people see "Babylon the Great" start to fall they can join the organization. Many people gather together on a Saturday morning for a coffee clatch on Zoom, even though they're fully capable of full mobility, to write a letter, or two, it's ridiculous.

Must be a campaign coming up soon? They usually do that around September, right? I mean, why waste your time promoting an event that may never even come in your lifetime? Do they actually think that they can pile up points with Jehovah, or something? Like He can't read individual hearts and know in advance if someone is truly qualified to be in His "new system," and that He actually needs help to find "right hearted" people...it's an insult!

They rarely do door to door, anymore. The last 11 weeks that I went out in the Field Misery all anybody wanted to do was return visits. Maybe each one in the group had to do one fresh door, but after that it was Micky D's or Starbucks and a return visit on the way back to where you started.

Where is the incentive, anymore? Why do they waste their time? It's a charade!

Toward the end of the Israelites’ forty years of wandering, a situation occurred at Meribah Kadesh. Complaining about a lack of water for their livestock and themselves, the “people gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron. They quarreled with Moses and said, ‘If only we had died when our brothers fell dead before the Lord! Why did you bring the Lord’s community into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here? Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink!’” (Numbers 20:2–5). Appealing to the Lord at the tent of meeting, Aaron and Moses were told by God to speak to the rock, which would bring forth water (Numbers 20:6–7). Instead of demonstrating God’s glory and provision in speaking to the rock as the Lord had instructed, Moses struck the rock and claimed he and Aaron would bring forth water for the Israelites (Numbers 20:10–11). The Lord still kept His promise in providing water but told Aaron and Moses that they would not enter the Promised Land because of their failure to obey Him (Numbers 20:12). It is clear from the rest of Scripture that God tested the Israelites, including Aaron and Moses, at Meribah Kadesh to gauge their obedience and faithfulness (Psalm 81:7; 106:32).

^(Acts 15:28-29)  "For the holy spirit" and we ourselves have favored adding no further burden to you except these necessary things:  to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols, from blood,g from what is strangled,h and from sexual immorality. If you carefully keep yourselves from these things, you will prosper. Good health to you!”
