Oslo 08.11.93

Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

Attention: Governing Body

25 Columbia Hights, Brooklyn

N.Y. 11201,

USA

This letter is to be read at the first full meeting of the Governing Body.

Thanks for your prompt reply to my letter of 30.09.93. Yes, We know it's not an official answer, and that it is anonymous, but so are all letters from you. It is refreshing to know that there are more and more people in Brooklyn that share our view. We had no plans to write to you so soon again but we became so exited by your reply that here we are.

Since our last letter you have really reached new hights in the Watchtower. We are thinking of the article about how important it is to be humble. Especially did your examples of humble persons in the Watchtower organizations history bring us much amusement and laughter. Choosing J. F. Rutherford as an example of a humble person, show that you really must have big problems finding any candidates. It's much like, if the Italians should search their history for humble persons and come up with Mussolini as their most illuminating example. You would probably agree that the first sign of a really humble person would be that he formed a religious opinion, then went on and lambasted every person that disagreed with him by calling them evil, false, servants of the devil etc., condemning them to eternal death for not sharing his view's.

It is sad to notice that you have learned nothing from the relationship Moses had with Jehovah. Moses pleaded with him not to destroy Israel and he listened to Moses.

The Organization, i e the presidents of the Organization has all the time pleaded with Jehovah to destroy the whole humanity. Russell wanted him to do it in 1914, Rutherford wanted him to do it in 1918, 1920 and 1925, he even went so far as to say that all these dates were set by Jehovah himself. The late Fred Franz had a go at it in 1975. Jehovah was clearly not interested in any of these dates because he of course has his own plans, and your ridiculous Organization with all its dates and zig zag teachings is not a part of those plans.

This is also how you yourselves show how humble you are. First you try to put all your past mistakes regarding your bold time prophecies behind you with completely feeble excuses like: "We have never presented this as the word of Jehovah, we have never claimed to have got any direct revelations from Jehovah. We where just to eager to see Jehovah's promises fulfilled. We made mistakes. We are only human". In the December 1 1993, Watchtower you say in § 5 That honesty helps us to be humble when we has made mistakes. That we should not try to justify ourselves or put the blame on someone else. When are you finally going to start follow your own advice?

If you really meant anything by these words maybe you should exercise some humility before you go out and demand that all faithful Witnesses should hate people who don't agree with you on all these issues, and who knew that all of your time prophecies where false long before you admitted to this fact. Oh, what a convincing display of humility. Its really hilarious and ridiculous.

Of course we understand the purpose of the article. You want everybody in the organization to be humble towards you as their leaders. Like any politburo or dictator you want humble people as your subjects. Humble in the sense that they never think for themselves, never vents any independent opinion, never questions what you say no matter how ridiculous. In short parrots and puppets. You want to be puppetmasters.

We liked your little story about John Greenleaf Whittier. Its a pity that you don't have neither the ability nor the will to understand any of it because when it comes to spelling, not to mention calculating, almost anybody does it better than you. No doubt that is the reason you hate them and want everybody in your little private flock to hate them as well.

Your guided tour trough the Watchtower Organizations hierarchical system in § 12, is quite illuminating and interesting. It is also correct right up to the point where the so-called "faithful and discreet slave" comes in because both Christ, and Jehovah has always been subjected to that slave. The self-appointed "slave" namely you, is subjected to no one, You have put yourself on the throne of God, and to all intent and purpose claims to be God the Almighty. How humble!

We also notice that you continue your pathetic campaign on "signs" of the end. Your ridiculous ranting on how much worse everything has become since 1914 is starting to show signs of desperation now that it is beginning to dawn on even the most feebleminded that the 1914 "generation" is long since dead. We know that you have been aware of this for a long time already, but now even your humble subjects is starting to understand it. In view of this it is quite understandable that you need to cheer them up with some carefully selected quotations to show them how "near" the end is. It will be quite interesting to see if you can keep them on their toes another hundred years with more of the same silly nonsense and double talk.

Well, much as we would like to stay and chat with you guys we got to go now, we have an appointment with one of your traveling overseers tonight, he seem to have some interesting things to relate to us, and no doubt need to clear his conscience on a few points. From what we could gather on the phone it is pretty juicy stuff. Oh, by the way we are working on a new exiting book about what takes place within your spiritual paradise. We are convinced it will be a real smasher. It will probably tickle you guys pink too, when you get your hands on it. Its going to be riveting read for you, so you can start to look forward to it right now if you want. Everybody needs something to look forward to, something to cheer them up. We know that you haven't got much good going for you in the future so we thought this might buck you up somewhat. Well, that's all for now. Regards to all you humble people at the humble headquarters of the humble organization

who humbly point out in their humble literature that all people that do not share their humble opinion will be slaughtered by a humble God in the near future. What a stunning and utterly convincing display of humility.
