I am not going to read the Governing Body thread any longer. But I shouldn't say, but I will, the participants seem to think they know what they are talking about and they don't even know the truth about what is written in The Bible about "too many words".

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
James 3:6-10 ESV / 9 helpful votes
And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Romans 16:18 ESV / 8 helpful votes
For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive

It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.
Ecclesiastes 5:3 ESV / 7 helpful votes
For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with many words.

What Does the Bible Say About Words?

I am sure that the Jehovah's Witnesses are not a bad lot but they use propaganda and I hate propaganda. They advertise the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses were treated as enemies of the Nazis and were tortured and killed but they NEVER will let anyone know that before the carnage started the organisers of the JWs showed faith in Naxi Germany. Didn't Jesus Christ who leads them know what Germany was about to do?

OK so I am tending towards reading sigh some long rhetoric. Or maybe I just want to see if it is long or short for a change.

It isn't. I counted the lines. I count things. Mostly stairs. 33 I counted. I am not going to read it.

I am tempted to read that thread again and I did. But not some of the people. Sometimes I just check it to see if at all possible they might use fewer words. Usually not though. I do not know how many times they think they must say something for it to come true.

I am disappointed that there are only two kinds of people where the Bible is concerned. One kind believes it is as good as God and the other kind can do without it.

I am wasting my time again so I think I shall go for another view, for the count. Thank you (because you can see this).

I am unhappy about the fact that the people who I wish to talk to won't listen and the people who do listen do not need to hear what I am saying. I am sorry.
