LOS TESTIGOS DE JEHOVÁ EN BOGOTÁ SE PREPARAN PARA SU ASAMBLEA REGIONAL

Este viernes comienza el evento y se llevará a cabo durante los próximos diez fines de semana. Esperan que los más de 50.000 creyentes adscritos a las congregaciones de la capital asistan al encuentro. Dos de sus voceros hablan sobre la religión y la asamblea.

Cortesía Testigos de Jehová

A Rául Benítez y Humberto Zorrilla les basta con mirar a los cerros orientales bogotanos para creer que Dios sí existe, o Jehová, como también lo llaman. “En el código genético nuestro, en la más mínima partícula de nuestro ser está la presencia de él”, concuerdan los dos voceros de los Testigos de Jehová.

Ambos llegaron a la religión en tiempos diferentes y por decisión propia. No hubo presiones. Solo un deseo por descubrir lo que el catolicismo no les convencía. Ellos mismos fueron los que se acercaron a otras personas para indagar, leer y escuchar las respuestas espirituales que buscaban.

La respuesta le llegó a Humberto cuando apenas tenía 14 años. Su hermano, testigo ya confeso, nunca lo influyó para que ojeara las revistas, como El Atalaya, que dejaba en su casa. “Leía las publicaciones y le empecé a hacer preguntas. Él me explicaba con la Biblia. Me parecía muy bonito y razonable”, cuenta Zorrilla.

Los Testigos de Jehová tienen gran dominio de su libro sagrado. Para cualquier situación tienen un versículo que ejemplifica, enseña o hace reflexionar. Son muy convincentes con la palabra, no titubean, y no hacen silencios prolongados innecesarios. Esta es una de sus formas de propoganda, al igual que su presentación personal, siempre intachable e impecable.

Esta vertiente del cristianismo, a diferencia del catolicismo, no cree en la Trinidad, ni que Jesús es Dios. En 1881, en Estados Unidos, se constituyó como religión  gracias a los Estudiantes de la Biblia, movimiento cristiano que buscaba la restauración de la doctrina. A partir de su consolidación como entidad legal con el nombre de Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, en 1884, se comenzaron a editar las publicaciones con propósito educativo.

Estas publicaciones, principalmente El Atalaya y ¡Despertad!, que fueron creciendo a lo largo de los años, más los audiolibros y el canal de televisión en línea, con programas especiales para niños, jóvenes y familias, traducido en más de 700 idiomas, dialectos y lenguaje de señas, convierte a este credo en una religión accesible para todo el mundo.

Por medio de estas publicaciones y de los libros de Daniel y el Apocalipsis, publicados por los testigos, Raúl Benítez también comenzó a interesarse por esta vertiente del cristianismo.

Desde pequeño, Benítez ya había tenido acercamiento con los testigos, pero no sintió en ese entonces la necesidad de respuestas espirituales que sí le surgieron a sus 25 años, luego de ejercer el periodismo en RCN, Todelar y Radionet.

“Tomé la decisión de apartarme de la profesión, un poco agotado y aburrido de casi informar lo mismo: escándalos y corrupción. Eso parece que nunca se va a acabar. Yo cubría las fuentes de política, economía y conflicto” cuenta Benítez.

No se arrepiente de su decisión. La Biblia se convirtió en su principal fuente de información, que le dice cómo actuar como creyente, esposo, padre y ser humano. Su trabajo actual no tiene ninguna relación con el periodismo. Se dedica al transporte empresarial y de turismo, y en sus tiempos libres a predicar y a ayudar a su congregación en temas de comunicación.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
