Is the WTBTS preparing the R and F for a large doctrinal change?
The July 15th Watchtower is dealing with Murmuring?
Article 1 - 'Keep Free from Murmurings'
Subheadings 'An Evil Assembly Murmurs Against Jehovah'
Mumuring In the First Century
Beware of the Corrosive Influence of Murmuring
Look at Things From Jehovah's Point of View
Forgiveness Promotes Unity
The next study article is 'Focus On The Goodness of Jehovah's Organization'
The subheadings are: 'Grateful for Those Taking the Lead'
'Those Taking the Lead are Imperfect'
'The Speech Is Shocking' Paragraph 14 under this subheading says;
'In Modern times, a very small number among God's people have become disgruntled with some aspect of Christian teaching and have mumured against the earthly part of Jehovah's Organization. Why does this happen? Such murmuring is often caused by lack of understanding of God's way of doing things. The Creator progressively reveals the truth to his people. Hence, our understanding of the Scriptures is bound to be refined from time to time. The vast majority of Jehovah's people rejoice over such refinements. A few become 'righteous overmuch' and resent the changes. Pride may play a role, and some fall into the trap of independent thinking. Whatever the reason, such murmuring is hazardous, since it can draw us back into the world and its ways.'
Paragraph 16, under the same subheading says:
'What if we are tempted to murmur because of having doubts about certain teachings that jehovah's people hold in common? Then let us not be impatient. The'faithful slave' may eventually publish something that answers our questions and clears up our doubts. It is wise to seek the help of Christian elders. Prayer, personal study and association with spiritually minded fellow believers can also help to remove doubts and can deepten our appreciation for the faith strengthening Bible truths we have learned through Jehovah's channel of communication.'
There may be a change afoot. I wonder if there will be any murmurings?!
