Quote from September 1, 1961 WATCHTOWER magazine, page 525, paragraph 15
"If one renders obedient service to someone or some organization
whether willingly or under compulsion, looking up to such as possessing
a position of superior rulership and great authority, then that one can
Scripturally be said to be a worshiper."
Didn't Jesus say something about .......'out of their own mouths they will condemn themselves'? Or has there been 'new light' on the above information?

*** w61 9/1 p. 525 Hold Your Position ***. If one renders obedient service to someone or some organization, whether willingly or under compulsion, looking up to such as possessing a position of superior rulership and great authority, then that one can Scripturally be said to be a worshiper
And compare this to what they said 20 years later......
*** w83 1/15 p. 22 Exposing the Devil’s Subtle Designs ***
How is such independent thinking manifested? A common way is by questioning the counsel that is provided by God’s visible organization.
There just aren't enough eyes to roll at their hypocrisy.............
Yes, I remember that quote very well Mary and thank you for remembering it! Watchtower-1983-January-15-p. 22

Confession
Didn't Jesus say something about .......'out of their own mouths they will condemn themselves'?
I've been trying to find a scripture like this. Does anyone know?
This is the only one I can find Confession:
(Matthew 12:33-37) . . ."Either YOU people make the tree fine and its fruit fine or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten; for by its fruit the tree is known. 34 Offspring of vipers, how can YOU speak good things, when YOU are wicked? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good man out of his good treasure sends out good things, whereas the wicked man out of his wicked treasure sends out wicked things. 36 I tell YOU that every unprofitable saying that men speak, they will render an account concerning it on Judgment Day; 37 for by your words you will be declared righteous, and by your words you will be condemned."
Thank you, Mary!
