So then, brothers, we can see by the guidance of "mother" here, that Brother Russell and the "Bible Students" were in serious and grave error and danger in their endeavors to search the scriptures together in small groups.
We can see how this was not the way God wanted his word handled. Jesus words must not be taken literally when he said, "wherever 2 or 3 are gathered together, there I am in their midst". What he really meant was a figurative meaning of the numbers 2 and 3, not a literal count of persons. It is clearly a reference to the governing body, who being present as "christ", are leading the congregations at the district assembly this year. The title "Follow the Christ" shows Jehovah's blessing on this arrangement and his approval of the lead being taken by our dear brothers at the headquarters. Please remember, taking Christ's words literally, would mean God's Spirit can accomplish we deem impossible, therby putting Jehovah to the test and showing ourselves to be desirous of independence from the "table of Jehovan" and the "healthful teachings" we acquire there. To be absent from that table would imply we are instead ready to feast upon the "table of demons". Such an independent attitude would be dangerous indeed.
Can you say that without puking?
