    The blinded minds of those still in will not see any of this,my first feeling on this was "so what,let them carry on until they DO see"

    but I suppose we who have been enlightened should try to show them that the GB is "the Disgusting Thing,standing in a place that it ought not", (i.e in place of Jesus )

    difficult though with the degree of mind control getting even stronger.

    Love

    If the WTS were to print an article "urging" JWs to dig a cellar under their homes, suffocate their children and live in the cellar because the GT was coming, how many would do it without flinching?

    A good 60%, IMO. I find the blind devotion terrifying.

    At Matthew 24:45-51, Jesus describes two types of slaves (or servants) who were put in charge of their master’s belongings while their master was away. Upon his master’s return, one slave was found “faithful” and rewarded by being appointed over “all” of his master’s possessions. The other slave proved unfaithful in his tasks and when his master arrived, he was thrown out with the hypocrites. The point of Jesus’ parable is that we all are to strive to be a “faithful” to our Lord so that when our King Jesus comes for His people, He will find us “faithful” and reward us with more authority and responsibility. Nothing in this passage indicates that the faithful “slave” is speaking prophetically of an organization that would be “appointed” over Jehovah’s belongings. On the contrary, just as any individual can become part of the evil “slave” group by being unfaithful to God, so anyone can become part of the faithful “slave” group by being faithful in the tasks given by the Holy Spirit.

    Indeed, we place our souls in great peril if we entrust our eternal destiny to the hands of human leaders for spiritual security. The Bible says, “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength.” (Jeremiah 17:5). The only One we are to look to for eternal life and spiritual Truth is Jesus Christ. He declares, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me.” (John 14:6)
