    Counting and reporting time spent in the ministry. Show me where that's at in the Bible. And then using it as the main basis for appointment as an MS or elder.

    Disfellowshipping(or Disassociation) should go to the extent of either gross sexual immorality or blasphemy. However, they DF their members on trivial things such as smoking and blood transfusions.

    They don't pray to Jesus.

    Acts 7:59; John 14:14

    Besides their multitude of petty, unscriptural rules, dubs are not scriptural or even Christian because:

    1. They do not worship God; they worship the WTS.

    2. They do not do unto others as they would have others do unto them.

    "dubs are not scriptural or even Christian because:"

    They are not "in Christ". Not part of the new covenant. According to the WTS only the 144,000 are in Christ.

    Don't follow. It's a distinction without a difference. All dubs call themselves Christian, not just the 144,000 (and counting). I don't even know what "in Christ" means. How is that different from being Christian?

    "I don't even know what "in Christ" means. How is that different from being Christian?"

    Romans 6:3-11

    Romans 8:1 nwt "in union with Christ"

    But the WTS teaches that only the 144000 are part of the new covenant.

    And only the 144000 can partake of the emblems.

    I can only deduce that the WTS thinks that only the 144000 are "in Christ".

    Peace

    I didn't state my position. I think the bible teaches that to be a Christian a person has to be "in Christ"

    Peace
