Spike, you wrote: "others, like me, see that their methods for the powerful truth that it can be to the one wholly-dedicated to learning correctly from Jehovah, Jesus, and the organization they choose to sponsor."
I respect your right to believe this.
Now prove that this is the organization that "Jehovah, Jesus" have chosen to sponsor. It's easy to make a bald assertion.

How are you already reading the september watchtower . I just today received the june and july. Of course I don't go to meeting so I didn't get them myself. They were delivered to my door but I am sure if there were more they would have brought them. Am I way behind or are you on the inside.

Spike Tassel (Post 809) Proof for me is what I had to, and have to, do for myself. Each one bears their own responsibility for this. It is a matter of one's own faith and spiritual life.

what is this proof though? can you share it?

Spike Tassel
the proof is in all my posts, if it has to do with "my" proof. really, even if you went through all 814 of them (including this one) it wouldn't be what I have. It's a spirit that overflows according to the context, etc., etc. Proof is what we each make of it. Whether it's enough, or not, depends on whether we can display the holy spirit properly. If any of the aspects is troublesome, then we still have more work to do in our relationships.

Hi Spike,
That's just a subjective opinion.
Your post #814 is no more proof than I ever got in the past regarding the GB's neo-Babylonian chronology. The answers I got then were also that the GB is correct because they are correct.
To say that you know "Jehovah, Jesus have chosen to sponsor the JW's Governing Body" because you "can display the holy spirit properly" beggars belief.

the other sheep [Spiritual Gentiles] know the voice of the Great Shepherd, just as the little flock [Spiritual Israel] do

Spike,
So you were unable to prove that "Jehovah, Jesus decided to sponsor any organisation".
Nor were you able to show which one it was, or when they did this.
Interesting.
Mind you, I agree, because I also don't think they have authorised any group. The only organisation is the personal, individual, direct relationship between a believer and Jesus Christ. Salvation is individual, not corporate.
