Wow, to read an article like this 3 years removed.
Par 3: One scripture, and then the statement that it must refer to one source. Keeping in mind that even the GB says it's an ILLUSTRATION.
PARAGRAPH 16 ALERT!!!: Read and re-read. Are all annointed Christians responsible for feeding spiritually? NO! Even though all annointed ones are part of the group, there are annointed Christians who deny to others their supposed JW taught responsibility to take part in the feeding of others, on the flimsiet of explanations....
PArs 17 and 18 give the non scriptural reasons why the GB seizes power from the rest of the FD Slave.
Par 19: You are told the response that you should have: They are happy to cooperate...
Really?

Wait until you've been out over 45 years... It makes me want to vomit when I think my family is still a part of this sick organization.

Try reading it when you're still technically in.

Well, this interestingly confirms the "neo-apostolic" trend which has been discussed on this board a few months ago, i.e. that the GB justifies its role more and more by the NT notion of apostleship. Remember in the past the so-called "first-century governing body" (lower case) was supposed to be made up of "the apostles and elders" in Acts 15; here the "elders" are dropped, and who comes instead in addition to the Twelve? Paul and Barnabas because they are called apostles...

Did the holy spirit instruct the GB to create such an image (page 23)?
Basically, what I can gather from reading this article is that the GB are openly stating that Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult.
For those of you that are unsure of the definition of a cult, read up on it. You'll find many similarities with the above article.

So, about paragraph 16:
If not all spirit-annointed Christians have the responsibility to provide food at the proper time, (although Matthew clearly states that IS their prime responsibility) then, exactly what are their responsibilities?
Is it the preaching work? How are these ones any different from the other sheep then, whose prime responsibility is the preaching work?
I don't understand.....
