The Jehovah Witness dilemna

  The "light gets brighter", that's what they say when there has been a change of doctrine.

  The people who are Jehovah's Witnesses are trained to obey the "faithful and discreet slave". They believe the "faithful and discreet slave" is represented only by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Governing Body at this time teaches that anyone who learns their way and stays close to it will be saved for a new life in a new (good) world. Any one who does NOT obey their way will be destroyed (by Almighty God).

  The dilemna is such that the men to obey are human and they will die. When they do die, who will distribute the "new light" that is needed for salvation? Everyone, even the most faithful of the Jehovah's Witnesses will probably confess under pressure that there are mistakes in their doctrine which is called The Watchtower. So the problem is how will the mistakes be eliminated once the "faithful and discreet slave" is no longer among them?

  JWs' loyalty is to an organization.

  Somehow "the organization" takes on a life of its own in their mind.

  They don't think about the organization being the individual men who run it, nor do they examine the qualifications of the men who make up the GB.

  As long as there is a GB that prints the literature and issues directives, in the minds of JWs, the organization will be there, speaking for Jehovah.

  How long before being annointed is no longer a requirement for being a GB?

  So are you saying that Jehovah's Witnesses do not care if it is men like themselves who take over the job of publishing the Watchtower when the "anointed" are gone?

  The Governing Body who directs the action are confessing they are spirit directed. They say their reward of "faithful" service is to inherit a spiritual heavenly place, but they must die in the flesh first.

  If everyone is spirit directed why is it they are perceived to be needed and obeyed now? Why have people been disfellowshipped for thinking differently than the Governing Body? If the GB is obeyed, but not the spirit now, what will happen when the GB members die?

  What spirit will the people obey once the end of the Governing Body arrives? If the answer is the spirit of the truth is that which is to be obeyed, why shouldn't we obey it now?

  Some really believe Jehovah is running his will like in Moses time.....

  Certain men will Take the Lead and at times Stumble (Much like Moses)......

  The Line that gets you Stuck is... Remember you put Your Trust in Jehovah....

  So if you question anything..... You're Questioning Jehovah!

  I asked this question to a pioneer and elder's wife. When the end comes and there is nothing left but the Watchtower which you believe tells the truth... then the resurrection happens and the holy ones like Daniel come back to earth, are you going to insist the Watchtower is the correct understanding even when he says it isn't? Will you force feed this stuff to Moses, Abraham, Daniel and such like ones? If they say The Watchtower is wrong who will you believe?

  Somrbody will always try to overlap some new light excuse to hide the fact that they got nothing. They'll try guilt tripping, threats and don't give up now were almost there. Where would you go no one has truth and satan will trap you and nobody will talk to you and the angels will hurl fireballs at you so just obey and don't question.

  Somebody will always be around who believes that God or Holy Spirit has spoken to them or chosen them. That makes them feel special. As long as Jehovah's Witnesses exist, there will always be some who are sure they are anointed to replace the dying anointed.

  Their current overlap doctrine buys them enough time for everyone today who believes their nonsense to pass away before it is impossible to happen. They will say that a few anointed were born around 2010 to 2015 and are part of the overlap generation. That gets them into the 22nd century before they absolutely have to abandon that nonsense.

  So a bunch of old men living now and their replacements who will be a bunch of old men on the young side of the 21st century don't have a dilema at all concerning this.

  In the unbelievable unforeseeable event that nobody actually believes they are Jehovah's Witnesses of the anointed, then some conman like Rutherford will come along and steal away the organization. This might happen anyway, even if there are plenty of people sure they are anointed.

  I am a little confused..

  J W teaching is that in the N World , when the last of the 144k has been launched to his/her heavenly role, the remaining earthlings will take over the admin and distribute any information..."Princes in men" I believe was the phrase..

  It is no good asking a dub, "What if..?" It is written prophecy that it will happen , so it is as good as done!
