    Many elders have trained publishers to look up

    articles by using the Index or the Watchtower Library,

    thus assisting their brothers and sisters to

    reason on the Scriptures. Such assistance helps

    publishers not only to address their immediate

    concerns but also to develop a habit of doing

    research and relying on Jehovah’s spiritual provisions.

    Pretty interesting stuff...kind of goes along with the article a few months ago that says "Quit bothering us, we don't have time to answer all of your silly questions here at the branch." The problem is they have created this monster by their claim of "truth" in every aspect of life. These poor JWs are simply trained to ask whether or not they can do this or that, and if they don't know the answer off of the top of their head they simply call the elders. They don't want to end up in the back room, getting harassed for making the wrong decision on so called "matters of conscience." Their legalism continues to come back and bit them in the ass.

    The Watchtower says that all who want to understand the Bible should recognize that the" greatly diversified wisdom of God "can only be known through the channel of communication of the Lord, the faithful and discreet slave." (John 6:68.)

    If anyone have doubts, it should not seek information from mundane sources, but in WT publications. Now I wonder, if only you can clarify doubts through FDS publications, what the hell were there doing as NGOs within the UN just to have access to their worldly library? (please forgive my English, isn't my first language)

    Feeling that we must have looked like foolish Christians

    Foolish Christians? That I doubt. Here, the folks that have played things smart and made a million bucks are hallowed in every way. It's no diff from the rest of the world, they still measure success in $$$dollarbill$$$. It's like Fiddler on the Roof -- "When you're rich they think you really know........." (If I Were a Rich Man). Let Brother Rich head the new hall construction committee. Appoint Brother Rich over the Auditing Dept. Ask Brother Rich about [insert subject] since he is pretty well informed about things. Let's invite Brother & Sister Rich along for dinner with the DO/CO (because he'll pick up the bill).

    wha happened?

    It reminds me of comments when I was 1st out in service. In getting the householder to think we would ask questions. One of the objections we would deal with was that they had a pastor or minister that would answer these questions, as they had already done the research. We would roll our eyes at their inability to think outside the box...........
