Who do you think it is? The elders at the Kingdom Hall? If that is what you think them obey them. I have obeyed them and the GB for amost 50 years and where did it get me? Where did it get you? I am tired of the boy who cries wolf. The generation change was a total joke. I was not supposed to grow this old... You know the story.
So who are these ones "watching over our souls"? Back then in Pauls day that would have been easy to answer right? They were not called Jehovah's Witnesses we know that for sure. They were called "Christians" and "The Way". Today we have all kinds of different sects of Chritianity. Do any of them have 100% truth? That is impossible. so what percentage of truth do we expect? Honestly I do not think there is any "true" religion out there that has a patent on "the truth". JW's think they do but they have become known as false prophets world wide.
I think what you are asking is "who has the truth"/ "where are these people"? At Luke 18:18 Jesus said, "when the son of man comes, will he find the faith on earth?" Why did he ask this question? Honestly, I don't think he will find it like it was back then in the first century. You might find bits and pieces here and there... I believe there are those who have more truth than others. Read your bible and pray for holy spirit and try to find those you can agree with. Then if there are ones taking the lead you could follow them. Personally I don't want to take the chance... I don't trust men these days.... This is a different time is it not? I chose to follow my one leader Christ, he is my only leader.
1 John 2:27, " And as for YOU , the anointing that YOU received from him remains in YOU , and YOU do not need anyone to be teaching YOU ; but, as the anointing from him is teaching YOU about all things, and is true and is no lie, and just as it has taught YOU , remain in union with him." (NWT)
I hope that helps some,
