| There is no adequate explanation when faced with inconsistencies in scriptural interpretation. The position is all too often adopted that ones who were expelled from the congregation brought it upon themselves. They were not willing to patiently "wait on the Lord"; they displayed a lack of loyalty; they were presumptuous; they “went running ahead". Never is this a judgement the Governing Body turns on itself. To take just one example, when the Watch-Tower Society “went running ahead" and published dates for the end of the world to come in 1914, 1925, and 1975, the subsequent exodus from the organisation was put down to a lack of loyalty on the part of those who left, rather than something the Society had brought upon itself. | |

I particularly liked that statement above. This kind of thinking reflects in a large way exactly what I think. Its a great a blessing to know that there are so many like-minded individuals who will stand up to what is right and to help others as well.
