Usually I read through the study article for the week to see if there are good points of discussion with my family.
When I read this paragraph, I nearly fell off my chair. This is complete and utter garbage. I have had discussions with my wife and other family members who ALSO agreed it was complete rubbish. (Yes, you could say the whole thing is garbage...but this was over the top)
11/15/2012 WT "Forgive One Another Freely"
Paragraph 16 - "In accord with Jehovahs's will, Christian elders have been entrusted with the responsibility of wrongdoing in the congregation. These brothers do not have the full insight that God does, but they aim to make their decision harmonize with the direction given in God's Word under the guidance of Holy Spirit. Hence, what they decide in such matters after seeking Jehovah's help in prayer will reflect his point of view" - Matt 18:18.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????????????
What this says is "Elders are imperfect men and are not inspired . However, since they say a prayer and ask for God's holy spirit, they are telling you exactly what Jehovah would say on the matter."
Listen, Obey, and be Blessed
