  Comparably, for more than a century now, the anointed brothers of Christ, those with the heavenly hope, have served as "a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God." (1 Peter 2:5) They have taken the lead in dispensing Bible truths to others. As you have learned truths that they teach, have you not found from experience that the very law of truth has proved to be in their mouths? - The Watchtower May 1, 2002 page 16, paragraph 9

  The question on this paragraph reads: "Who have faithfully dispensed the truth in our time?"

  Any thoughts on what constitutes "the law of truth"?

  From what I understand of a law, it is a rigid, fixed word. Is the 'revealed truth' of the WTS such a rigid matter? They have explained on many occasions that the word of truth is like a bright light that gets "brighter and brighter".

  Seems a little confusing?

  Especially when on page 13 appears this statement: "Individuals living in Malachi's day bore personal responsibility for their deeds, and so do we." Hmmmm.

  Cheers,

  What are spiritual sacrifices? And how do you know when he approves of them.

  "spiritual sacrifices" When a Dub reads those words he understands the 'code' behind them and so it conjures up in his/her mind the works of meeting attendance and field service. And they're told what is acceptable: 5 meetings per week and an average share in the ministry at least. Average? National average.
