I was unable to insert the Pic from the April 15,2013 pg 29 but leaving Jesus Christ out of the illustration on page 29 is no problem for the Governing Body as they have now substituted themselves for Christ. The following quotations substantiate this:-
''The Faithful Slave is the channel through which Jesus is feeding his true followers at this time of the end. It is vital that we recognize the Faithful Slave. Our spiritual health and our relationship with God depend on this channel. Matt 4:4; John 17:3.
Watchtower July 15, 2013, page 20, paragraphThe other sheep should never forget that their salvation depends on their active support of Christ’s anointed brothers still on earth.
Watchtower March 15, 2012, page 20, paragraph 2.Through the new covenant, Jehovah makes blessings available to many by means of a few. Those in the covenant are few, 144,000 Through them, (FDS class, now the Governing Body), millions from all nations will be blessed with everlasting life on an earthly paradise……
Watchtower March 1st, 2012, page 17, section 3.We need to obey the Faithful and Discreet Slave to have Jehovah’s approval.
Watchtower July 15, 2011, page 24.Among those “gifts in men” are the members of the Governing Body, who act in a representative way for the entire Christian congregation, (Acts 15: 2, 6). In fact, our attitude towards Christ’s spiritual brothers is a major factor that will determine how we will be judged in the coming great tribulation, (Matt 25:34-40). Thus one aspect of the way we gain a blessing is by giving our loyal support to God’s anointed ones.
Watchtower December 15, 2010, page 20, paragrap19.The anointed and their other sheep companions recognize that by following the lead of the modern-day Governing Body, they are in fact following their leader Christ.
Watchtower September 15, 2010, page 23, paragraph 8.The Governing Body publishes spiritually encouraging literature in many languages. This spiritual food is based on God’s Word. Thus, what is taught is not from men but from Jehovah – Isa 54:13w
Watchtower September 15, 2010, page 13, paragraph 8.
We cannot hope to acquire a good relationship with Jehovah if we ignore those whom Jesus has appointed to care for his belongings. Without the assistance of the “faithful and discreet slave” (now an 8 man Governing Body), we would neither understand the full import of what we read in God’s Word nor know how to apply it. (Matt 24:45-47).
Watchtower September 15, 2010. page 8, paragraph 7.So the last quotation negates John 14:26, James 1:5 and 1John 2:27
Isnt this a big deal the smoking gun showing that this ORG cares only for itself and its power over people? I would think this picture should be the catalyst to open up they eyes to the believers. The Ammo for all us faders that may be attacked by family and friends that are accusing us of apostasy. Throw this pic in their faces along with these quotes and then ask whos the apostates now?!!!
