BIG BROTHER made it clear years ago that total obedience to them is a requirement of membership to their club.
To run ahead of the Society is a sin in their eyes. Members must remain silent and pretend they agree with all official teachings. This includes encouraging those they call on in their ministry to accept the false teaching. Distributing Watchtowers that carry known errors is also part of their ministry. If the Society does eventually alter its mind on the matter, then the members are allowed to alter theirs. If the Society never does or comes up with a third alternative, the members must follow suit. It claims to be responsible for the personal beliefs of the membership.
“We should meekly go along with the Lord’s theocratic organization and wait for further clarification, rather than baulk at the first mention of a thought unpalatable to us and proceed to quibble and mouth our criticisms and opinions as though they were worth more than the slave’s provision of spiritual food. Theocratic ones will appreciate the Lord’s visible organization and not be so foolish as to pit against Jehovah’s channel their own human reasoning and sentiment and personal feelings.” (Watchtower 2 January 1952 – Page 8)
