    that 07 quote that Blondie first posted is one of the things that really woke me up. All my life they said that the anointed were special based on the scripture in 1 John about how the anointing gives one knowledge, yet in this article they say No. I thought WTF the scales started coming off after this.

    This, of course, does not mean that the spirit operates in the same way on all individuals.

    Perhaps we should remind them of that line when they tell us that EVERYONE must go door-to-door and be a teahcer.

    Thank you so much Blondie! I can't wait to use this now. Somebody actually just told me that if the WT does really say this then there is no point to following them, lol.

    It's not about the message proclaimed by the WTBTS that 's important. It's about our obedience to the message that's important!

    Just saying!

    To hold to the headship of Christ, it is therefore necessary to obey the organization that he is personally directing. Doing what the organization says is to do what he says.

    Whaaaaaaaaaaat "they have no special Holy Spirit"?

    If they are not infallable then what does that say about their statement above!

    They do not believe that they necessarily have more holy spirit than their companions of the other sheep have; nor do they expect special treatment or claim that their partaking of the emblems places them above the appointed elders in the congregation.

    Except we as the Big 8. We have more holy spirit than you. We expect better treatment and deference to us, and all of you need to recognize that we are much higher in status than mere local elders! If you don't believe this, just ask us. And you will be damned if you disagree with what we say, regardless of what we have written.
