At least in this paragraph they cite one text. It really is not beyond them anymore to go without citing Scripture.
And the application is: obedience to Christ = obedience to the organization. They really HAVE taken Christ's place, haven't they?

Losingit:
The litterature is the body of "Christian Publications" that have "become PART OF THE BIBLE" - so that CO was quoting scripture. The Witchtower has declared this already you daffy thang!

disposable hero of hypocrisy
I read that paragraph at the top with my jw head on. Makes perfect sense to me.
They're spirit anointed so we should obey them. (scripture says be obedient to those taking the lead).
But they are imperfect (as is everyone) so they will make mistakes, (ie shout at someone sometime or have a wrong thought sometime) so we obviously make allowances for human imperfection as we would hope others would make allowances for us.
Tie that in with the scripture that talks about "considering those taking the lead and IMITATING THEIR FAITH" , job's a good 'un!
It's only if you're fully aware of ttatt that these things stand out as nonsensical. They're glaringly obvious to us, but we can't expect a mass wake-up cos it just ain't gonna happen. If you WANT to believe the gb are running the show under Christ's supervision then you'll iron any wrinkles out as you go. It's easy.

speaking of obedience my friend told a dog story the other day. She saw her puppy running out the door with a full can of Pringles in his mouth. Instead of chasing him, she shook the dog kibble bag. Fool dog ran right back inside.
That puppy was actually very smart.. Pringles are one of the most toxic processed foods you can eat.

The GB write these things in the third person to make it seem less offensive.
In reality it is an egocentric maniac writing writing to millions of followers - "obey me".

"... obedience to his organization..."
Has this never been said outright?
Seriously, I've read obedience to Jehovah. But to say "obedience to his organization? "
Those with knowledge of the history of the borg, please confirm!
w59 5/1 p. 269 Attain Completeness in the New World Society
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. Resisting the organization is to resist him.
Here is Jesus Christ's commandment regarding these prophesied end time events:
Luke 21:8
He said: "Look out that YOU are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time has approached.’ Do not go after them.
Everything Jesus Christ said would happen, is really happening!!

Watchtower-Free,
Here is one of the most blatant hypocrisies I have found in a Watchtower magazine:
w55 7/1 p. 411 Christian Baptism for the New World Society
A Christian, therefore, cannot be baptized in the name of the one actually doing the immersing or in the name of any man, nor in the name of any organization, but in the name of the Father, the Son and the holy spirit.
