  Last night, the opening of the mailbox revealed the May 15,2001 Watchtower. My initial instinct was to drop it in the garbage on the way to the house, but I would have had to walk around the house to do it and my hands were full. I don't normally read them,but of late with all the "choice morsels" from the past coming out , I just wanted to flip through and see where they are heading now..........and see if any gems of gold existed inside

  In the Article "By Wisdom our days will become many" on page 29 left column, in the paragraph just above the subheading " Do Not Reprove a Ridiculer"..... the following is found:

  " The faithful and discrete slave", whom JESUS directly supervises, diligently provides timely spiritual food for all."

  Now if you read below, You will see MR Franz's, and Knoors statments clearly indicating that GOD is the editior of this very magazine.

  SO we have GOD editing , and Jesus Directing......... and only the FATHER knows the hour....and the father cant lie.........
  and the end has been written down how many times...........

  If I write a letter to the editor, will he read it, will he respond to it.....
  will he print it.........

  I feel SO much better knowing this.............

  at times like this I wish I could just post the TR picture and say ENOUGH!

  Olin R. Moyle, v F.W.Franz, et al. Libel suit testimony, May 10th to May 27th, 1943, New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division:
  Fred W. Franz on the witness stand, sections 2596 & 2597 -

  "Q. At any rate, Jehovah God is now the editor of the paper, is that right ?

  A. He is today the editor of the paper.

  Q. How long has he been editor of the paper ?

  A. Since its inception he has been guiding it.

  Q. Even before 1931 ?

  A. Yes, sir."

  Nathan Homer Knorr on the witness stand, at the same Olin Myle trial, sections 4420 & 4421 :

  "Q. But you don't make any mention in the fore part of your Watch Tower that "We are not infallible and subject to correction and may make mistakes" ?

  A. We have never claimed infallibility.

  Q. But you don;t make any such statement, that you are subject to correction, in your Watch Tower papers do you ?

  A. Not that I recall.

  Q. In fact, it is set forth directly as God's Word, isn't it ?

  A. Yes, as His Word.

  Q. Without any qualification whatsoever ?

  A. That is right.".

  Now the LIGHT shines brightly. All this time I thought the
  New Testament was important but It was edited by only
  JESUS the son. Now I've realized my misstep, after all
  the gospel of the watchtower is edited by GOD[FATHER]
  not JESUS who is just A god just the son. Guess I need
  to backtract at the next crossroad. Heres a favorite line
  for you. "I'm thinking and wondering walkin' down the road
  I once loved an organization a cult I'm told. I gave it my
  heart but it want my soul. But don't think twice its alright.
  It just kinda wasted all of our precious time" Hey and
  Eric is wailing in the background[I could probably re-do
  the whole song] Peace Love and Happiness to all.

  The Watchtower, June 1, 1965, p. 352

  ".... Jehovah’s organization must henceforth be guided and directed by Jehovah’s spirit through the visible governing body made up of those servants whom Jehovah himself would appoint.... Jehovah’s theocratically controlled organization under the immediate direction of Jehovah himself."

  The Watchtower, June 15, 1957, p. 370

  Let us now unmistakably identify Jehovah’s channel of communication for our day.... Yes, particularly since 1919 has it been true that he has appointed the collective body of the anointed remnant over all the visible interests of the Kingdom.... It is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the "slave" as we would to the voice of God, because it is His provision.

  The November 1, 1956 Watchtower, page 666

  Who controls the organization, who directs it? Who is at the head? A man? A group of men? A clergy class? A pope? A hierarchy? A council? No, none of these. How is that possible? In any organization is it not necessary that there be a directing head or policy- making part that controls or guides the organization? Yes. Is the living God, Jehovah, the Director of the theocratic Christian organization? Yes!
