Hello everyone,
In these times of fast changeswe should always be on
the watch for surprises.
Please, take a look at this WTBS Inc. statement published recently in :
The Watchtower August 1 st , 2001 page 14 8
concerning a mature Christian:
He does not advocate or insist on personal opinions or
harbor private ideas when it comes to Bible understanding.
Rather, he has complete confidence in the truth as it is
revealed by Jehovah God through his Son, Jesus Christ, andthe faithful and discreet slave . By regularly taking in thespiritual food provided at the proper time - through Christian publications, meetings, assemblies, and conventions- we can be sure that we maintain oness in the faith with fellow Christians in faith and knowledge.-
Matthew 24:45
Now, after reading it, please compare with this one,
published only16 months later:
The Watchtower 1 st December 2002 page 22, par. 15
This points to the importance of keeping up with our
understanding of the truth as revealed by Jehovah
through his Word and through the faithful and discreet
slave class. Regular personal study of the Bible and Bi-
ble based publications vital to maintenance of our spiri-
tual armor. Matthew 24:45-47; Ephesians 6:14-15.
Have you noticed it?
a) Who is missing in all this process of understanding the TRUTH???
Of course you have noticed itno one else but ..the Son
of God, Jesus Christ himself !!!
b) Who is always there???
Yesyou know it already the faithful and discreet slave
c) We are informed that in the year 2002, Jehovah is
still making revelations. Then then apostle John, yes
the writer of Revelation was not the last one to
receive revelations.
I wonder why all this, then I did remember something written quite sometime ago, in
The Watchtower June 15 th , 1957 page 370, last
part of 7. There the WTBS Inc. reminded us that:
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.
Finally I did understand who on earth needs Jesus Christ?
We have an immense, greater privilege : the s l a v e which has been put on the same level as the voice of God!
I do hope that all this was not too much...
Greetings,
J.C. MacHislopp
