Wow. Obviously, they have lost all respect for
God handling the situation by their statement in the August 24,2024 , pg 25.
And…they have song called “Shepherds – Gifts in Men”?
“Help in our lives, Jehovah provides, Shepherds to tend his
flock. By their example they serve as guides, Showing us how to walk.”
Do these elders walk in the way of Christ, or in the way of men? Do they suffer persecution as he did? Are they
treated as scum of the world as the apostles were treated? Do they only follow his teachings? Or are they exalted, honored, given
privileges, titles, and obedience from all JWs, for following the doctrine of
men? (2 Tim 3:12; Matt 5:12; 10:22; 24:9;
John 16:2)
And how are the anointed to be treated? They are to be humble, quiet, submissive, slaves of men. (2 Cor 11:20; Gal 1:10)
Eph 4 -
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in
one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one
faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of
all, who is above all, and through all, and in [c]you all.
7 But to each one of us grace
was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore
He says:
“When He ascended on high,
He led captivity captive,
And gave gifts to men.”
And He Himself gave some to be apostles,
some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for
the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying
of the body of Christ, 13 till we all
come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of
Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children,
tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the
trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but,
speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is
the head—Christ— 16 from whom the whole
body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the
effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body
for the edifying of itself in love.”
The “body of Christ” is the spiritual temple of God.
Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple,
and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken
forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” 21 But
He was speaking of the temple of His body.”
And this “temple” is the holy priesthood, “living stones”, the
“saints”, the anointed. (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16; Eph 2:20-22) They, are whom Jesus has given gifts to men. But their offerings of these gifts, has been
taken away by a wicked slave and those whom these false prophets have chosen to
be their mouthpiece of lies. (Mark 13:14; Matt 24:24-25,48-51; Rev 13:1-2)
“Representing the royal priesthood are
appointed elders, who serve in positions of responsibility in congregations
of Jehovah’s people around the earth. These men deserve our respect
and wholehearted support, whether they are of the anointed or not.
Why? Because, through his holy spirit, Jehovah has appointed the older
men to their positions. (Hebrew 13:7,17) How can that be?” W02/8/1 pg 13
It can’t be. Would God
reject His own Son and the members of His Son’s spiritual body? Would God disregard His plan for building a
spiritual temple in people, men and women, to serve Him, His Son and all of His
future children in the Kingdom? Would He
choose this corrupt organization bursting with vile deeds enacted against men,
women, children, and His chosen anointed, over His own plan? (Rom
8:19-22; Gal 4:26-28; Rev 21:2-4)
But the Wt. tells us all authority has been given to men
that liars have chosen to support their corrupt organization/idol. (Rev 13:3-4;15-17)
“Rather than challenge their authority, we truly
appreciate our hardworking elders! Their record of faithful service, often
over many decades, inspires our trust.”
W02/8/1 pg 13
Okay, so the elders rule and are given the bogus right to
judge, which cannot be challenged, not even by those God has spiritually chosen
to serve the needs of His children. (Matt 28:18-20; John 21:17; 13:20; 1 Cor 6:1-4)
Just reading the
daily text for today is disgusting. “Jehovah
and his organization” built with a body
elders, rules. No mention whatsoever of
Jesus Christ. "The more we get to know Jehovah, the more we will trust in
him and the organization that he has provided to help us." - daily text
Daniel 8:25 - “Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to
prosper under his rule; And he shall exalt himself in
his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even
rise against the Prince of princes;
Against Jesus Christ, himself.
But he shall be broken without human means.”
1 Cor 3:16-17 – “Do you not know that you are the temple of
God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If
anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the
temple of God is holy, which temple you are.”
2 Thess 2:3-4,8-10 - “Don’t let anyone deceive you in
any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man
of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to
destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt
himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he
sets himself up in God’s temple,
(Ruling over the anointed - “Representing the royal
priesthood”.)
“proclaiming himself to be God. And
then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow
with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The
coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He
will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that
serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness
deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused
to love the truth and so be saved.”
Rev 13:5-7 – “The beast was given a mouth to utter boasts
and blasphemies. It was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two
months. 6 It began to speak blasphemies
against God: to blaspheme his name and his dwelling—those who dwell in
heaven. 7 And it was permitted to wage war
against the saints and to conquer them. It was also given
authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation.”
A challenge is a call to war. Wt and its leadership is
playing with fire, and they will get burned.
Jer 23:29; Rev 19:20
I hope all elders, all JWs leave wickedness behind.
