We must not lose sight of the fact that God is directing his organization … To turn away from Jehovah and his organization, to spurn the direction of ‘the faithful and discreet slave,’ and to rely simply on personal Bible reading and interpretation is to become like a solitary tree in a parched land.” (The Watchtower, June 1, 1985, pp. 19-20)

The written Word of God, therefore does not need the traditions which are the private interpretation of men and religious organisation..... Let God be true book
Had the oral traditions of religious men been necessary to compliment the canon of the Bible, Paul would not have said that the point of making the men of God perfect in faith and devotion to God. It would have been inadequate and would have left the man of God unperfected..... Let God be true book

Oh dear fast Forward to 1985 those who take the BIBLE and its interpretation ALONE and ENOUGH are labelled PARCHED LAND
