An imagined conversation between a JW and Jehovah God on judgment day:
Why have you placed men between yourself and Christ Jesus, My installed mediator? (1Ti 2:5)
They said that they were Your representatives.
You were given clear instructions in My Bible that there is only one mediator and that if you want to come to Me you must go through him, and only him. (1Ti 2:5; Jn 14:6)
But they said that we had to follow their interpretations and instructions in order to please You.
Why did you listen to them when I clearly told you not to follow any man? (Isa 2:22; Ps 146: 3, 4; Jer 17:5; Ac 5:29)
Because they said that those scriptures do not apply to them.
No one is exempt from My commandments.
But they seemed like such good men, and they did so many good deeds.
You were warned multiple times that false Christs would do many powerful works in my Son's name, and skillfully wrap themselves in sheep's covering to appear righteous. (Mt 7:22; 24:24; Mr 7:9; 13:22; Mt 7:15; Eph 4:14) And you were repeatedly given the command: "Do not go after them" (Lu 21:8; Mt 24:23; Mr 13:21; Lu 17:23) So why did you not obey?
Because they are the ones who taught me the message of Your Son.
As they ought to have done. (Lu 17:10) But you are no longer a lamb or little sheep are you? (Jn 21:15-17) You are a mature sheep who should be consuming solid food directly from my Word which gives you everything you need. (2Ti 3:17) But you continued to rely on milk from a teacher instead. (He 5:12) Why?
Because they said that I must continue to consume their milk in order to please You.
You were told, were you not, that If a blind man guides a blind man that both will fall into a pit? (Mt 15:4) Yet you continued to blindly follow those false Christs, against the many commandments not to. (My 24:23-25) Therefore you will reap what you have sown. (Ga 6:7)
But I thought I was doing the right thing!
No, you were not thinking at all. As you repeatedly said, you were letting those men think for you. (Ac 4:19) Because of their brazen conduct they will receive what is coming to them. (2Pe 2:2; Mt 7:22, 23) And by your own words you too will be judged. (Lu 19:22)
