I was watching the news and came upon an interview with Brigitte Gabriel on Muslim extremists. What caught my attention was the above quote. The reason is, it brought back what an elder recently told me about our faith in the Governing Body.
I will paraphrase what he told me below:
"Obedience is easy. Being obedient to our parents, government official, or the direction the governing body give us, is easy enough to accomplish. What is hard and difficult is our submission. We need to be submissive to the governing body as they are the agents of Jehovah. By being submissive it will remove all doubts and strengthen our faith."
To me the direction of The Watchtower is more extreme with each year passing. They don't want obedience they want submissive servants.
