WT says criticism of elders would be grieving holy spirit...unpardonable?

Curiously, in the apostle Paul's day there were some who were speaking against the apostles in the congregations. Surely this was far more serious than speaking against the elders in the twenty-first century!
Yet, and note this, the apostle Paul did not speak of such ones as grieving the HS, nor did he recommend that a judicial committee be formed. Instead he wrote: "keep this one marked, stop associating with him, that he may become ashamed. And yet do not be considering him as an enemy, but continue admonishing him as a brother." - 2 Thessalonians 3:14,15 (Kingdom Interlinear Translation)
Interesting, isn't it, how far from the scriptures the WTS have gone ?

This is all part of their control tactics.

Am I reading this correctly? Are they saying that questioning the elders actions is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit... the unforgivable sin???
Damn... now THAT is cult!

One who undermines respect for the spirit-appointed servants by destructive criticism would also be vexing the spirit.
