though judicial committee arrangement is found in mathew 18:15-20, this seems to be a later apostate interpolation!

(acts 20:28-30):.

1) jesus would not speak of such a heartless arrangement whereby a person who does not listen to the church is finally disfellowshipped, because it is in sharp contrast to what he was saying in mathew 18:14 and mathew 18:21-35; 1 peter 2:22; contrast also mathew 5:3, 40, 41; 16:24.. 2) jesus would not have told his disciples (mathew 18:1) to take things to the church (presently more than 40,000 in numbers) which obviously did not exist then.

1) if an atheist becomes selfish, others have no reason to be discouraged.

but see what happens if a religious leader becomes selfish, many may copy his behavior.

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
behind all the details in the bible lies the absolute truth: love is the true religion.

(james 1:27) [conversely, self-serving is false religion.colossians 3:5] that means god is not a factor in the true worship.

(habakkuk 2:4) his attitude is that if you are good, it is good for you; and if you do bad, it is bad for you.

I am not going for JC!

this morning two elders visited me and said this years memorial day is on april 14, and we are informing you well in advance so that you can arrange your affairs and attend.

[i had given them the impression that i am very busy due to my secular assignments, hence most of the time out of station.].

then i thought two elders visiting me cannot have an ordinary purpose, and i should give them a piece of my mind.
