  Helpful Scriptural References - importance of Trust in God not Man

  by objectivetruth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  psalms 118:8 - it is better to take refuge in jehovah than to trust in humans.. the scriptures are clear that jesus is the truth - the way - the life : john 4:6 - jesus said to him: i am the way and the truth and the life.

  no one comes to the father except through me.

  1 timothy 2:4 - whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.

  That's an interesting collection of scriptures, but you know what they'll come back with? "be obedient to those taking the lead", Jesus holds the congregations in his hands, so by supporting the people he's provided, overseers, as there were in the first century, we support Christ. How'd you balance that then?

  Apognophos - thanks for writing what you wrote, it really hit me hard. I'm there, I feel weak and stupid and cowardly at times, but it's geezers like you, and snare, that help me a LOT, and I'm sure I speak for countless others that read these posts too, perhaps even lurkers. Bu2b, you're not alone dude, we're here with you. Albeit parousaically.

  Letter From WTBTS Evidence of Mind Control Tactics

  by Corvin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the following is taken from ray franz's book, crisis of conscience, pages 341-344. this letter, sent out to all traveling representatives, circuit overseers, by the service department of the international headquarters, shows the society's demand for comformity no matter the cost to the rank and file.

  jw lurkers: please read carefully.

  the portion of the letter in blue is of particular interest, and franz's comments nails the governing body's intent.. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  That's a great quote sd-7, nicely done. Does anyone know if this has ever been updated or rescinded? I quoted it a while back, thinking it was an elders letter, not remembering that it was a CO letter, so obviously I nor any of my brothers would officially know about the policy. They denied it was a policy (how would they know) so I just wondered if it has ever been updated?

  Just marking this thread to remind me of it later.. Interesting comparison between avoiding a direct command to save a life (memorial) and obeying a direct command whether or not lives are lost.. (blood). What was it Jesus said, I want mercy not sacrifice? Or something..
