(1) Was Charles Taze Russell ever the "faithful and wise steward" assigned to give people their "portion of meat in due season"? Yes, I believe so, because to me, his doctrine, although imperfect had much more basic truths than the other churches. Math. 24:45
(2) Was "the Society"—as distinguished from the "Bible Students" and the "association" in early publications—ever "the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season?" After Russell left, I believe the WT became a cult and became the evil slave in Math 24:48
(3) Is it a Scriptural requirement to confess any our sins to men, even "gross" sins? Yes, James 5:14-16 There is something about openly confessing our sins to one another that has much force.
(4) Is there Scriptural basis for the existence of Judicial Committees made up of elders? I would say no, As Jesus takes care of our sins Heb. 5:1-3
(5) Is there Scriptural basis for requiring compliance with an unscriptural policy on pain of disfellowshipping? No, we have to 'obey God as ruler, rather than men' Acts. 8:29 And we are commanded to love.
(6) Is there basis for requiring that Judicial affairs be conducted in complete secrecy, and that no witness or recording device may be present if the accused wishes to have proof of what happened at the proceedings? I don't think it should be secret. Don't know a scripture but I don't believe that Judicial meetings were done in secret but @ the public square.
(7) Is there basis for teaching that a man who has been disfellowshipped or has left the organization is no longer the spiritual head of his family?
So Auld Soul..this was what I came up with.
