Please read Barbara Anderson's essay; "Flawed Decrees Conceal Criminals"
Please Google Commentary on Lev.5: 1, open Bible Hub, where you get the court room setting.
Please Read the Sept. 1987 article "A Time to Speak When?". [If I remember right someone put the whole article on my post pertaining to Jesse Somlett}.
The church teaches that the man doing the "public cursing" is a sinner that the "witness" is required to report to elders for investigation.The NIV and RNWT says that when a "call to testify" is put forth by the Jewish court than anyone in the community who has knowledge of the crime under investigation is required to come forth with testimony in order to keep the community crime free.
Paragraph 6 of the 1987 Sept.1 Wt. article says that the man doing the public cursing is a crime victim and that the "public cursing" is not profanity. The first two sentences of par 7 there is a deception and a switch regarding the "witness", where in par. 6 the witness is a witness to a crime. In par 7 the "witness" is turned into a Gestapo informant.
This article was written in 1987!!! In 1975 the Matt.24:34 imploded. The years of 1980-83 were years of the church being without a rudder. In 1984 the church introduced the "obedience to the Organization mantra". That was a package deal, a conspiracy to create the the transition of a "faithful slave" into a "wicked slave" Matt.24: 48-51. Necessitated by the inability to replace the fertile mind of Fred Franz to continue the Matt. 24:34 narrative past the "master delaying" in 1975. The package deal of the 1984 conspiracy comprised; unquestioned obedience to GB, a new enemy the "apostate" was slowly weaved into the narrative, the sanction of "shunning" was introduced. As prior to 1984 the "apostate" and "shunning did not exist in church teaching. To understand the switching the "witness" from being a witness in a court room setting par6, into being a "Gestapo informant" in par 7. Is to understand that the article "A Time to Speak When?" was a highly crafted deception fabricated for the purpose of creating a "hunting license" to ferret out "apostates" meant to "divide and conquer" opposition to Church authority. In short create the situation of today Matt. 24: 48-51.!
As Phizzy said the the deception "was not even subtle"!
The problem is the revision of Lev 5:1 in the 2013 RNWT fully reveals the deception for the purpose of creating a means for the church to ferret out apostates.The church has cloaked the "new light" of the revision of Lev.5:1 in silence. To teach the "new light" of the 2013 revision is to reveal that the church uses deception to fabricate apostate policy designed as a "snare" to hold peoples minds into captivity to church authority Matt.24: 48-51.
The real problem is the standing the deception of the "Gestapo informant policy" next to the church's blood policy, is to understand that the church uses deception for the purpose of putting humans into mental captivity to solve the 1975 fiasco, brings up the question; what moral, ethical legal requirement does the church have to reveal to families that are required to forfeit human life as a church membership, which is enforced by "SHUNNING"!
To understand the 2013 RNWT revision of Lev.5:1 is to understand the church is guilty of MURDER!
If indeed you do read Barbara Anderson's essay "Flawed Decrees Conceal Criminals" and the commentary on Bible Hub the light will be turned on in your brain the 1984 conspiracy that brought about the "apostate" and "shunning" the taking minds into Babylon-ish captivity.
