12 The Governing Body is neither inspired nor infallible. Therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction. In fact, the Watch Tower Publications Index includes the heading “Beliefs Clarified,” which lists adjustments in our Scriptural understanding since 1870. Of course, Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food. So how can we answer Jesus’ question: “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?” (Matt. 24:45) What evidence is there that the Governing Body is filling that role? Let us consider the same three factors that directed the governing body in the first century.

Watchtowers from the 1800âs until the present; the Governing Body today

Since its appointment in 1919, the faithful slave has prepared spiritual food for God’s people.

In this Watchtower study, the Governing Body finally admits that they are neither inspired nor infallible, make mistakes in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction. They have made adjustments since the 1870s. Who said that the ''spiritual food'' had to be perfect? ( Whatever that means!)

The article tries to show evidence on why the Governing Body is filling the role of the ''faithful and discreet slave.''

Paragraph:

13 Evidence of holy spirit.

14 Evidence of angelic assistance.

15 Reliance on God’s Word.

After reading this whole article, you will begin to understand all the reasons why Jehovah shouldn't use this organization to direct his people.

The internet has finally caught up to all their lies.

Do We Need Help to Understand the Bible?

True, the brothers preparing these publications are not infallible. Their writings are not inspired as are those of Paul and the other Bible writers. (2 Tim. 3:16) And so, at times, it has been necessary, as understanding became clearer, to correct views. (Prov. 4:18) However, this has resulted in a continual refining of the body of Bible-based truth to which Jehovah’s Witnesses subscribe. Over the years, as adjustments have been made to that body of truth, it has become ever more wonderful and applicable to our lives in these “last days.” Bible commentators of Christendom are not inspired either. Despite their claims to great knowledge, they have failed to highlight even basic Bible truths —such as the coming Paradise earth, the importance of God’s name, and the condition of the dead.

Rather, the record that the “faithful and discreet slave” organization has made for the past more than 100 years forces us to the conclusion that Peter expressed when Jesus asked if his apostles also wanted to leave him, namely, “Whom shall we go away to?” (John 6:66-69) No question about it. We all need help to understand the Bible, and we cannot find the Scriptural guidance we need outside the “faithful and discreet slave” organization.

So, after admitting that the preparers of the Watchtower publications are not infallible, not inspired, need to correct, refine, adjust their Bible-based truths and that Bible commentators of Christendom are not inspired either, the question is asked, ''Whom shall we go away to?'' Who will help us understand the Bible and guide us Scripturally?

Jesus ..who has sayings of everlasting life? NOPE!

Whom? The continually refining and always adjusting ''faithful and discreet slave'' organization!

66 Because of this, many of his disciples went off to the things behind+and would no longer walk with him. 67 So Jesus said to the Twelve: “You do not want to go also, do you?” 68 Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, whom shall we go away to?+ You have sayings of everlasting life.+ 69 We have believed and have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.”

Some JW apologists have tried to reassure doubters that JW organization no longer trots out this blood guilty line. They're wrong! In a not to distant video, Morris (GB) hammered home this exact point of one's blood guilty status if you do not preach the JW warning.

The last meeting I attended was over seven years ago. I was inactive in field service for years. The Elders were always hounding me to restart field service. I hated field service with a passion and was sitting at the meetings PIMO. ( PHYSICALLY IN MENTALLY OUT ) Here is what an Elder said in one of his Ministry School talks that made me walk out that night and tell myself to never go back to the Kingdom Hall.

''Anyone who does not go out in field service and preach ''the good news'' will not survive Armageddon.''

Love the picture, so Pirates will be resurrected with puffy shirts.

Blackbeard The Pirate still has his boots, frilly shirt, pants, and vest. But, he was made to get a short haircut, shave his beard ( only mustaches allowed), and has his gun confiscated!

It's true! According to this article, Blackbeard The Pirate, (one of the more ruthless pirates that patrolled the Caribbean) will be resurrected, becomes clean shaven(only a mustache and a nice short haircut) and starts a Bible study. Blackbeard ( who killed thousands of people and pillaged many villages) will be given a resurrection because of "never knowing about Jehovah." Meanwhile, millions will be destroyed at Armageddon because they rejected the preaching of the good news!

On one hand jw's think everybody else will be zapped out of existence at the big A for not becoming jw's when they had the chance. On the other hand many think their loved ones will get a chance because their loved ones are pretty good as far worldly people go.

Carla: We both came to the same conclusion. That was my whole point in the post! They don't answer the question on who is the ''unrighteous'' Jesus and Paul were talking about. They come up with a half-assed answer that the ''unrighteous'' include those who never had the opportunity to know Jehovah. What does that actually mean?

If all ''unrighteous'' ( wicked, sinful), are to be resurrected, does that mean that all ex-Jehovah's Witnesses will be resurrected? And, why would anyone who isn't a Jehovah's Witness or ex-Jehovah's Witness perish at Armageddon, when wicked and sinful people will be resurrected? Why do the billions living in the end times deserve death and the ''unrighteous''( wicked, sinful) who died before Armageddon deserve a resurrection? Isn't wickedness the reason for Armageddon?

CHAPTER SEVEN

There Will Be a Resurrection

17 Who will be resurrected? Jesus said that “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29) And Revelation 20:13 tells us: “The sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the Grave gave up the dead in them.” Yes, billions of people will live again. The apostle Paul also said that both “the righteous and the unrighteous” will be resurrected. (Read Acts 24:15.) What does that mean?

In Paradise, resurrected ones are reunited with their loved ones

In Paradise, the dead will be resurrected and reunited with their loved ones

18 “The righteous” include faithful servants of Jehovah who lived before Jesus came to earth. People like Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Ruth, and Esther will be resurrected to life here on earth. You can read about some of those men and women in Hebrews chapter 11. What about Jehovah’s faithful servants who die in our time? They are also “righteous,” so they will be resurrected.

19 “The unrighteous” include billions of people who did not have the opportunity to know Jehovah. Even though they died, Jehovah hasn’t forgotten them. He will resurrect them, and they will have the opportunity to learn about him and serve him.

Who will be resurrected according to Jesus and Paul? .... “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out” and that both “the righteous and the unrighteous” will be resurrected.

What does that mean? The article answers that the ''righteous'' are "faithful servants" who lived before the time of Jesus and "faithful servants" of Jehovah ( Jehovah's Witnesses) who die before our time. ( before Armageddon)

Who are 'the unrighteous'' Paul talks about? Notice paragraph 19 and the half- assed answer they give! ''The unrighteous'' include billions who did not have the opportunity to know Jehovah.''

Really? That's not what Jesus, Paul, or Merriam-Webster define the word ''unrighteous''. The WTBTS cannot even give you a straight answer. Why are they so scared to define the real meaning of ''unrighteous''?
