"the world is full of bibles, which book contains the commandments of god.
why, then, do the people not know which way to go?
because they do not also have the teaching or law of the mother, which is light.
Thanks Salcaton: I'm adding this one to my list of the Organization replacing Jesus.
Angel eyes: Regarding the organization being the mother, is this quote recent enough?
"The woman" is not Eve but Jehovah’s heavenly organization, the mother of his spirit-anointed servants on earth.(Galatians 4:26) Watchtower, June 1, 1996 page 9
Not sure if the following would apply.
They were cut off from the spiritual light of God’s organization, 1989 Live Forever, chapter 10, page 9
But consistently, from the early 1920’s until now, they have done so. In more recent times, in 1955, a further exposé of the clergy class was made by the worldwide distribution in many languages of a booklet entitled ChristendomorChristianity—WhichOneIs"theLightoftheWorld"? Revelation Climax chapter 21, page 141

I'm sorry Snowbird, that ain't going to happen. Have plenty of kleenex on hand.
Grace I know you're hurting. I don't think AE is intentionally trying to hurt you. She is hitting a raw nerve in you at this time.
Love you....but God our Father loves you even more!

Chalam: Glad you're enjoying it. The inclusion of Grieg makes it all the more wonderful. I so want to see the Northern Lights some day. The programme was on PBS a couple of months ago.

10 You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
angel eyes: I don't judge individuals. The Jehovah's Witness organization does judge individuals. As Christians we are to uphold and defend the true faith. My problem is not with individuals but with an organization that keeps their people in bondage. You show me in scripture that the Jehovah's Witnesses are the chosen people. The scripture you might use can apply to any group. The Jews were, and are still the chosen people. The 144,000 are literal Jews. God has not forsaken them. Their hearts are hardened for a period of time but will one day realize that their Messiah has already come, and that is happening. Many Jews are turning to Jesus Christ.
3 But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.
1 I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. 2 My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. 5 For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
