It makes me sick when they try to compare themselves to the disciples of ancient times. They are not even close.
If we read Paul's letters with an eye for it, we find all the problems that crop up in Witness congregations: Personal difficulties, vanity, a feeling of "specialness," lax behavior. The problem isn't that Witnesses are not like the early, fractured, disagreeable congregations. They are a bit too much like them. We should expect Christian brethren to be a lot like us. No? The real issue is that Watchtower heirarchy replaces scripture with personal opinion, or they express as firm doctrine ideas that have been debated within the Witness comunity for over a century. An Example is the fate of Sodom.
By now we should know that solid arguments can be made for their salvation and for their everlasting destruction. Why not say - a humble man would - we do not know with certainty. It rests in Jesus' hands, and he will do the right thing. That they express personal opinion as divinely inspired doctrine marks them as haughty, self-appointed arbiters of all scriptural matters.
Because the Watchtower has since Rutherford's day formulated a prophetic scheme with themselves at the center, they cannot approach the Faithful and Wise Servant doctrine with clear eyes. Jesus was not describing a prophetic appointment. He was describing the qualities of a faithful servant. Does that mean that the Christian Church doesn't have a governance structure? No. Other verses tell us it does. But Matthew twenty-four does not describe a last-days appointment of a few men to lead the body of Christ into paradise. It only describes two courses of life.
It's time to drop the self-entitlement and really read the Bible.
