would you please help me see if the following quote is authentic.
a scan would help if available.. "that they must adhere absolutely to the decisions and scriptural understandings of the society because god has given it this authority over his people.

Hi! Would you please help me see if the following quote is authentic. A scan would help if available.
"That they must adhere absolutely to the decisions and scriptural understandings of the Society because God has given it this authority over his people." (Watchtower, May 1, 1972, p. 272)
Thanks very much!!
hot off the presses - just some of the latest garbage coming out of brooklyn as found in the 1st study article - repudiate "valueless things" (4/15/08 koolaid edition wt): .
par 17: another example of valueless words is found among the religious leaders of christendom.
these claim to speak in god's name, but most of their utterances are not based on the scriptures, and what they have to say is basically worthless.
Will they repudiate themselves then?
leaving the society was scary at first but i had to make myself grin and bear it.
i have renewed my relationship with christ and i am looking foward to his wonderful blessings in my future.
now that i am finally worshipping him in spirit and truth and i have the hope of going to heaven someday.
Jesus Christ paid for my sins!
Mary, thanks for your keen commentary!
soliciting your comments as well!
please take a moment to post a comment, even if brief.
share your experience and keep the topic active.. .
"Therefore, parents do well to ask themselves: `What sort of associate am I?"
What sort of an "associate" is a parent to a child? Are they family or Wal-Mart employees?
talking to a friend (ex-elder) today whose wife was (is) a close friend of mine .
she's still a jdub but won't talk to me now i'm df'd (apparently it hit her very hard when we left) and so she busied herself with ministry and meetings in search of comfort and affirmation of her faith.
this didn't work for her and she came out with an unexpected question... .
Not a "what", but a "who".
John 6: 68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
John 14: 6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus Christ.
elderly ones, a blessing to the young.
do you associate often with people younger than you?
q1, 2) what should elderly servants of god appreciate, and what will we now consider?.
Hi Blondie, my heart cringes at all the people who are wasting away their youth and God-given talents with the prospects of petting lions and elephants.
comments you will not hear at the 7-1-07 wt study (may 15, 2007, pages 21-25)(suffering soon to end).
where is the love?.
17) "god is love.
What a bland and useless article. God is love indeed, but is first and foremost Holy, Holy, Holy. Isaiah 6:3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." Rev 4:8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." Blondie, yes, they do not Jesus Christ. Rev 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
good evening,.
i am a virgin to this forum do bear with me!.
i am curious who visits.
Disassociated How long after going to ministerial school did you stop attending?
loyal to christ and his faithful slave.
what interesting points: cross, christmas, pyramid.
q12, 13) what scriptural reasons are there for showing respect for the slave class?.
Thanks for the review Blondie and thanks to other posters!
It's quite clear though. If Jesus is the truth, way, and life and whoever accepts or rejects the Son, does the same to the Father, then JW's ought to realize the 'Slave' can make no amends between the Father and humanity. Jesus Christ is the only one, not him PLUS someone else.
Besides, the Organization and other false prophets are already damned.
Ezekiel 3:8 "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign LORD."
