  has anyone stopped to think what jesus was really saying to the jews?

  jesus also says that you have neither seen nor heard him.

  well the ot speaks of how the jews on several occassions not only saw gods ass (backside) but also heard him speak.

  You need to support that statement with scripture. Is there a scripture where Jesus said noone has ever heard the Father?

  Problem with an elder

  by Zico in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have a friend in my congregation.

  he's completely indoctrinated, and genuinely believes everything the organisation teaches, but he's still a good person, and he stands up for things when he knows somethings wrong.

  as you can imagine, this often causes problems, and there is an arrogant elder who he has had many run ins with in the past.

  QUANDRY

  Im not young. I have been around long enough to know whats happening. I thought I gave him good avise. Advise from the bible. If he has done what is expected on his part by Jehovah then his conscience should be clean and he should be happy

  Agape is living in a dream world where the elders are always the spiritual shepherds they are supposed to be. Have you read some of the posts on this forum? Some of the elders love to "Lord it over others" for whatever reasons. Obviously this man has power because he is able to keep your friend from being a MS

  Have you read my posts to him. If so you need to read them again.

  Zico i dont know if it will be successful. Judging on how you discribe the Elder, not likely. BUT your friend will be successful! If He will do things Jesus way, know matter the outcome, He did what what right in Jehovahs eyes and thats all that counts.

  Zico, first off I would like to say that you are a good friend. Your concern for him is commendable! However I am a bit confused as to why you use the term "WE" when talking about what can be done about the situation, seeing that you are not a Witness. Unfortunately this is your friends battle. My suggestion would be to teel your friend to do things Jesus way. When handling problems or disputes Jesus gives great counsel and I am sure your friend knows what it is. Here it is........

  Matthew 5:23

  "If, then, you are bringing your gift to the altar and you there remember that your brother has something against you, 24

  leave your gift there in front of the altar, and go away; first make your peace with your brother, and then, when you have come back, offer up your gift.

  Mathew 18:15-17

  15

  "Moreover, if your brother commits a sin, go lay bare his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two more, in order that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter may be established. 17 If he does not listen to them, speak to the congregation. If he does not listen even to the congregation, let him be to you just as a man of the nations and as a tax collector.
