"The organisation is imperfect, but it doesn't affect my relationship with Jehovah"

by Alive! in

i've noted active, devoted jw's state the above.. and, it's not a problem for me to remain trusting of god, i just don't trust religions or men.. recently, a member of this forum stated that he remains an active jw, in the family of god's people, wanting to encourage and do good - whilst recognising that the pastoral leaders (the gb) have shipwrecked the faith of many, being unsound scripturally etc, etc.. stop and think about this - the bible says to not follow after those who lie and hurt the faith of "little ones".. the pharisees were accused of traversing over lands and expending much energy to make a single convert - only for that convert to end up worse of than he started off with.. it's one thing to not believe this is the 'truth' and feeling the awful pressure of managing ones life, trying not to lose ones family.. it's quite another thing to declare oneself to be a christian believer of god's jw household, and somehow believe the god of love would use corrupt liars to parade as jesus' brothers in the urgency of last days.

really?

and, to then visibly promote faith in corrupt men, and try to bring converts into a place where the rulership is wrong.. some of us are dying from hurt here.......give me a break..

I'm saddened (but hardly surprised) to see the personal attacks levied against one another in this thread. I completely agree with Brother Jeramy, and I'm only posting this comment to let him know that he's not alone. There are many of us who are also aware of the Governing Body i.e. "the man of lawlessness" that resides in Jehovah's "temple". (2 Thess. 2:1-12; 1 Corinthians 3:17)

I don't intend to get involved in a debate here, as the lack of respect and common courtesy would make that a waste of my time and energy.

Again, Brother Jeramy, you are NOT alone. May Jehovah continue to bless your absolute faith in Him, as it NEVER leads to disappointment.
