I am really liking these Aussies!
They saw through the WT Bull$hit, here are two examples that I found after skimming through the pdf
1)
In the light of such doctrinal teachings, it is submitted that the message published to
members of the Jehovah’s Witness organisation about their relationship with secular
authorities is not as simple as that described by Messrs Toole and Spinks. It is submitted
that, in fact, the organisation presents its members with conflicting and ambiguous
teachings regarding their relationship with secular authorities, thereby fostering a
distrust of such authorities.
2)
Similarly, when asked if the Governing Body members saw themselves as ‘Jehovah God’s
spokespeople on earth’, Mr Jackson did not answer, instead telling the Royal
Commission that it ‘would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only
spokesperson that God is using’.21 Mr Jackson’s professed humility is not, however,
supported by the Jehovah’s Witness organisation’s own publications. The organisation’s
handbook for members, Organised to Do Jehovah’s Will, teaches with reference to the
‘faithful and discreet slave’ (and thus, the Governing Body)22 for instance, that the
congregation hopes to ‘draw ever closer to Jehovah by manifesting complete trust in
the channel that He is using to direct His people today’.23 A confidential manual
produced by the Governing Body and entitled Branch Organization January 2015 (the
2015 Branch Organization Manual) records that the Governing Body ‘is organized to
take the lead as Jehovah directs it by Holy Spirit’.24 Thus the Governing Body is believed
by Jehovah’s Witnesses to be the ‘channel’ by which Jehovah’s will is communicated to
the ‘Christian’ congregation and the Governing Body is directed by Jehovah in all that it
does. It was Mr O’Brien’s evidence that the Governing Body is Jehovah God’s
representative on earth providing definitive Scriptural interpretation.
