Why do witnesses “need help“ to come back to Jehovah?
Why does someone who is willing to actually get down on his knees and pray to come back, need help to do so? Can’t he walk?
Why did Silvio need those elders “to begin providing him with the help he needed to return”? Why not just go on to church and begin worshipping? Go to the Kingdom Hall?
Because witnesses can’t just go to Jesus and worship.....they have to work hard for it. There’s no grace...it’s just work work work and beg beg beg forgiveness. Maybe he’s disfellowshipped in which case it may take years for him to be accepted by the congregation. Even if he has not committed a DF sin he would still need to “study” things he’s probably known for 30 years or more!!! Even then he still needs to prove himself to the congregation by attending months of meetings, and going out for hours and hours of field service, before he can be accepted.
Because he’s not really returning to his god....he’s retraining for his old position in the firm. Just like a job they need to make sure he is still qualified!!!
