Its the scripture in Proverbs about the path of the righteous one is like a lamp that gets brighter.
Of course a careful reading indicates it would apply to a person searching for righteousness, not a God appointed organization that has to flip flop on prophecies they have made because they were completely wrong.

Scriptural Basis for Obedience to GB?
by mrhhome ini have a genuine question for the jw apologist.
.
what is your scriptural justification for your unquestioning obedience to the governing body and your unwillingness to question their intepretation of scripture?.

mrhhome, JWs will argue that the GB/FDS was appointed by Jesus based on Matthew 24:45-47.
If you can get a JW to question whether this scripture really appoints an organization to do Jesus' bidding, you can knock down the whole house of cards.
A great essay on the subject from Peter Gregerson:

In Reading Over My DA Letter Of 9 Years Ago, This morning...
by Littleleslie inthis morning after coffee, in reading over my da letter from jehovah's witnesses which i posted publicly on the net, (june 2nd, 2005 exactly nine [9] years this day), i noticed something interesting, something that i said about the "wine of her fornication" [rev.
14:8; 17:2; 18:3] that could be given even greater attention to today, more so than when i wrote about it back then.
i wrote in my da letter:.

The FDS as a group
by scary21 inif the governing body is only the fds in a group, does that mean the ( real ) fds only came about in the 70's when they started governing?
( as a group).
before that it was a one man rule, not a group.

Another Totalitarian Analogy
by metatron ini've spoken privately with some witnesses over the past couple weeks and it caused me to think about an analogy.
i turn to totalitarian examples because that's the basic structure of the 'truth'.. as nazi germany encountered defeat, several things happened.
some higher ups sought to escape into surrender in the west because they realized defeat was inevitable.

These comparisons to a nation like Nazi Germany or N. Korea are a false analogy.
The WTS doesn't have to control a geographic population, many of whom would be independent thinkers.
They cater to dependent thinkers, people who want their thinking done for them. Probably 30% of the population falls into this category, which of course means that 70% leave the cult when they become adults. The other 30% stay because its comfortable to have someone else tell them what to do on most days of the week.
This cult is 140 years old. Its not going anywhere.

So if A WATCHERs congo was to pay off the old mortgage at $1100 a month, they would have paid it off in 7.5 years.
Under the new $900 payment, it would take 9.25 years. So unless Armageddon comes before then, you get fleeced every year thereafter until Armageddon comes.
BTW, why did your elders disobey the instruction in the letter to pay what you were already paying?

Why so many unbelieving spouses?
by garyneal ini had been thinking about religion and religious services in general and perhaps i am just noticing it more because of my personal involvement but it seems that the jehovahs witness religion tends to have more incidents of mixed marriages where one partner is considered the unbelieving spouse than other religions or churches.
of course, i have not been to church is a while and even when i did go to church i found that there werent as many instances of a spouse going it alone in the church without their partner.
i guess that is partly why i got discouraged in going to church as i felt like i could only bring half my family to it.. the main thing i would like to discuss, though, is why does there seem to be a higher number of mixed marriages within this religion as opposed to other religions.

I don't think there are more mixed marriages in the JW population compared to the world.
The problem is the strain caused by one partner being a part of a cult which demands the first place in the person's life. Add to that the shit doctrine (holidays, birthdays, all unbelievers will die) and you have a recipe for disaster.
