designs and 00DAD - Thanks for bringing up the contribution thing. It's pretty disgusting how even asking about such a thing upsets the die hards.
I only reached the rank of ministerial servant, but I heard this talked about by an elder personally and then also read it here.
As 00DAD said, it is indeed a double standard in comparison to what is expected of the congregations.
But if you don't obey, you just make the slave's work more difficult, and also anger God!

despite being an open atheist amongst lots of religious people in my life, i have never been accused of doing this and i have never heard this saying attributed to my choice... appart from here.. i thought it would be best to clarify why i (and i assume others) decided to leave the bible behind after leaving the wt society.. realising the wt society was wrong desroyed my world, for me it meant so much.
i had given so much to it too, it just had to be true!

00DAD - Great revision. Makes perfect sense. But know you've proven yourself contrary to the "slave"!
LOL Thanks for the comment.

@ knowsnothing - Are you suggesting God did not have an organization back in the day?
But I thought the GB said...? Aw, forget it. LOL

The real bible??
As was already pointed out earlier in this thread by another poster, unless you read the Bible, there is no other source to know about God/Christ.
So how can most believers, per your comment, look at the "unreal" Bible available to all, since they don't have your copy/version, and say they know Christ?
