  Jehovah correcting the organization

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  read the account of moses taking the credit for the water provision miracle and that of king david's folly and his consequences.. ...read them.... ...you are still reading.... ...ok now you have that fresh in your mind.. jehovah had a correctional arrangement in place for all his spokesmen.

  story of jonah would work great too.

  the point being that in the bible god has always had this correctional arrangement for the leaders of his earthly organization.. that being said, where did that arrangement go?

  Brotherdan qoute:

  " Read the 9/15/2010 Study issue of the WT. They say that they do not teach Mens thoughts, but Gods. They also say that by following them, we are in fact following Jesus Christ."

  Alice are you saying that brotherdans quote is not true? you say:

  " They are not inspired by God and hence are not infallible, but they rely on God’s infallible Word as the highest authority on earth "

  Alice has anyone ever told you that being anointed with holy spirit, cannot be separated from inspiration, they claim to be of the anointed

  don't they? where is their inspiration?

  who does Jehovah hold accountable?

  by wasblind in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an elder once told me "that if the spiritual food he recieves is wrong, and he follows it ,jehovah will not hold him accountable".

  all through out the bible it incourages a person to test, ask and seek, and to make sure of all things, so how can he not be accountable ?.

  what is the best scripture that would show him that he's accountable for what he recieves.

  Do you know of ones who were mentally ill, that were labled as being demon posessed?

  we have a few mentally ill ones in our congregation, and i don't mean suffering from depression or anxiety.

  i'm not even talking mild bipolar.

  i'm talking really messed up in the head, schizophrenic types, and bipolar withpsychotic features.

  "The GB claim BOTH things. On the one hand, they say they are fallible, imperfect. On the other hand, they say they are the only ones teaching truth and speaking directly for God."

  "I'd like to respond to Alice's claim that the GB do not claim infallibility.

  if they are teaching God's thoughts and by following them we are following Jesus, then they MUST be claiming infallibility."

  You go Brotherdan, keep tellin' it like it is.

  "I think it's necessary, though, that we recognize that we are just as guilty of not making sure of all things before we taught them."

  So true Brotherdan,

  and again welcome aboard

  longhairgal,

  thanks for your post, i seem to think that is what he could have been implying, that the faithful and discreet slave

  would be held accountable, if this is what you're saying, but because the bible states that

  we are free to search for the truth, i for myself am leaning toward the fact that we as individuals are responsible

  for what we take in

  KJV Makes Me Lithpeth

  anyone else find the kjv irritating to read because of the toothless way it's written?

  i'm sure it was written in the vernacular when people simply pulled their rotten teeth out instead of filling them.

  the nkjv is fantastic!

  "Look in the mirror, there's your answer."

  i agree, snowbird.

  Jedi master, thanks for your comment, i'm thinking he's trying to put accountability for his decisions on the ones who

  gave him his spiritual food, i guess. Any way he was a person who i respected very much, and still think fondly of,

  our beliefs just don't match up anymore, i'm just glad i didn't get baptisted, cause i now find so much wrong
