:Mystikool,
You said "No loyal jw would obey this "new light" you talk about. We believe that we should obey God rather than man."
Sorry to disagree with ya, bud. The reason I left the WT is because one night during KMS, an elder told the congregation that complete faith in Jehovah's organization was required. That included jumping off the bridge if the WTS told us to.:
Did you note how we qualified our words? We said that "no loyal jw" would obey the kinda new light you talking about. A loyal jw obeys God before man. Matthew 4:1-11 ought to ring a bell in any loyal jw head. We have been taught to obey God from bible and fds. That is what loyal jw do.
:Huh? Thanks but no thanks. That was when I realised that the organization was trying to brain-wash me.:
Maybe the elder was extreme. Where does magazine say jump off building if we tell you to? That be absurd.
:This wasn't long after the disaster at Jonestown Guyana. Rember Jim Jones and the poison kool aid?:
We heard about it.
:I recently mentioned what that elder said to a current JW acquaintance of mine in Canada. He agreed that most JW's would do whatever the WTS said including going to Madagascar to meet the UFO's if that is what the society wanted. He said, who is to say what Jehovah will want us to do when the end comes? Only the organization knows and we must be obedient to the faithful and discreet slave.:
God's bible tell me to make sure of all things. I ain't going to Madagascar for no man. Unless he can show me where God's bible telle me to go to Madgascar.
