So Christ condemned the traditions of the Mishnah (early Talmud) and those who taught it (Scribes and Pharisees), because the Talmud nullifies the teachings of the Holy Bible. So the modern day Pharisees (Jehovah's Witnesses) have their own compact version of the Mishnah which is the Elder's rule book? Perhaps we can find some similar points made in both books (THe Mishnah and Elders Book?

Why didn't God disfellowship Jesus for breaking the laws of the Talmud?
by I_love_Jeff injesus loathed the talmud and broke as many of its laws as he could on any occasion that presented itself.
so if jesus broke the laws of the talmud, wouldn't he have been disfellowshipped if he did the same thing to the watchtower.
a jehovah's witness can be disfellowshipped or disassociated if he/she breaks this rule in the elder's manual: rebellion against jehovah's organization.. what say you?.

Exodus 31:14-15 "You shall keep the Sabbath, for it is holy unto you: every one that defiles it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever does any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

An example of this was when Jesus healed a man born blind on the Sabbath. In healing him on the Sabbath, Jesus broke one of the most sacred of all Israel's fence laws as the tradition of the elders forbade one to heal on the Sabbath. The Mishna (part of the Talmud) states, "To heal a blind man on the Sabbath it is prohibited to inject wine into his eyes. It is also prohibited to make mud from spittle and smear it on his eyes." With this miracle, Jesus not only healed a man at a forbidden time, but he also did so in a forbidden way. 5

Are the Jehovah's Witnesses able to fully/completely understand the Bible on their own without being dependent on the Elders?
by I_love_Jeff ina popular jehovah's witness on yahoo answers by the name of bar-anerges says:.
can jehovah's witnesses come to a *complete* knowledge of *every* doctrine on their own?
the scriptures and practical experience prove otherwise (we believe that where individuals are isolated, god will judge them by what they do know).how true is this statement?

How true is this statement? Are we not able to read the Bible on our own with the guidance of the Holy Spirit or must we be dependent on Teachers through Orgainzed religion to help us? Didn't Jesus say He would send His Helper to assist us in life? What say you?

Is it fair to say the Jehovah's Witnesses are like that of the Pharisees?
by I_love_Jeff inpharisaic thinking is contrary to the "good news" of what jesus came to bring in himself.
pharisaic thinking and methodology is cultic thinking and methodology.
it includes extra-biblical revelation, authoritarianism, elitism, superiority, pride, exclusivism, separatism, secrecy, legalism, moral and behavioral conformity, isolationism, busyness, critical and hostile attitudes, defensiveness, self-serving, deception, proselytizing, financial exploitation, political attachments, prophetic abuse, etc.

Will some of you give me some examples of how the Jehovah's Witnesses fit into this type of mind frame?
