The term "Governing Body" is not in the Bible. They tend to squirm out of such reasoning with something like this, "the word 'Bible' is not in the Holy Scriptures but you still say it, right?" "The Holy Scriptures" (2 Tim. 3:15) is a reference to the 'Bible'. What information is in the "Holy Scriptures" that give us an explanation of the term 'Governing Body'?
"Holy Scriptures" is to "Bible" like "Governing Body" is to ??? The Apostles perhaps??
I do not see the correlation
does jehovah's witnesses' understanding of "proper hate" justify satan's cause?
if the apostles were guided by the holy spirit, how could they have made any doctrinal errors as mentioned by many jehovah's witnesses?
the governing body has admitted to making doctrinal errors and state that " you might as well condem jesus' apostles as well since they too had made errors.
i have read that the apostles had only made behavior mistakes not errors in doctrinal writings.. "the new testament makes it abundantly clear that doctrinal error can lead to eternal damnation.. didache is a noun found thirty times in the new testament to mean doctrine, teaching.
Thank you Terry. I took your questions and put them up on Yahoo answers in hopes of getting through to at least one Jehovah's Witnesses. Those JWs are utterly confused and need some serious help.

Didache is a noun found thirty times in the New Testament to mean “doctrine,” “teaching.” Didaskalia is a synonym for didache, and denotes “doctrine,” or “teaching” throughout the nearly twenty occurrences of the term. The teaching or doctrine of Jesus Christ comes through his words revealed in his personal ministry and ASSURED TO the apostles and prophets in the first century through the work of the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 16:12-13). The Lord Jesus declared his Word to be the standard by which all people living today will be judged (John 12:48). One cannot reject him or his teaching and remain guiltless."
Governing Body operates under guidance of Holy Spirit as a collective group, after prayer. Does Jehovah direct what appears in the Watchtower journals? Obviously not, since so much has been wrong.

surely there must be many jehovah's witnesses out there that live next door or near an "apostate"?????
do they love them and follow the words of jesus christ or hate them as the watchtower suggests?
how would a jehovah's witness respond to this?

Mark 12:31-"The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
1) a neighbour 1a) a friend 1b) any other person, and where two are concerned, the other (thy fellow man, thy neighbour), according to the Jews, any member of the Hebrew race and commonwealth 1c) according to Christ, any other man irrespective of race or religion with whom we live or whom we chance to meet

don't miss the "history of the watchers" section that mentions "those who are awake!

jehovah's witness states: "the word 'disgusting' is always applied to false religious practices - and it's appropriate to point out god's feelings about them.".

Good point cobalt, I agree!!
titus 2:13- "while we wait for the blessed hope-the appearing of the glory of our great god and savior, jesus christ, " .
the part in question lies at the end of the passage "...of our great god and savior, jesus christ,".
*granville sharp's rule-when you have two nouns, which are not proper names (such as cephas, or paul, or timothy), which are describing a person, and the two nouns are connected by the word "and," and the first noun has the article ("the") while the second does not, *both nouns are referring to the same person.. this, as far as i know, has been an ongoing argument among trinitarians and non trinitarians for a very long time.

Many non Trinitarians have stated that Sharp's rule is absolute rubbish BUT with no proof to actually disprove the rule. I find this passage quite interesting for obvious reasons-Is God three persons or one?
Greg Stafford points out the prepositions BUT did not explain in detail how this grammatical arraingment ("of") came about. Where did the preps. come from? Were they purposely added or is that arraingment found in ancient texts?. Any thoughts, please.
