Their references from the Bible on this particular topic are quite weak, indeed.

"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

Governing Body's Doctrinal Errors Vs. Jesus Apostles' so called errors under the guidance of the Holy Spirit?
by I_love_Jeff inif 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.

"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.” 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.

What if a Jehovah's Witness lives next door to an apostate? Is he/she told to hate him/her by direct order from the Watchtower
by I_love_Jeff insurely 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."
Meaning of neighbor in Greek-#4139 πλησ?ον plesion {play-see'-on} neuter of a derivative of pelas (near); TDNT - 6:311,872; adv
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

Which Watchtower do the Jehovah's Witnesses serve: north, south, east, or west?
by I_love_Jeff inhttp://sacredwicca.jigsy.com/watchtowers .
(my guess is the south watchtower which is associated with michael, one of the four archangels.).
don't miss the "history of the watchers" section that mentions "those who are awake!
