Looking for Watchtower Quotations
by Vanderhoven7 inthis thread could be used regularly for people looking for specific quotations from watchtower literature.. right now i'm looking for a quotation which says it is the duty of clergy to point out errors in wt messages.. there is also one which says that religions which claim to offer salvation to millions should allow scrutiny..

w57 6/15 p. 370 par. 7 - It is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice of God,
g84 8/22 p. 28 From Our Readers - The Catholic Church occupies a very significant position in the world and claims to be the way of salvation for hundreds of millions of people. Any organization that assumes that position should be willing to submit to scrutiny and criticism. *
w08 4/15 p. 6 par. 18 - The aged apostle John gave fine counsel in this regard. (John 4:1) In harmony with John’s counsel, we always encourage those we meet in the preaching work to test what they have been taught by comparing it with the Bible. That is a good rule for us too. *
g91 4/8 p. 23 - Test your beliefs against God’s Word. Honest self-examination, comparing your beliefs with the Scriptures, will help you determine if your faith will pass the all-important test of God’s approval.
* Contradicted by:
km 9/07 p. 3 Question Box - Does “the faithful and discreet slave” endorse independent groups of Witnesses who meet together to engage in Scriptural research? No, it does not. 🤣

w98 12/15 p. 18 par. 10 - Jehovah has committed the ministry of reconciliation to the anointed, so Paul could say: “We (the "anointed class") are therefore ambassadors substituting for Christ, as though God were making entreaty through us. (the "anointed class") As substitutes for Christ we (the "anointed class") beg: ‘Become reconciled to God.’” (2 Corinthians 5:20)
No need to even tick a box each month. Woo-hoo! 😁

My grandmother called my mother
by Anony Mous inso, i’m just posting this as a warning to lurking jws.
if you’re still on the fence, here is a story.. my grandmother, now in her 80s hasn’t talked to anyone in the family for over 20 years ever since my mother was the last one of her children that left ‘the truth’, she had sent my mother a card to never talk to her again.
so here we are 21 years later, she gets a call out of the blue that she needed help, she hadn’t been able to get into her kitchen.

(John 13:35) "By this all will know that you are my disciples -
if you knock on doors & preach the good news of the kingdomif you have love among yourselves." -

A City Having Real Foundations.
by LostintheFog1999 insomeone asked me recently when did i start to have doubts as an elder about what i was teaching from the platform.. i have given it a lot of thought and i can say that it was when i was delivering a public talk about the book of hebrews.
so i paused and read it again.. i looked at the audience and said to them let's look at the cross-reference for this verse which is hebrews 12:22 and i read that verse.
after which i remember saying "and this is how the outline puts it.... " and i read from the outline verbatim.. abraham was not looking forward to an earthly kingdom hope.

@ Blondie: "...see how the first-century governing body discussed and resolved a dispute with the help of the Scriptures and holy spirit."
This is what the
faithfulevil slave says. but not what the Scriptures say:bt chap. 13 p. 103 - "....the first-century governing body settled the circumcision issue..."
Galatians 2:1-6 shows that it was the apostle Paul who was used to resolve the issue, being directed by a revelation to teach the older men in Jerusalem - not the other way around. (especially verses 2 & 6)
1 ...after 14 years I again went up to Jerusalem with Bar?na·bas, also taking Titus along with me.
2 I went up as a result of a revelation, and I presented to them the good news that I am preaching among the nations.
3 Nevertheless, not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, although he was a Greek.
4 But that matter came up because of the false brothers brought in quietly, who slipped in to spy on the freedom we enjoy in union with Christ Jesus, so that they might completely enslave us;
5 we did not yield in submission to them, no, not for a moment, so that the truth of the good news might continue with you.
6 But regarding those who seemed to be important whatever they were makes no difference to me, for God does not go by a man’s outward appearance - those highly regarded men imparted nothing new to me.
