  Is the Governing Body the Only Channel of Communication between God and Men?

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  let's take my questions one at a time (since you said i had posted too many on my other thread):.

  * can you please explain to me, using only the bible, why anyone should believe that today's governing body of jehovah's witnesses (or the "faithful slave class" of the jehovah's witnesses), is the "sole channel of communication" between god and men?.

  * in addition, can you explain why we should believe that christ's parable of the "faithful and discreet slave" was predicting a "class" of anointed christians who would give orders to all other christians, instead of simply teaching that faithful christians will be rewarded by christ when he returns?.

  I've posed this same question to my die-hard pioneer MIL and cannot get her to give me an answer based on the bible. She will spout off the answer that comes from a magazine but when pressed to use JUST scriptures from the bible, it can't be done.

  I asked her one time how we know that the Christian Greek scriptures are meant for the anointed only and she could not answer that one either, which goes along with Jesus not being the mediator for all mankind but just the anointed. I always found that one very hard to swallow.

  Thanks mouthy for posting, I had not seen it.

  I've never been df'd but I have family members who were and they are never the same. Its such a cruel form of punishment, maybe if witnesses hear of this they will rethink shunning on an individual basis.
