  Need newest updated info on societys view of Disfellowshiped one

  by annalice in

  i have heard from a friend that this most recent assembly had a new publication released that has some info in it discussing the treatment of disfellowshipped ones.

  i know that a new song book was issued out but had not heard of anyother new publications.

  at this time what is the society telling their flock to do pertaining to those disfellowshipped ones.

  The first sentence of that article chaps my arse. First of all, while unrepentant ones are disfellowshipped, I know of several people that have gone to the brothers to confess their sins because they feel bad about what they did and are also disfellowshipped. The whole thing is whacked.

  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.
