"I think the problem with many of you here at JWN, was that you had the wrong motives, or an incorrect view of your role within the Christian congregation. You saw yourselves as being taken advantage of when in reality you were being used to advance Kingdom interests. You were thinking from a selfish viewpoint, or as an individual. Really you should have been thinking about how best your individual efforts would serve in the best interest of the organization which Jehovah is using to accomplish His will". QUOTE FROM "STAND FOR PURE WORSHIP"
What is written above is a quote from
Stand for Pure Worship: I am now making my stand!!!!
This kind of self righteous, condescending language is typical of WT spokesmen.
An attempt to "shame" people; first the arrogant assumption that writer can
"read our motives" and "knows us".
Nobody here feels anything like what is described above.
It was the TRUTH that set us free.
The truth about the false doctrines taught by the Watchtower.
These doctrines include:
the idea that the Bilble teaches Christians are in two classes,
which the Bible does not teach. The Bible teaches oneness in God.
The core false doctrine created from one parable, talking about a king
that goes away and leaves his household servants in charge
and comes back and finds some did a good job in his absence
and some did not. From this one parable the Watchtower leaders
constructed a clergy, ruling class, that makes up doctrines, tell us prophesies
and when they don't come true deny they said it. They propose
that they and they alone are the "sole channel of communcation
between mankind and God/Jehovah " This doctrine elevates the Governing Body
to the position of "Mediator".
This makes the Governing Body, the Man of Lawlessness ,
who is standing in the Holy Place, claiming to be the "channel"
by which all mankind can reach God. "The sole channel Jehovah is using."
This is NOT "Pure Worship " It is blasphemy and makes YOU,
the one called "Stand for Pure Worship", an idolator, because you think
an organization is needed as a mediator and therefore
reject Jesus Christ as Mediator, the only mediator, as the Bible informs us.
You trample upon his sacrifes and show contempt for Jehovah
while thinking you are serving Jehovah, that is the ultimate and
most dangerous lie that the Watchtower has seduced you into believing.
HERE is what true religion looks like: according to James: several translations are quoted:
James1:2727 Pure religion, undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
27 External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world.
27 The worship that God wants is this: caring for orphans or widows who need help and keeping yourself free from the world’s evil influence.This is the kind of worship that God accepts as pure and good.
26-27 Anyone who sets himself up as “religious” by talking a good game is self-deceived. This kind of religion is hot air and only hot air. Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world.
