What I find fascinating about WT apologists like DocHouse is that, while they admit WT teaches falsehood ("baloney", in DH's words), they simultaneously declare it is a truthful organization. While they declare WT must be followed, and come to an apostate website to shout it from the rooftops, they also claim to have knowledge and truth the WT hasn't figured out yet.
I have ALWAYS taken the WTBS dates with a BARREL of salt - DocHouse
But, DH, the organization you are defending says you cannot take its teachings with "a barrel of salt" and still be considered a loyal JW:
"But anyone who publicly or privately advocates views that are divergent from what appears in the publications of an organization, and who does so while claiming to represent that organization, causes division." (Jv p.629)
You cannot call its teachings "absurd" and "baloney" and still be a part of the group:
"... Jehovah is not pleased if we receive that food as though it might contain something harmful. We should have confidence in the channel God is using." -- W 2-15-81
Ironically, DH says he's discovered real truth by his own study, but WT, whom he defends, says it's impossible to gain any knowledge through independent study:
"No matter how hard and seriously and prayerfully we study, we cannot get the true understanding apart from the organization and the spirit." -- W 8-15-52
"... the Bible is an organizational book and belongs to the Christian congregation as an organization, not to individuals, regardless of how sincerely they may believe that they can interpret the Bible. For this reason the Bible cannot be properly understood without Jehovah’s visible organization in mind." -- W 10-1-67, p.587
"A mature Christian must be in unity and full harmony with fellow believers as far as faith and knowledge are concerned. He does not advocate or insist on personal opinions or harbor private ideas when it comes to Bible understanding. Rather, he has complete confidence in the truth as it is revealed by Jehovah God through his Son, Jesus Christ, and the faithful and discreet slave." (Watchtower, August 1, 2001, p. 14).
DocHouse, The WT says that it is the only religion that understands the Bible, and any views that are different than what the organization teaches are wrong. You defend WT yet WT says you are wrong.
How do you explain this?
"Only this organization functions for Jehovah's purpose and to his praise. To it alone God's Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book.
How very much true Christians appreciate associating with the only organization on earth that understands the deep things of God!" --W 7-1-73, p.402
