On page 20 of this Watchtower, the final paragraph states:
After Israel's deliverance from Egypt, Moses regularly served as judge. (Exodus 18:13-16) Since a judgment in favor of one individual would probably have been against another, it is not hard to imagine that some were disappointed by Moses' decisions. Finding fault with Moses' judgments perhaps contributed to some instances of rebellion against his leadership. However, Jehovah was using Moses to lead His people, and He punished, not Moses, but the rebels and their families who supported them. (Numbers 16:31-35) We can learn from this by striving to respect and cooperate with decisions made by those with theocratic authority today.
Compare what this Watchtower said with what Jesus said at Matthew 23:1, 2, NWT:
The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the seat of Moses.
As admitted in The Watchtower, the leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses have placed themselves in the seat of Moses! Their decisions are equal to the decisions of Moses. Disappointment with elder decisions is equal to disappointment with Moses. Finding fault with a wrong decision by the elders will bring punishment, not upon the elders, but upon those who see the decision as wrong. Finding fault classifies one as a "rebel" and will bring punishment even upon families that sympathize with those who view the decision as wrong. The "theocratic authority" of those appointed by the Watchtower Society is equal to the theocratic authority of Moses! SUCH A CLAIM IS INDEED EXTREMELY ARROGANT AND PRESUMPTUOUS!

Oh MAN are they ever annoyed in Brooklyn!
by MinisterAmos ini called the information dept politely asking if mr brown was still a witness after commiting verbal apostasy during the interview with ldh.. i got transferred to one of their legal staff and he dropped the "f" bomb and hung up!
i on the other hand was a complete gentleman.. i would call this a golden opportunity to play up what has to be one of the most embarrasing moments for the dub leadership but is actually an important issue that any current dubz should be concerned about.
what is the actual policy of the org?

why don't you read a little more of what reluctant scholars (real scholars) have concluded about the veracity of scripture?
And where is the well-laid-out beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt evidence that the anti-Bible guys are the "real" scholars?

the passage in question is generally viewed as an interpolation (addition) to the text of Matthew, or if the passage was original it did not contain the words in discussion.
There is a lot of support for this view at the following webpage:
http://formerjw.homestead.com/mt19.html
Would this apply to the father and the son also? Something don't quite jive here.
It should be noted that the expression is "in the name [singular, not plural]." The Father and Jesus do not share the same name. The Father is never called Jesus, for example. In Bible times the notion of “name” had a significance it does not have today. As pointed out above, "name" had the meaning of "authority." What doesn't jive is the insistence of some that "name" here means the same as it does in English.
