Sandy, I use to think this was God's organization until I saw the cover up with the pedophile issue and logged on to silentlambs .org
I use to think this was God's organization until I read Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz in which thousands have died because of organizational decrees.
I use to think this was God's organization until I read and heard of how families are torn apart from the shunning issue, again being an organizational decree decided by a 2/3 vote. could you imagine Jesus ever shunning someone?
How could God approve of such disgusting things that go on with in.
remember Revelation: get out of her my people, that could very well apply to them.
I do pray, but I don't use the name Jehovah, simply because I could be misprouncing it. I pray through Jesus. He said anyone excersising faith in me will have everlasting life, I don't think it takes a man made organization to do that. Look at Abraham did he have such an organization?

however, it must be observed that this "faithful and discreet slave" was Never inspired, never perfect. Those writings by certain members of the "slave" class that came to form the Christian part of God's word were inspired and infallible, but that is Not True of other writings since.
meaning they have no more spiritual insight on them than you or I.
