When do you ever see the authority and jurisdiction of the congregation discussed and elevated like this?
Uhh...Can you say never? So what makes this so different? Why would they subcontract to the congregations these precious and important matters and marks of true Christianity? (I think we know why)
Consider also that the first century "governing body" got involved with that widow situation, like mentioned in paragraph 13:
"Later, a situation developed locally. It was reported that certain “widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution” of food. So the apostles directed the appointment of qualified men who, in turn, made arrangements to ensure that the widows’ needs were adequately and equitably met."
Doesn't this set a precedent? Shouldn't the GB today be setting up committees to handle these needs of the sheep?
Nope. Not according to them. These things are not of their concern.
It is clear what the message of this article is:
"Don't call us for money!"
"Quit screwin' with our best employees.... I mean .....er.... full time servants over this silly parent stuff."
Their self-serving dribble is getting worse and worse.
It is clear they have a very warped view of money. They see the publishers as an endless well of funds that can be tapped anytime. The GB and writing staff have no clue what it takes to make money out here in the real world.
And they sure as heck never take any responsibility for creating these late-in-life financial disasters and obviously feel no obligation before their God to do anything about it.

The Definition of Insanity: LOYALTY TO THE GOVERNING BODY
by Terry inthe definition of insanity boils down to expecting success by repeating actions which cause failure.. .
jehovah's witnesses are expected to prove their loyalty to the organization by believing and practicing what they are told.. does this lead to success or failure?.
ask the thousands of loyal believers who were led to expect armageddon in 1914, 1925, 1975!.

The U.S. should have had more than that 1.4 % sign up as publishers just from children coming of age.

I can't wait to see the numbers for baptisms in the U.S compared to the millions of hours spent in the ministry work.
I actually have my wife interested to see this little math equation when it comes out. I told her this stuff is just busy work. She is starting to wake up.

How about the first study article beating the sheep up with "be more self-sacrificing" and quit being selfish rotten imperfect sinners.
Only to turn around the next week and play nice with a "positve" article.
Tear 'em down, build them back up a little. Typical abuse pattern.

Who is the FDS class from midweek meeting....last night
by Legacy inlast night we had our midweek meeting.
the bible reading was from "who is doing jehovah's will....the part where they asked who was the fds.
i thought because of the past sept. wt, every hand would go up....all you heard were crickets.

Yeah Doug I was thinking that too.
There are tons of holes in their latest "light". They just skip centuries, like it's no big deal.
I think it was too tempting for them to write off Russell and that chapter of craziness from the FDS history. I'm sure they secretly salivated over elevating themselves above the apostles too.
Gotta love the "humility" of all the anointed getting the same reward in heaven. Just sit down and shut up for now though partakers. God said so. LOL

Jude 22-25 JW apologists and anybody else.
by wearewatchingyouman in22 also, continue showing mercy+ to some who have doubts;+23 save them+ by snatching them out of the fire.
but continue showing mercy to others, doing so with fear, while you hate even the garment that has been stained by the flesh.+24 now to the one who is able to guard you from stumbling and to make you stand unblemished+ in the sight of his glory* with great joy,25 to the only god our savior through jesus christ our lord, be glory, majesty, might, and authority for all past eternity and now and into all eternity.
so, then - why does the gb separate those who become doubtful out of fear they will stumble some?

Yeah scriptural reasoning like this highlights the real source of their rules:
"The How to Run a High Control Group Encyclopedia"
Seriously, though, their paranoia speaks volumes. This scripture is working on the basic assumption - the truth should be able to stand on its own - and if God is on your side you have nothing to fear.
But let's be honest. This organization is way past even pretending to have that kind of confidence.
