"Jesus’ warning was against following Jesus impersonators, not against followers uttering what they think to be true to the best of their ability. I find nothing in Jesus’ answer for a sign that so muzzles Jesus’ followers."

Hi Friend:

I see no problem in persons uttering a view according to "what they think to be true to the best of their ability." But the Society, claiming to be the one and only true channel, has not stated things regarding Jesus' Return with the impression that the statement was "what they think to be true to the best of their ability" as my first post shows: "We can be happy, therefore, for JESUS' ASSURANCE that there will be survivors of the 'generation of 1914'—that this generation will not have completely passed away—when the 'great tribulation' rings down the curtain on this wicked world system." In this Luke 21:8 is fitting. Under the Society’s directives, elders in a judicial committee disfellowship for APOSTASY any sincere Christian who doesn't agree with what it publishes "to be true to the best of their ability" even if in good conscience you believe differently regarding certain issues that are 'true to the best of your ability.' I served as the presiding overseer in a Spanish congregation in Brooklyn before I disassociated myself this month. My story and DA letter is posted here:

It is my conviction that the only "sign" that Jesus gave for the imminence of his Parousia or Return ("coming") is what HE states in Matthew 24:30: "And then the SIGN of the Son of man will appear in heaven...and they will see the Son of man coming..."
