:Example: The Bible says: "Jesus is standing amidst congregations and he gave letters to congregations and he is the leader of them. So we must serve with him in the
congregations."
Translation: Be a member in good standing of the Watch Tower Corporation and follow it's suggestions and guidelines on issues where the Bible is silent like organ
transplants. All is well.
I am not a member of the WTC and it does not have guidelines on organ transplants.
I was talking about Jesus( someone foreign to apostates like you). He was leading the congregations before the was a WTC.
:However, when Watch Tower Society is obviously in error, like date setting, Witnesses are able to shift to another compartment and make comments like: "So what if
they said that. No one recognizes that they have the power to fulfill that promise."
Which is fact and true. Because we don't worship or follow the GB or WTC.
:When the group leaders are right, the member is a group member and is serving God with fellow Christians. When the group leaders are wrong, the members never
were serving an organization.
FYI, the Watchtower is not the organization. So if the group leaders of the WT are wrong. So what? They are not our leaders, Jesus is. He is not wrong. But then you know not him.
: They then say; "Only a fool would serve an organization". They are serving Jehovah directly, independent from the organization. See the
twist?
We are not serving an organization, we are serving with an organzation. See your narrowness.
:Also,when Jehovah's Witnesses are in company of other Witnesses, they often behave very differently than when they are posting anonymously on a bbs or in a private
discussion. Almost schizophrenic. In company of other Witnesses these discussions do not happen and they know it. They simply just turn their backs and walk away.
Or they lie and say: "I'll do some research on it and I'll get back to you." Of course that's the last you ever see of them.
Wrong bucko.
