Wayne,
Reading your posts has made a lot of questions pop into my mind. Answer them as you see fit.
Here are some quotes from your posts:
And it is consoling that God is the final judge of who inherits eternal life--not any man nor any body of elders.
Once more I'll state that Jehovah is the one making an estimate of hearts and he does NOT discriminate against women.
My question regarding those 2 quotes is:
I know that JWs do not belive in the Trinity. After Jesus was resurrected, he said that ALL authority over the heaven and earth were given to him, by Jehovah. He also siad that Jehovah judges no one, and the Jehovah committed all the judging to him. He told us to stop judging one another, and to stop condemming one another, lest we be jusdged and condemmed ourselves. He knew we are ALL sinners and that was why I think he said not to judge and condemn each other. I'm getting off track here, so I'll ask the question. If you don't believe the trinity, then why are you saying that Jehovah will judge and not Jesus, as the gospel teaches?
When stephenw20 asked you if it was the law of Christ that you follow, or the law of the WBTS, you answered:
Yes, it was the law of Christ. The same law that teaches me not to turn for solice to churches that are nationalistic.
Can you tell me where in the gospel that law is? What is the Law of Christ to you? What do you mean when you say you follow it? How do you follow it?
Also, as far as disfellowhipping goes.....disfellowhipping is likened in the Bible to handing one over to satan. Can you show me from scriptures where Jesus commands us to participate in the evil practice of hand over fellow sinners to satan, who we've judged and condemmed as being unrepentent in their hearts. (remembering that you said that Jehovah is the one who judges our hearts )
also....
No. Jesus Christ knows that none of us are perfect. It will take all of us a very long time to put on the Christlike personality--and the elders are no exception.
Then how can you think that it's ok for elders to disregard why Jehovah gave his Son's life by using scriptures from the Mosiac law BEFORE Jehovah gave his Son's life, to form a judical committee set up to judge a fellow sinner?
So, having been a staunch supporter of the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class for all of these years,..
And it shows.
What you mean is that you have been a staunch supporter of the WBTS Inc. Is that not true? The society did appoint themselves to be the faithful and discreet slave spoken about in the Bible, didn't they?
You can't claim to be a staunch supporter of the "society", and claim to be supporter of the Law of Christ. That would be serving 2 masters. It's impossible to do,with out suffering, seeing as how Jesus says one thing, and the society says another. You really should choose which one you will follow.
peace,
somebody
PS.....And my opoinion is that the WBTS ARE to blame when child molesters get set free to victimize again, after the "2 or more witnesses" rule. The society SHOULD be telling the elders to tell the person who comes to them claiming their child has been molested to CONTACT AUTORITIES. That should be the FIRST thing they tell them. THE society knows that elders are going to follow their rule book ( i.e. the flock book), so the longer they wait to put it the rule book, the longer they are th #1 guilty people as far as how pedophiles are handled and hidden.
