HE SAID vs SHE SAID

Terry

I'd like to see a chart or list that contrasts what the GOVERNING BODY has given as a rule CONTRASTED with what Jesus taught.

JESUS:

: "Truly.....let your "yes" mean yes and your "no" mean no, but all the while be in Truth in Love."

Governing Body:

"While malicious lying is definitely condemned in the Bible, this does not mean that a person is under obligation to divulge truthful information to people who are not entitled to it." - (Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 2

Any others that come to mind?

Jesus:

(Matthew 26:26-28) As they continued eating, Jesus took a loaf and, after saying a blessing, he broke it and, giving it to the disciples, he said: "TAKE, eat. This means my body." Also, he took a cup and, having given thanks, he gave it to them, saying: "Drink out of it, all of YOU; for this means my ?blood of the covenant,? which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins.

Governing Body:

*** w76 2/1 p. 75 "Keep Doing This in Remembrance of Me" ***
Who should partake of the emblems? Only those of the "little flock" are the ones taken into the new covenant and therefore required to partake of the emblems. (Luke 12:32) It was the eleven faithful apostles who, as the small group of prospective anointed ones, comprised the nucleus of those later to be taken into the new covenant on Pentecost day of 33 C.E. (Luke 22:20) The "great crowd," not being ?new creatures? in the new covenant, are not partakers of the bread and wine on this anniversary occasion.

Good thread Terry.My personal favorite:Matthew 5 23 "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 25 "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

Speaks for itself,what's their problem?

this does not mean that a person is under obligation to divulge truthful information to people who are not entitled to it

this can be read a lot of ways, i certainly don't divulge a lot of truthful information for that very reason, because people aren't entitled to it, and i think that is perfectly natural, what is disturbing is the fact that they had to write it down, as a point of reference... this makes me think it is some sort of justification for withholding information, basically an excuse not to tell the truth in situations where they should.

JESUS on Forgiveness: Seventy times seven.

In Matthew 18:21-22, we read, Then Peter came to him and asked, ?Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times??

?No!? Jesus replied, ?seventy times seven!?

Governing Body: Disfellowshipping and shunning

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the great thread. Here is my contribution, with credit going to Quotes and his website for the watchtower teachings quoted.

He said (John 3 v 16) " For God gave his only begotten Son, that Whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life".

"She" says (the wtbts)

" Do not conclude that there are different roads, or ways, that you can follow to gain life in God's new system. There is only one.....There will be only one organization- that will survive the fast approaching "great tribulation"...

" You must be part of Jehovah's Organization, doing God's will in order to recieve his blessing of everlasting life."

WHOOP, There it is.....someone is lying...Is it the gospel as recorded in the holy scriptures, or is it the proud and exclusive old farts in the wtbts?

Jesus said to his disciples that all authority in heaven and earth had been given to him. If you've got ALL authority in heaven and earth, its impossible to get any more authority. You would be king of everything.

WTS says that Jesus didn't begin reigning as king until nineteen hundred years after Jesus said he already had all authority.
