    The latest wt dated march 15,2002(just got today)
    entitledGood leadership -where can we find it?

    Pg 15under subtitle "be obedient.....Be submissive"

    10 Our leader has given the congregations "gifts
    in men"-some as evangelizers, some as sheperds and teachers."
    (eph. 4:8,11,12) Our attitute and actions toward them speak
    volumes as to whether we accept Christ leadership. It is only right that we 'show ourselves thankful' for the spiritually qualified men that christ has given.(col. 3:15) They also desearve our respect.
    "let the older men who preside in a fine way be reckoned worthy of
    double honor," wrote the apostle paul.(1 tim 5:17) How can we display
    our graditute and esteem for the older men-elders,or overseers-in
    the congregation? Paul answers:"be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you and be submissive."(heb. 13:17) Yes, we are to
    obey them and be submissive,to yeild, to them.
    11 Our leader is perfect. The men he has given as gifts
    are not. So they may err at times. Yet, it is vital that we
    remain loyal to christ's arrangment.In fact,living up to our
    dedication and baptism means that we recognize the legitimacy of
    spirit-appointed authority in the congregation and willingly
    submit to it.Our baptism 'in the name of the holy spirit' is
    a public declaration that we recognize the holy spirit
    and acknowledge the role it plays in jehovahs purposes.
    (matt. 28:19) Such a baptism implies that we cooperate with the
    spirit and do nothing to hinder its operation among christ's
    followers. Since the holy spirit plays a vital role in the
    recommendation and appointment of elders, can we really
    be faithful to our dedection if we fail to cooperate with the
    elder arrangement in the congregation.

    This make me sick. YOU JUST CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

    p.s. theres more but i cant type, and my fingers are tired.

    Is it any wonder then that most of the Elders are pompous, arrogant, self-righteous SOB's. The WTS is creating MONSTERS with this kind of rhetoric!

    One MS I was buddies with used to joke about that group of men (elders) who THINK they've been apppointed by holy spirit.

    I am a GB spy sent by the Watchtower check on all of you. I drugged and tied up the person you all know as gilwarrior and made him give his password. We have spys everywhere. Even people who you least expect. You will all go back to the JWs and you will do what they tell you. With out any questions asked. Your apostate messages will be silenced...by any means necessary!

    this is your last chance!

    Even when we see them screwing up, we are still supposed to do whatever the "authority" says - without question. Otherwise you are not being loyal to gawd himself.

    this article made me think of how they also apply to this to marriage....your wife may see you screwing up, but the husband has the final say...my marriage is broken down like this 50% me and 50% her. screw the WTS.

    i served in a so called "spirit appointed" position for 4-5 years. just before i removed myself from the position, i was being paraded in front of the c.o. for appointment as an elder. the very next meeting i resigned.

    it had been evident to me all along that it was who you knew, not holy spirit that directed your uprising in the organization.

    why?

    because holy spirit would never allow someone to be appointed when all along i was doing something that i could be d.f.ed for.

    i was a closet smoker.
