If a person walked up to you one day and started telling you what to do, how to do it, and threatening you if you refused, wouldn't you immediately ask them by what Authority they had such a right? Wouldn't you want to see a badge? Credentials? A uniform and the citing of some Law?
Certainly you would! Otherwise, you'd tell them to get the hell out of your face.
And yet...
7 million people on this planet listen to every word published, spoken or taught by a very small group of old men. These 7 million people will even go so far as to die defending what those men tell them! They will allow their own children to die because of what those old men say should be done!
These obedient millions will march against their own family society, state or Nation and do the very opposite of their fellow man simply because those few old men have told them it is the only right course of action!
Weird?
Welcome to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Who or what "governs" the teachings of this so-called GOVERNING BODY?
The Jehovah's Witness Governing Body has made certain that specific teachings have been taught as True Doctrines of the True Faith only to turn around later and change those True Doctrines of the True Faith to something different.
If holy spirit were leading them to these teachings we must ask: which time were they led? When it was wrong, or, now that it is presumably right?
The Watchtower Society refers to these changes by calling them "adjustments" as though it were a sharpening of a fuzzy focus. Yet, changing a doctrine to its opposite is hardly that. An opposite teaching repudiates the one it replaces! This means one is determined FALSE in order that the newer one be TRUE.
If Jehovah or Jesus were actually directing this Governing Body to "govern" (or "control") the teachings from one thing to its opposite, would it not
change the definition of TRUTH into "Whim" instead?
What governs the Governing Body?
A sudden change of mind that is unexplained is a "Whim".
When 1925 was publicly "marked" as the year of resurrection for ancient faithful men of old and later repudiated, this was "Whim".
It was never
E-X-P-L-A-I-N-E-D
as to how the wrong conclusion was allowed to pass by the attention of holy spirit guidance, Jesus Christ approval and Jehovah soverign direction!
The same could be said of the huge publicity campaign targeting 1975 as the "end of six thousand years of human history". It went unexplained how
the year could be so important that it was the center of JW attention only to fade into silence.
Was Jehovah not paying attention when he directed the Governing Body to publish the error? Was holy spirit asleep at the wheel? Was Jesus off ruling some other corner of the universe?
If 1925 and 1975 needed to be taught, believed, published and embraced obediently we must ask what was TRUE about the TRUTH contained in those messages that the very opposite became reality instead?
WHIM!
What source of authority could the Governing Body or anointed leadership or "faithful and discreet" slave point to to JUSTIFY such errors being taught as TRUTH leading to eternal life??
It went without any explanation at all!! WHIM
When "New Light" comes along no explanation is given how the "Old Light" got inserted in the pipeline in the first place.
What was the process, for example, that made Governing Body members vote "Yes" on wrongly interpreting Romans 13:1 as--not the Governments of the World--but, as being Jehovah God and Jesus Christ?
What was the process for that same Governing Body members to vote "No" on the same interpretation?
How could it be explained that so-called false religions of Christendom had it right all along when Jehovah's spirit did not reside with them??
WHIM!
There are never any answers given. Why? Because the teachings of the Governing Body are mere WHIMS.
They are not adjustments which sharpen a fuzzy understanding into a clear understanding. They are guesses and wrong interpretations based
on faulty reasoning eventually refuted by circumstance which repudiate them.
Old men making things up tell gullible people what to think and how to act all around the world.
Some of the things these old men teach lead to people dying or losing their loved ones unnecessarily.
Why? Because they are defrauding people with false claims about their own power and authority.
There is no GOVERNING BODY which channels Jehovah's true teachings. There are only phony claims.
Those who claim to be "anointed" by holy spirit have no special insight, understanding, clearer interpretation or jurisdiction over truth.
How do we know?
We know because they have PROVED IT by being wrong again and again without explanation!
The Truth, for them is WHIM.
