OR - We could just really move on - and find another church entirely ???
As long as your life is lived in reaction to the Watchower, scrutinizing every
article, every word they say and "fighting" it, you are still controlled emotionally
by the actions of the Watchtower. Sort of like a really bad divorce; and then you stalk
your ex-wife. Their is no faithful and discreet slave as the Watchtoer defines it.
So you can't 'improve' a false premise, a basic error cannot be 'cleaned-up'.
The term FDS is a weird twisting of instructions to take care of one another
its not about a power structure and setting up a 'sole channel of communication
between God and mankind' There is no Biblical support for the FDS, at all.
Its a parable about caring for others who need care, like the other parables, the Good
Samaritan, ( a guy who helped a stranger ) and the other illustration about
"I was hungry and you fed me, in prison and you visited me...."
All examples of how our actions toward others define our relationship to God.
I went to an interesting church a week ago, the Quakers,
They have no preacher, no creed, no doctrines, no leaders;
no governing body at all; no agenda. They are social activists, they ran
the underground railway and helped slaves escape slavery, and they were
active in the anti-apartheid movement. These are the important causes;
hunger, poverty, suffering, housing for the homeless, food for the hungry,
equality for all, men, women and all races everywhere, peace, social justice.
The Quakers meet and sit in a circle, in complete silence, and work on their
individual path, anyone who wants to say something,
can get up and say something, man, woman or child. Interesting church.
Fighting the Watchtower is beating a dead horse.
