Call it one of my pet peeves, but when I see the org. write about control of ones thinking as quoted below I get steamed . The statements such as: "Consider, too, the fact that Jehovah's organization alone, in all the earth, is directed by God's holy spirit or active force." How can they possibly prove this ? It only gets worse as time goes on. The mind control they exert is astounding and once one comprehends this it's impossible to see otherwise.

"Consider, too, the fact that Jehovah's organization alone, in all the earth,
is directed by God's holy spirit or active force. (Zech. 4:6). Only this
organization functions for Jehovah's purpose and to his praise. To it alone
God's Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book. Many persons of the world
are very intelligent, capable of understanding complex matters. They can read
the Holy scriptures, but they cannot understand their deep meaning. Yet God's
people can comprehend such spiritual things. Why? Not because of special
intelligence on their part, but as the apostle Paul declared: "For it is to us God has
reveled them through his spirit, for the spirit searches into all things,
even the deep things of God". (1Cor. 2:10). Jesus praised his heavenly Father
for "hiding such things from the wise and intellectual ones but revealing
them to babes." (Matt. 11:25) How very much true Christians appreciate
associating with the only organization on earth that understands the "deep
things of God"!

This is how the WT 3/15/01 p.15, par.#4-- explained what
Apostle Paul meant when he was writing to the Romans at (Rom. 8:6)
Paul wrote "The minding of the flesh means death, but the minding of the
spirit means life and peace."--(Romans 8:6)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question on par #4 was: WHAT DOES "THE MINDING OF THE SPIRIT MEAN?
WT 3/15/01 p.15,
"When Paul wrote about "the minding of the spirit," he used a Greek word that
denotes"way of thinking, mind(-set),....aim, aspiration, striving." A related
verb means "to think, to be minded in a certain way". Thus, "minding the
spirit means being controlled, dominated, and impelled by Jehovah's active
force. It signifies that we willingly let our thinking, inclinations
and aspirations come under complete influence of God's holy spirit."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So minding the spitit means being controlled, dominated, Impelled ? Yes ,to MEN in charge and writers of the Watchtower. If you believ there unproven claims of being the ONLY org. Directed by God.
