If this is up already and I missed it , - apologies....
Today's study article ,from March Study WT , is entitled " Jehovah Guides His People In The Way Of Life"....theme is Is. 30.21 " And your own ears will hear a word behind you saying, “This is the way. Walk in it,” in case you should go to the right or in case you should go to the left"
Article describes the leadership God has given over the years ,examples are Moses & the law, Jesus ,then First Century Apostles. Now the crux:-
Par 15] Especially since the appointment of “the faithful and discreet slave,” Jesus has provided his people with spiritual food at the proper time. (Matt. 24:45-47) This food has included vital directions in response to new circumstances.
Par 17 & 18] We need to employ the preaching tools provided by God’s organization. Do you desire to do that? Are you alert to the guidance given at our meetings on how we can use these tools and how to do so most effectively? Do you view these directions as guidance from God?
18 Indeed, to keep receiving God’s blessing, we need to pay attention to all the directions provided through the Christian congregation. Having an obedient spirit now will help us to follow directions during the “great tribulation,” which will eliminate Satan’s entire evil system. (Matt. 24:21) Thereafter, we will need new directions for new world living on an earth totally free of any satanic influence.
What? When they "suggest" the use of videos etc in the Ministry it is Guidance from God, elevating their ideas to being on a par with Moses and the Apostles ??? . They must be joking !
I know several older ones who firmly resist such developments and deplore the use of them in their meetings. Now they are told they are resisting "God's " guidance. If you stick to a paper based worship and study these days you have been a dinosaur who resists change... Now you are a resister of The one they all do love- Jehovah himself ....
